00:15 Hello and welcome to "His Words Are Life."
00:17 I am Kelly Mowrer and today we're going
00:19 to be reading in the Book of Jeremiah.
00:21 But before we start let's pray.
00:24 Dear Heavenly Father, as we hear today
00:27 Your words spoken so long ago.
00:30 Please send the Holy Spirit
00:32 to bring them new meaning to our lives today.
00:36 May we not turn aside from what you have told us to do
00:40 and for the good of our souls and for the safety of our feet
00:44 and our lives keep us walking in Your ways.
00:47 We love you so much
00:48 and thank You for loving us, amen.
00:51 We're reading in the book of Jeremiah.
00:53 Staring in Chapter 44, with verse 26
00:57 this is the King James Version.
01:00 "Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord,
01:03 all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt.
01:06 Behold I have sworn by my great name,
01:09 saith the Lord, that my name
01:12 shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah
01:15 in all the land of Egypt.
01:17 Saying, the Lord God liveth,
01:18 behold, I will watch over them for evil,
01:21 and not for good, and all the men of Judah
01:23 that are in the land of Egypt.
01:25 Shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine,
01:28 until there be an end of them.
01:30 Yet a small number that escape the sword
01:34 shall return out of the land of Egypt
01:35 into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah,
01:39 that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there,
01:42 shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
01:48 And this shall be a sign unto you,
01:50 saith the Lord that I will punish you
01:51 in this place that ye may know
01:53 that my words shall surely stand against you for evil.
01:58 Thus saith the Lord behold, I will give Pharaohhophra
02:02 king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies,
02:05 and into the hand of them that seek his life,
02:08 as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah
02:11 into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
02:13 king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life."
02:18 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 45,
02:21 this is the King James Version.
02:24 "The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch
02:28 the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book
02:31 at the mouth of Jeremiah,
02:33 in the fourth year of Jehoiakim
02:34 the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying.
02:37 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel,
02:39 unto thee, O Baruch.
02:41 Thou did say, woe is me now,
02:43 for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow,
02:46 I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
02:49 Thus shalt thou say unto him, the Lord saith thus, behold,
02:54 that which I have built will I break down,
02:58 and that which I have planted I will pluck up,
03:00 even this whole land.
03:01 And seekest thou great things for thyself?
03:05 For, Behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh,
03:07 saith the Lord, but thy life will I give unto thee
03:11 for a pray in all places whither thou goest."
03:15 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 46,
03:18 this is the Kings James Version.
03:20 "The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah
03:22 the prophet against the Gentiles,
03:25 against Egypt, against the army
03:27 of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt,
03:28 which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish,
03:32 which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
03:34 smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim
03:36 the son of Josiah king of Judah.
03:39 Order ye the buckler and shield,
03:41 and draw near to battle.
03:43 Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen,
03:46 and stand forth with your helmets,
03:48 furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
03:51 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed
03:53 and turned away back?
03:55 And their mighty ones are beaten down,
03:57 and are fled apace, and look not back,
03:59 for fear was round about, saith the Lord.
04:03 Let not the swift flee away,
04:05 nor the mighty man escape they shall stumble,
04:08 and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
04:12 Who is this that cometh up as a flood,
04:14 whose waters are moved as the rivers?
04:17 Egypt riseth up like a flood,
04:18 and his waters are moved like the rivers,
04:20 and he saith I will go up,
04:22 and will cover the earth I will destroy the city
04:24 and the inhabitants thereof.
04:26 Come up, ye horses, and rage, ye chariots,
04:29 and let the mighty men come forth,
04:31 the Ethiopians and the Libyans,
04:33 that handle the shield, and the Lydians,
04:35 that handle and bend the bow.
04:38 For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts,
04:41 a day of vengeance,
04:42 that he may avenge him of his adversaries.
