00:00.560 --> 00:01.520
Chapter 29.

00:02.960 --> 00:06.740
Now these are the words of the letter that
Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem

00:07.120 --> 00:11.140
unto the residue of the elders which were
carried away captives, and to the priests,

00:11.380 --> 00:15.060
and to the prophets, and to all the people
whom Nebuchadrezzar had carried away

00:15.060 --> 00:16.960
captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.

00:18.020 --> 00:20.620
After that, Jeconiah the king,
and the queen, and the eunuchs,

00:20.980 --> 00:24.920
the princes of Judah and Jerusalem,
and the carpenters and the smiths were

00:24.920 --> 00:26.080
departed from Jerusalem.

00:26.820 --> 00:32.080
By the hand of Elisha the son of Shaphan,
and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah,

00:32.740 --> 00:36.820
whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent into
Babylon to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,

00:37.400 --> 00:42.500
saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, unto all that are

00:42.500 --> 00:46.680
carried away captives, whom I have caused
to be carried away from Jerusalem unto

00:46.680 --> 00:51.540
Babylon, build ye houses, and dwell in
them, and plant gardens, and eat the fruit

00:51.540 --> 00:51.880
of them.

00:52.520 --> 00:56.920
Take ye wives, and beget sons and
daughters, and take wives for your sons,

00:57.180 --> 01:00.720
and give your daughters to husbands,
that they may bear sons and daughters,

01:01.140 --> 01:04.000
that ye may be increased there,
and not diminished.

01:04.900 --> 01:08.460
And seek the peace of the city,
whither I have caused you to be carried

01:08.460 --> 01:11.360
away captives, and pray unto the Lord for
it.

01:11.920 --> 01:14.100
For in the peace thereof shall ye have
peace.

01:15.080 --> 01:19.020
For thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, Let not your prophets

01:19.020 --> 01:23.760
and your diviners that be in the midst of
you deceive you, neither hearken to your

01:23.760 --> 01:25.440
dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

01:26.140 --> 01:28.480
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my
name.

01:29.240 --> 01:31.180
I have not sent them, saith the Lord.

01:31.900 --> 01:36.200
For thus saith the Lord, that after
seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I

01:36.200 --> 01:40.580
will visit you, and perform my good word
toward you in causing you to return to

01:40.580 --> 01:41.160
this place.

01:41.900 --> 01:45.820
For I know the thoughts that I think
toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of

01:45.820 --> 01:48.960
peace and not of evil, to give you an
expected end.

01:49.440 --> 01:53.700
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall
go and pray unto me, and I will hearken

01:53.700 --> 01:54.280
unto you.

01:54.940 --> 01:58.620
And ye shall seek me and find me,
when ye shall search for me with all your

01:58.620 --> 01:58.980
heart.

01:59.820 --> 02:03.800
And I will be found of you, saith the
Lord, and I will turn away your captivity,

02:04.340 --> 02:07.760
and I will gather you from all the
nations, and from all the places whither I

02:07.760 --> 02:09.100
have driven you, saith the Lord.

02:09.480 --> 02:12.880
And I will bring you again into the place
whence I caused you to be carried away

02:12.880 --> 02:13.300
captive.

02:14.580 --> 02:19.380
Because ye have said, the Lord hath raised
us up prophets in Babylon, know that thus

02:19.380 --> 02:22.920
saith the Lord of the king that sitteth
upon the throne of David, and of all the

02:22.920 --> 02:26.200
people that dwelleth in this city,
and of your brethren that are not gone

02:26.200 --> 02:27.580
forth with you into captivity.

02:28.380 --> 02:32.560
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold,
I will send upon them the sword,

02:32.680 --> 02:35.940
the famine, and the pestilence,
and will make them like vile figs that

02:35.940 --> 02:37.840
cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

02:38.640 --> 02:41.880
And I will persecute them with the sword,
with the famine, and with the pestilence,

02:42.180 --> 02:46.040
and will deliver them to be removed to all
the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse,

02:46.180 --> 02:50.140
and an astonishment, and an hissing,
and a reproach, among all the nations

02:50.140 --> 02:51.240
whither I have driven them.

02:52.240 --> 02:55.760
Because they have not hearkened to my
words, saith the Lord, which I sent unto

02:55.760 --> 02:59.340
them by my servants the prophets,
rising up early and sending them,

02:59.800 --> 03:01.560
which ye would not hear, saith the Lord.

03:02.540 --> 03:06.800
Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord,
all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent

03:06.800 --> 03:07.980
from Jerusalem to Babylon.

03:09.140 --> 03:13.960
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel, of Ahab, the son of Calaiah,

03:14.440 --> 03:18.940
and of Zedekiah the son of Maseah,
which prophesy a lie unto you in my name.

03:19.460 --> 03:23.500
Behold, I will deliver them into the hand
of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon,

03:24.000 --> 03:25.900
and he shall slay them before your eyes.

03:26.740 --> 03:30.460
And of them shall be taken up a curse by
all the captivity of Judah, which are in

03:30.460 --> 03:35.220
Babylon, saying, The Lord make thee like
Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of

03:35.220 --> 03:36.600
Babylon roasted in the fire.

03:37.440 --> 03:40.900
Because they have committed villainy in
Israel, and have committed adultery with

03:40.900 --> 03:45.160
their neighbors' wives, and have spoken
lying words in my name, which I have not

03:45.160 --> 03:45.820
commanded them.

03:46.320 --> 03:49.120
Even I know, and am a witness,
saith the Lord.

03:50.060 --> 03:55.720
Thus shalt thou also speak to Shimea the
Nehelamite, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord

03:55.720 --> 04:00.060
of hosts, the God of Israel, saying,
Because thou hast sent letters in thy name

04:00.060 --> 04:04.120
unto all the people that are at Jerusalem,
and to Zephaniah the son of Maseah the

04:04.120 --> 04:08.280
priest, and to all the priests,
saying, The Lord hath made thee priest in

04:08.280 --> 04:12.240
the stead of Jehoiada the priest,
that ye should be officers in the house of

04:12.240 --> 04:12.620
the Lord.

04:13.340 --> 04:17.240
For every man that is mad, and maketh
himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put

04:17.240 --> 04:18.700
him in prison, and in the stocks.

04:19.720 --> 04:24.380
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved
Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself

04:24.380 --> 04:25.160
a prophet to you?

04:26.160 --> 04:30.160
For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon,
saying, This captivity is long,

04:30.640 --> 04:34.100
build ye houses, and dwell in them,
and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of

04:34.100 --> 04:34.280
them.

04:35.160 --> 04:38.460
And Zephaniah the priest read this letter
in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

04:39.200 --> 04:43.400
Then came the word of the Lord unto
Jeremiah, saying, Send to all them of the

04:43.400 --> 04:47.440
captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord
concerning Shimea the Nehelamite,

04:47.880 --> 04:50.160
because that Shimea hath prophesied unto
you.

04:50.620 --> 04:53.320
And I sent him not, and he caused you to
trust in a lie.

04:54.180 --> 04:57.720
Therefore thus saith the Lord,
Behold, I will punish Shimea the

04:57.720 --> 04:59.040
Nehelamite and his seed.

04:59.480 --> 05:01.520
He shall not have a man to dwell among
this people.

05:02.240 --> 05:05.460
Neither shall he behold the good that I
will do for my people, saith the Lord,

05:05.460 --> 05:08.300
because he hath taught rebellion against
the Lord.
