00:01.780 --> 00:05.580
In the beginning of the reign of
Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of

00:05.580 --> 00:11.380
Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from
the Lord, saying, Thus saith the Lord to

00:11.380 --> 00:16.260
me, Make thee bonds and yokes,
and put them upon thy neck, and send them

00:16.260 --> 00:20.820
to the king of Edom, and to the king of
Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites,

00:21.320 --> 00:25.820
and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king
of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers

00:25.820 --> 00:28.960
which come to Jerusalem, and to Zedekiah,
king of Judah.

00:29.680 --> 00:33.760
And command them to say unto their
masters, Thus saith the Lord of hosts,

00:34.160 --> 00:40.260
the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto
your masters, I have made the earth,

00:40.440 --> 00:44.420
the man, and the beasts that are upon the
ground by my great power and by my

00:44.420 --> 00:48.400
outstretched arm, and have given it unto
whom it seemed meet unto me.

00:49.260 --> 00:53.640
And now have I given all these lands into
the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, the king of

00:53.640 --> 00:54.880
Babylon, my servant.

00:55.660 --> 00:58.420
And the beasts of the field have I given
him also to serve him.

00:58.420 --> 01:02.460
And all nations shall serve him,
and his son, and his son's son,

01:02.920 --> 01:04.800
until the very time of his land come.

01:05.580 --> 01:08.740
And then many nations and great kings
shall serve themselves of him.

01:09.480 --> 01:13.140
And it shall come to pass that the nation
and kingdom which will not serve the same

01:13.140 --> 01:17.440
Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon,
and that will not put their neck under the

01:17.440 --> 01:21.260
yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation
will I punish, saith the Lord,

01:21.820 --> 01:25.500
with the sword, and with the famine,
and with the pestilence, until I have

01:25.500 --> 01:26.940
consumed them by his hand.

01:27.760 --> 01:31.420
Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets,
nor to your diviners, nor to your

01:31.420 --> 01:36.100
dreamers, nor to your enchanters,
nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto

01:36.100 --> 01:39.240
you, saying, You shall not serve the king
of Babylon.

01:40.240 --> 01:44.160
For they prophesy a lie unto you,
to remove you far from your land,

01:44.660 --> 01:47.020
and that I should drive you out,
and you should perish.

01:47.920 --> 01:50.740
But the nations that bring their neck
under the yoke of the king of Babylon,

01:50.980 --> 01:55.760
and serve him, those will I let remain
still in their own land, saith the Lord.

01:56.220 --> 01:58.500
And they shall till it, and dwell therein.

01:59.460 --> 02:04.080
I speak also to Zedekiah king of Judah,
according to all these words, saying,

02:04.760 --> 02:08.340
Bring your necks under the yoke of the
king of Babylon, and serve him and his

02:08.340 --> 02:09.580
people, and live.

02:10.760 --> 02:15.040
Why will ye die, thou and thy people,
by the sword, by the famine, and by the

02:15.040 --> 02:18.800
pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken
against the nation that will not serve the

02:18.800 --> 02:19.520
king of Babylon?

02:20.560 --> 02:23.800
Therefore hearken not unto the words of
the prophets that speak unto you,

02:23.880 --> 02:29.180
saying, Ye shall not serve the king of
Babylon, for they prophesy a lie unto you.

02:30.120 --> 02:34.100
For I have not sent them, saith the Lord,
yet they prophesy a lie in my name,

02:34.420 --> 02:38.240
that I might drive you out, and that ye
might perish, ye and the prophets that

02:38.240 --> 02:39.240
prophesy unto you.

02:40.320 --> 02:44.480
Also I speak to the priests and to all
this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord,

02:45.080 --> 02:48.320
hearken not to the words of your prophets
that prophesy unto you, saying,

02:48.840 --> 02:52.800
Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house
shall now shortly be brought again from

02:52.800 --> 02:55.820
Babylon, for they prophesy a lie unto you.

02:56.620 --> 02:59.840
Hearken not unto them, serve the king of
Babylon, and live.

03:00.400 --> 03:02.280
Wherefore should this city be laid waste?

03:03.020 --> 03:07.200
But if they be prophets, and if the word
of the Lord be with them, let them now

03:07.200 --> 03:10.760
make intercession to the Lord of hosts,
that the vessels which are left in the

03:10.760 --> 03:13.920
house of the Lord, and in the house of the
king of Judah, and at Jerusalem,

03:14.360 --> 03:15.360
go not to Babylon.

03:16.440 --> 03:19.720
For thus saith the Lord of hosts
concerning the pillars, and concerning the

03:19.720 --> 03:23.440
sea, and concerning the bases,
and concerning the residue of the vessels

03:23.440 --> 03:27.900
that remain in this city, which
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon took not,

03:28.380 --> 03:32.740
when he carried away captive Jeconiah the
son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah,

03:32.860 --> 03:36.560
from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the
nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.

03:37.580 --> 03:41.300
Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, concerning the vessels

03:41.300 --> 03:44.380
that remain in the house of the Lord,
and in the house of the king of Judah,

03:44.440 --> 03:48.980
and of Jerusalem, they shall be carried to
Babylon, and there shall they be until the

03:48.980 --> 03:50.700
day that I visit them, saith the Lord.

03:51.400 --> 03:54.300
Then will I bring them up, and restore
them to this place.
