WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.040 Chapter 16. 00:01.860 --> 00:06.180 The word of the Lord came also unto me, saying, Thou shalt not take thee a wife, 00:06.760 --> 00:09.460 neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place. 00:10.140 --> 00:13.460 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are 00:13.460 --> 00:17.220 born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bear them, and concerning 00:17.220 --> 00:19.080 their fathers that begat them in this land. 00:19.580 --> 00:24.320 They shall die of grievous deaths, they shall not be lamented, neither shall 00:24.320 --> 00:28.340 they be buried, but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth, and they shall 00:28.340 --> 00:31.980 be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their carcasses shall be meat for the 00:31.980 --> 00:33.960 fowls of heaven and for the beasts of the earth. 00:34.620 --> 00:39.000 For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to 00:39.000 --> 00:40.100 lament nor bemoan them. 00:40.780 --> 00:44.860 For I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even 00:44.860 --> 00:46.460 lovingkindness and mercies. 00:47.140 --> 00:51.340 Both the great and the small shall die in this land, they shall not be buried, 00:51.800 --> 00:55.020 neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves 00:55.020 --> 00:58.860 bold for them, neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, 00:59.220 --> 01:03.240 to comfort them for the dead, neither shall men give them the cup of consolation 01:03.240 --> 01:05.040 to drink for their father or for their mother. 01:06.100 --> 01:09.980 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them and to eat and 01:09.980 --> 01:10.420 to drink. 01:11.140 --> 01:16.340 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will cause to 01:16.340 --> 01:19.900 cease out of this place in your eyes and in your days the voice of mirth, 01:20.300 --> 01:24.480 and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the 01:24.480 --> 01:24.840 bride. 01:25.660 --> 01:29.160 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these words, 01:29.720 --> 01:33.640 and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great 01:33.640 --> 01:34.700 evil against us? 01:35.120 --> 01:36.320 or what is our iniquity? 01:36.940 --> 01:39.660 or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God? 01:40.480 --> 01:44.140 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, 01:44.460 --> 01:47.800 saith the Lord, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, 01:48.540 --> 01:52.380 and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law, 01:52.940 --> 01:54.700 and ye have done worse than your fathers. 01:55.320 --> 01:59.440 For behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, 02:00.020 --> 02:01.660 that they may not hearken unto me. 02:02.600 --> 02:07.120 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye 02:07.120 --> 02:12.240 nor your fathers, and there shall ye serve other gods day and night, or I will not 02:12.240 --> 02:13.060 show you favor. 02:13.880 --> 02:17.760 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be 02:17.760 --> 02:22.400 said, The Lord liveth that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of 02:22.400 --> 02:22.920 Egypt. 02:23.780 --> 02:27.560 But the Lord liveth that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the 02:27.560 --> 02:31.900 north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them, and I will bring them 02:31.900 --> 02:34.340 again into their land that I gave them unto their fathers. 02:35.780 --> 02:40.740 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them. 02:41.640 --> 02:45.000 And after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every 02:45.000 --> 02:48.180 mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 02:48.980 --> 02:51.660 For mine eyes are upon all their ways. 02:52.600 --> 02:56.380 They are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine 02:56.380 --> 02:56.760 eyes. 02:57.560 --> 03:02.380 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have 03:02.380 --> 03:03.440 defiled my land. 03:03.980 --> 03:07.120 They have filled mine inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and 03:07.120 --> 03:08.160 abominable things. 03:09.400 --> 03:13.500 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction. 03:14.080 --> 03:17.320 The Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, 03:17.960 --> 03:21.680 Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no 03:21.680 --> 03:22.020 profit. 03:22.860 --> 03:26.340 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? 03:27.340 --> 03:30.560 Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know. 03:31.080 --> 03:36.240 I will cause them to know mine hand and my might, and they shall know that my name is 03:36.240 --> 03:36.920 the Lord.
