WEBVTT 00:00.560 --> 00:01.460 Chapter 25. 00:02.680 --> 00:07.000 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year 00:07.000 --> 00:11.460 of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that was the first year of 00:11.460 --> 00:13.100 Nebuchadrezza, king of Babylon. 00:14.000 --> 00:18.240 The witch Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah and to all the 00:18.240 --> 00:22.260 inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, From the thirteenth year of Josiah, 00:22.520 --> 00:27.420 the son of Ammon, king of Judah, even unto this day, that is, the three and 00:27.420 --> 00:32.900 twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, 00:33.360 --> 00:34.540 rising early and speaking. 00:35.440 --> 00:36.640 But ye have not hearkened. 00:37.360 --> 00:41.820 And the Lord hath sent unto you and all his servants the prophets, rising early 00:41.820 --> 00:42.540 and sending them. 00:43.080 --> 00:45.880 But ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. 00:46.540 --> 00:51.380 They said, Turn ye again now, every one, from his evil way, and from the evil of 00:51.380 --> 00:55.800 your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your 00:55.800 --> 00:56.980 fathers for ever and ever. 00:57.760 --> 01:02.720 And go not after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and provoke me not to 01:02.720 --> 01:06.400 anger with the works of your hands, and I will do you no hurt. 01:07.380 --> 01:11.700 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord, that ye might provoke me 01:11.700 --> 01:14.740 to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. 01:15.920 --> 01:20.280 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Because ye have not heard my words, 01:20.760 --> 01:25.040 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, 01:25.560 --> 01:29.760 and Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against 01:29.760 --> 01:34.580 this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations 01:34.580 --> 01:39.500 round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment and an 01:39.500 --> 01:41.780 hissing and perpetual desolations. 01:43.120 --> 01:47.300 Moreover, I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, 01:47.880 --> 01:51.900 the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones 01:51.900 --> 01:53.000 and the light of the candle. 01:54.180 --> 01:59.460 And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations 01:59.460 --> 02:02.180 shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 02:03.300 --> 02:08.040 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish 02:08.040 --> 02:12.840 the king of Babylon and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, 02:13.180 --> 02:17.040 and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 02:18.020 --> 02:21.980 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, 02:22.820 --> 02:26.860 even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all 02:26.860 --> 02:27.360 the nations. 02:28.260 --> 02:31.860 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also, 02:32.800 --> 02:36.700 and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of 02:36.700 --> 02:37.500 their own hands. 02:38.280 --> 02:43.080 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me, take the wine cup of this fury at my 02:43.080 --> 02:46.640 hand, and call all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it. 02:47.300 --> 02:51.460 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I 02:51.460 --> 02:52.320 will send among them. 02:53.360 --> 02:56.820 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to drink, 02:57.360 --> 03:01.960 unto whom the Lord had sent me, to wit Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, 03:02.620 --> 03:06.640 and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, 03:06.780 --> 03:10.540 an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse, as it is this day. 03:11.380 --> 03:15.140 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people, 03:15.640 --> 03:20.540 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings 03:20.540 --> 03:24.940 of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azer, and Ekron, 03:25.380 --> 03:30.340 and the remnant of Ashdod, Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, 03:30.940 --> 03:36.860 and all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles 03:36.860 --> 03:42.900 which are beyond the sea, Dedan, and Tima, and Buz, and all that are in the 03:42.900 --> 03:48.340 utmost corners, and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled 03:48.340 --> 03:53.360 people that dwell in the desert, and all the kings of Zimri, and all the 03:53.360 --> 03:57.880 kings of Elam, and all the kings of Medes, and all the kings of the north, 03:58.020 --> 04:02.620 far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world which 04:02.620 --> 04:07.560 are upon the face of the earth, and the king of Shishak shall drink after 04:07.560 --> 04:07.820 them. 04:08.780 --> 04:13.400 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 04:13.400 --> 04:18.760 Israel, drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, 04:19.300 --> 04:21.640 because of the sword which I will send among you. 04:22.460 --> 04:26.260 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, 04:26.900 --> 04:31.340 then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Ye shall 04:31.340 --> 04:36.460 certainly drink, for lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my 04:36.460 --> 04:42.340 name, and should ye be utterly unpunished, ye shall not be unpunished, for I will 04:42.340 --> 04:46.700 call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts. 04:47.680 --> 04:51.220 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, 04:51.740 --> 04:55.460 The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy 04:55.460 --> 05:00.440 habitation, he shall mightily roar upon his habitation, he shall give a shout, 05:01.060 --> 05:05.420 as they that tread the grapes against all the inhabitants of the earth, a noise 05:05.420 --> 05:10.020 shall come even to the ends of the earth, for the Lord hath a controversy with the 05:10.020 --> 05:14.680 nations, he will plead with all flesh, he will give them that are wicked to the 05:14.680 --> 05:15.960 sword, saith the Lord. 05:17.100 --> 05:22.520 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, 05:22.940 --> 05:27.520 and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth, and the 05:27.520 --> 05:31.240 slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth, even unto the 05:31.240 --> 05:35.620 other end of the earth, they shall not be lamented, neither gathered nor buried, 05:36.160 --> 05:37.980 they shall be dung upon the ground. 05:39.100 --> 05:43.420 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry, and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principle of 05:43.420 --> 05:47.740 the flock, for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished, 05:48.480 --> 05:52.560 and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel, and the shepherd shall have no way to 05:52.560 --> 05:55.100 flee, nor the principle of the flock to escape. 05:56.040 --> 05:59.360 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principle of the 05:59.360 --> 06:04.720 flock shall be heard, for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture, and the peaceable 06:04.720 --> 06:07.740 habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord. 06:08.460 --> 06:13.160 He hath forsaken his covert as the lion, for their land is desolate because of the 06:13.160 --> 06:16.180 fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