04:45 And the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate
04:48 and made drunk with their blood,
04:50 for the Lord God of hosts
04:52 hath a sacrifice in the north country
04:54 by the river Euphrates.
04:56 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin,
04:59 the daughter of Egypt,
05:00 in vain shalt thou use many medicines,
05:03 for thou shalt not be cured.
05:06 The nations have heard of thy shame,
05:07 and thy cry hath filled the land,
05:10 for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty,
05:12 and they are fallen both together.
05:16 The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet,
05:19 how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come
05:22 and smite the land of Egypt.
05:25 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol,
05:27 and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes.
05:30 Say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee,
05:33 for the sword shall devour round about thee.
05:36 Why are thy valiant men swept away?
05:39 They stood not, because the Lord did drive them.
05:43 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another,
05:46 and they said, Arise, and let us go again
05:48 to our own people, and to the land of our nativity,
05:51 from the oppressing sword.
05:53 They did cry there, Pharaoh King of Egypt is but a noise,
05:57 he hath passed the time appointed.
06:00 As I live, saith the King,
06:03 whose name is the Lord of hosts,
06:05 Surely as Tabor is among the mountains,
06:08 and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
06:12 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt,
06:14 furnish thyself to go into captivity,
06:18 for Noph shall be waste
06:19 and desolate without an inhabitant.
06:22 Egypt is like a very fair heifer,
06:24 but destruction cometh, it cometh out of the north.
06:29 Also her hired men are in the midst of her
06:31 like fatted bullocks, for they also are turned back,
06:34 and are fled away together, they did not stand, because
06:37 the day of their calamity was come upon them,
06:39 and the time of their visitation.
06:42 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent,
06:44 for they shall march with an army,
06:45 and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
06:49 They shall cut down her forest,
06:50 saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched,
06:53 because they are more than the grasshoppers,
06:54 and are innumerable.
06:57 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded,
06:59 she shall be delivered
07:00 into the hand of the people of the north.
07:03 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
07:05 saith, Behold, I will punish the multitude of No,
07:09 and Pharaoh, and Egypt,
07:10 with their gods, and their kings,
07:12 even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him.
07:15 And I will deliver them into the hand of those
07:17 that seek their lives,
07:19 and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
07:21 king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants,
07:23 and afterward it shall be inhabited,
07:26 as in the days of old, saith the Lord.
07:29 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob,
07:32 and be not dismayed, O Israel, for, Behold,
07:34 I will save thee from afar off,
07:37 and thy seed from the land of their captivity,
07:40 and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease,
07:44 and none shall make him afraid.
07:47 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant,
07:50 saith the Lord, for I am with thee,
07:53 for I will make a full end of all the nations
07:56 whither I have driven thee,
07:57 but I will not make a full end of thee,
08:00 but correct thee in measure,
08:02 yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished."
08:07 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 47
08:09 and this is the Kings James Version.
08:12 "The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah
08:14 the prophet against the Philistines,
08:16 before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
08:19 Thus saith the Lord, Behold,
08:21 waters rise up out of the north,
08:23 and shall be an overflowing flood,
08:25 and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein,
08:28 the city, and them that dwell therein,
08:32 then the men shall cry,
08:33 and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
08:35 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs
08:37 of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots,
08:40 and at the rumbling of his wheels,
08:42 the fathers shall not look back
08:44 to their children for feebleness of hands.
08:47 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines,
08:51 and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon
08:53 every helper that remaineth,
08:56 for the Lord will spoil the Philistines,
08:58 the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
09:02 Baldness is come upon Gaza,
09:05 Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley,
09:07 how long wilt thou cut thyself?
09:10 O thou sword of the Lord,
09:11 how long will it be ere thou be quiet?
09:15 Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
09:19 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord
09:21 hath given it a charge against Ashkelon,
09:23 and against the sea shore?
09:25 There hath he appointed it."
09:28 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 48
09:31 this is the Kings James Version.
