Chapter 11.

00:02.060 --> 00:06.000
The word that came to Jeremiah from the
Lord, saying, Hear ye the words of this

00:06.000 --> 00:09.740
covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

00:10.280 --> 00:16.000
and say thou unto them, Thus saith the
Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that

00:16.000 --> 00:20.160
obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
which I commanded your fathers in the day

00:20.160 --> 00:23.980
that I brought them forth out of the land
of Egypt, from the iron furnace,

00:24.080 --> 00:28.760
saying, Obey my voice, and do them,
according to all which I command you.

00:28.760 --> 00:34.820
So shall ye be my people, and I will be
your God, that I may perform the oath

00:34.820 --> 00:39.040
which I have sworn unto your fathers,
to give them a land flowing with milk and

00:39.040 --> 00:41.060
honey, as it is this day.

00:42.080 --> 00:45.000
Then answered I, and said, So be it,
O Lord.

00:45.660 --> 00:49.720
Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all
these words in the cities of Judah,

00:50.100 --> 00:53.500
and in the streets of Jerusalem,
saying, Hear ye the words of this

00:53.500 --> 00:54.500
covenant, and do them.

00:54.980 --> 00:58.880
For I earnestly protested unto your
fathers in the day that I brought them up

00:58.880 --> 01:03.260
out of the land of Egypt, even unto this
day, rising early and protesting,

01:03.480 --> 01:05.040
saying, Obey my voice.

01:05.720 --> 01:10.060
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their
ear, but walked every one in the

01:10.060 --> 01:11.780
imagination of their evil heart.

01:12.580 --> 01:16.480
Therefore I will bring upon them all the
words of this covenant, which I commanded

01:16.480 --> 01:18.680
them to do, but they did them not.

01:19.380 --> 01:24.020
And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is
found among the men of Judah and among the

01:24.020 --> 01:25.160
inhabitants of Jerusalem.

01:25.880 --> 01:29.800
They are turned back to the iniquities of
their forefathers, which refuse to hear my

01:29.800 --> 01:32.600
words, and they went after other gods to
serve them.

01:33.180 --> 01:37.200
The house of Israel and the house of Judah
have broken my covenant, which I made with

01:37.200 --> 01:37.880
their fathers.

01:38.900 --> 01:43.880
Therefore thus saith the Lord,
Behold, I will bring evil upon them,

01:44.500 --> 01:46.500
which they shall not be able to escape.

01:47.040 --> 01:50.780
And though they shall cry unto me,
I will not hearken unto them.

01:51.740 --> 01:56.240
Then shall the cities of Judah and
inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto

01:56.240 --> 02:00.720
the gods unto whom they offer incense,
but they shall not save them at all in the

02:00.720 --> 02:01.520
time of their trouble.

02:02.280 --> 02:06.760
For according to the number of thy cities
were thy gods, O Judah, and according to

02:06.760 --> 02:10.420
the number of the streets of Jerusalem
have ye set up altars to that shameful

02:10.420 --> 02:13.360
thing, even altars to burn incense unto
Baal.

02:14.240 --> 02:18.600
Therefore pray not thou for this people,
neither lift up a cry or prayer for them,

02:19.480 --> 02:22.440
for I will not hear them in the time that
they cry unto me for their trouble.

02:23.500 --> 02:27.980
What hath my beloved to do in mine house,
seeing she hath wrought lewdness with

02:27.980 --> 02:30.520
many, and the holy flesh is passed from
thee?

02:31.560 --> 02:34.260
When thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

02:35.260 --> 02:39.620
The Lord called thy name, a green olive
tree fair and of goodly fruit.

02:39.620 --> 02:44.220
With the noise of a great tumult,
he hath kindled fire upon it, and the

02:44.220 --> 02:45.320
branches of it are broken.

02:46.300 --> 02:49.840
For the Lord of hosts that planted thee
hath pronounced evil against thee,

02:50.220 --> 02:54.320
for the evil of the house of Israel and of
the house of Judah, which they have done

02:54.320 --> 02:58.140
against themselves to provoke me to anger
in offering incense unto Baal.

02:59.400 --> 03:02.140
And the Lord hath given me knowledge of
it, and I know it.

03:03.140 --> 03:07.280
Then thou showest me their doings,
but I was like a lamb or an ox that is

03:07.280 --> 03:11.820
brought to the slaughter, and I knew not
that they had devised vices against me,

03:12.120 --> 03:16.840
saying, Let us destroy the tree with the
fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from

03:16.840 --> 03:19.720
the land of the living, that his name may
be no more remembered.

03:20.740 --> 03:25.280
But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest
righteously, that triest the reins and the

03:25.280 --> 03:30.600
heart, let me see thy vengeance on them,
for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

03:31.640 --> 03:36.200
Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men
of Anathoth, that seek thy life,

03:36.580 --> 03:41.660
saying, Prophesy not in the name of the
Lord that thou die not by our hand.

03:42.460 --> 03:46.240
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts,
Behold, I will punish them.

03:47.120 --> 03:50.960
The young men shall die by the sword,
the sons and their daughters shall die by

03:50.960 --> 03:53.260
famine, and there shall be no remnant of
them.

03:53.700 --> 03:57.800
For I will bring evil upon the men of
Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