09:34 "Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts,
09:36 the God of Israel, woe, unto Nebo for it is spoiled,
09:41 Kiriathaim is confounded and taken,
09:44 Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
09:48 There shall be no more praise of Moab,
09:51 in Heshbon they have devised evil against it,
09:53 come, and let us cut it off from being a nation.
09:56 Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen,
09:59 the sword shall pursue thee.
10:01 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim,
10:05 spoiling and great destruction.
10:07 Moab is destroyed, her little ones
10:09 have caused a cry to be heard.
10:11 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up,
10:15 for in the going down of Horonaim
10:17 the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
10:20 Flee, save your lives,
10:21 and be like the heath in the wilderness.
10:24 For because thou hast trusted in thy works
10:28 and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken,
10:32 and Chemosh shall go forth
10:33 into captivity with his priests
10:35 and his princes together.
10:37 And the spoiler shall come upon every city,
10:40 and no city shall escape, the valley also shall perish,
10:44 and the plain shall be destroyed,
10:45 as the Lord hath spoken.
10:48 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away,
10:51 for the cities thereof shall be desolate,
10:53 without any to dwell therein.
10:56 Cursed be he that doeth
10:57 the work of the Lord deceitfully,
10:59 and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11:03 Moab hath been at ease from his youth,
11:06 and he hath settled on his lees,
11:08 and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
11:11 neither hath he gone into captivity,
11:13 therefore his taste remained in him,
11:15 and his scent is not changed.
11:18 Therefore, Behold, the days come,
11:20 saith the Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers,
11:24 that shall cause him to wander,
11:26 and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
11:28 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh,
11:31 as the house of Israel
11:32 was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
11:36 How say ye, we are mighty and strong men for the war?
11:40 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities,
11:43 and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,
11:45 saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
11:49 The calamity of Moab is near to come,
11:52 and his affliction hasteth fast.
11:55 All ye that are about him, bemoan him,
11:58 and all ye that know his name, say,
12:00 How is the strong staff broken,
12:02 and the beautiful rod.
12:04 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon,
12:06 come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst,
12:09 for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee,
12:12 and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
12:16 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy,
12:20 ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth,
12:23 and say, What is done?
12:25 Moab is confounded, for it is broken down,
12:29 howl and cry, tell ye it in Arnon,
12:33 that Moab is spoiled,
12:35 and judgment is come upon the plain country,
12:38 upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
12:43 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo,
12:45 and upon Bethdiblathaim, and upon Kiriathaim,
12:49 and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
12:52 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah,
12:54 and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
12:58 The horn of Moab is cut off,
13:00 and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.
13:03 Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself
13:07 against the Lord, Moab also shall wallow in his vomit,
13:11 and he also shall be in derision.
13:13 For was not Israel a derision unto thee?
13:16 Was he found among thieves?
13:18 For since thou spakest of him thou skippedst for joy.
13:22 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities,
13:25 and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove
13:27 that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
13:30 We have heard the pride of Moab,
13:33 he is exceeding proud his loftiness,
13:36 and his arrogancy, and his pride,
13:38 and the haughtiness of his heart.
13:41 I know his wrath, saith the Lord,
13:43 but it shall not be so,
13:45 his lies shall not so effect it.
13:48 Therefore will I howl for Moab,
13:50 and I will cry out for all Moab,
13:53 mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
13:57 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee
14:00 with the weeping of Jazer,
14:02 thy plants are gone over the sea,
14:04 they reach even to the sea of Jazer,
14:05 the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits
14:08 and upon thy vintage.
14:10 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field,
14:13 and from the land of Moab,
14:15 and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses,
14:19 none shall tread with shouting,
14:21 their shouting shall be no shouting.
14:23 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh,
14:26 and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice,
14:29 from Zoar even unto Horonaim,
14:31 as an heifer of three years old,
14:33 for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate."
14:38 Please join me again next time
14:39 to read the word of God together.
14:40 Good bye.
