WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.320 Chapter 32. 00:02.120 --> 00:05.980 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of 00:05.980 --> 00:08.880 Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. 00:09.780 --> 00:13.800 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the 00:13.800 --> 00:17.820 prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's 00:17.820 --> 00:18.120 house. 00:18.900 --> 00:23.420 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, 00:23.560 --> 00:25.560 and say, Thus saith the Lord. 00:26.220 --> 00:29.740 Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall 00:29.740 --> 00:30.240 take it. 00:31.120 --> 00:34.420 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, 00:34.900 --> 00:38.420 but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall 00:38.420 --> 00:39.700 speak with him mouth to mouth. 00:40.300 --> 00:44.220 And his eye shall behold his eyes, and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon. 00:44.800 --> 00:48.100 And there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord. 00:48.720 --> 00:51.880 Though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper. 00:52.760 --> 00:58.140 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Behold, Hanamel the 00:58.140 --> 01:02.960 son of Shalem, thine uncle, shall come unto thee, saying, By thee my field, 01:03.160 --> 01:06.860 that is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption, is thine to buy it. 01:07.200 --> 01:11.400 So Hanamel, mine uncle's son, came to me in the court of the prison, according to 01:11.400 --> 01:16.000 the word of the Lord, and said unto me, By my field, I pray thee, that is in 01:16.000 --> 01:20.020 Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin, for the right of inheritance is 01:20.020 --> 01:22.800 thine, and the redemption is thine, buy it for thyself. 01:23.380 --> 01:25.800 Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. 01:26.380 --> 01:30.160 And I bought the field of Hanamel, my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, 01:30.560 --> 01:33.280 and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. 01:33.980 --> 01:37.880 And I subscribed the evidence and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him 01:37.880 --> 01:38.840 the money in the balances. 01:39.720 --> 01:43.880 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to 01:43.880 --> 01:47.800 the law and custom, and that which was open, and I gave the evidence of the 01:47.800 --> 01:52.640 purchase unto Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Maseah, in the sight of 01:52.640 --> 01:56.020 Hanamel, my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed 01:56.020 --> 01:59.800 the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. 02:00.620 --> 02:04.720 And I charged Baruch before them, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 02:04.860 --> 02:09.000 the God of Israel, Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, 02:09.400 --> 02:13.600 both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open, and put them in an earthen 02:13.600 --> 02:15.960 vessel, that they may continue many days. 02:16.600 --> 02:20.680 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Houses and fields and 02:20.680 --> 02:22.940 vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. 02:23.900 --> 02:27.720 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch, the son of 02:27.720 --> 02:33.340 Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying, O Lord God, behold, thou hast made 02:33.340 --> 02:37.300 the heaven and the earth by thy great power, and stretched out arm, and there is 02:37.300 --> 02:38.340 nothing too hard for thee. 02:39.020 --> 02:43.360 Thou showest loving kindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity 02:43.360 --> 02:46.000 of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. 02:46.760 --> 02:51.600 The great, the mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name, great in counsel, 02:51.700 --> 02:52.780 and mighty in work. 02:53.300 --> 02:57.740 For thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one 02:57.740 --> 03:01.780 according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings, which hast set 03:01.780 --> 03:06.140 signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, 03:06.220 --> 03:10.520 and among other men, and hast made thee a name as at this day, and hast brought 03:10.520 --> 03:14.800 forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, 03:15.160 --> 03:19.840 and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror, 03:20.480 --> 03:24.360 and hast given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, 03:24.740 --> 03:26.620 a land flowing with milk and honey. 03:27.420 --> 03:28.800 And they came in and possessed it. 03:29.460 --> 03:32.240 But they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law. 03:32.620 --> 03:35.560 They have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do. 03:36.280 --> 03:38.940 Therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them. 03:39.520 --> 03:40.480 Behold the mounts. 03:41.060 --> 03:42.640 They are come unto the city to take it. 03:42.960 --> 03:46.180 And the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, 03:46.280 --> 03:48.980 because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence. 03:49.500 --> 03:51.340 And what thou hast spoken is come to pass. 03:52.040 --> 03:53.440 And behold, thou seest it. 03:54.080 --> 03:58.600 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take 03:58.600 --> 03:59.000 witnesses. 04:00.020 --> 04:02.420 For the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 04:03.160 --> 04:07.640 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the Lord, 04:07.760 --> 04:08.780 the God of all flesh. 04:08.780 --> 04:10.520 Is there anything too hard for me? 04:11.360 --> 04:15.060 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the 04:15.060 --> 04:19.120 hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon. 04:19.620 --> 04:20.540 And he shall take it. 04:20.960 --> 04:24.600 And the Chaldeans that fight against this city shall come and set fire on this city, 04:24.660 --> 04:29.260 and burn it with the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, 04:29.560 --> 04:32.660 and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods to provoke me to anger. 04:33.400 --> 04:36.800 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil 04:36.800 --> 04:38.060 before me from their youth. 04:38.060 --> 04:42.120 For the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of 04:42.120 --> 04:43.940 their hands, saith the Lord. 04:44.560 --> 04:48.020 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury, 04:48.380 --> 04:52.460 from the day that they built it, even unto this day, that I should remove 04:52.460 --> 04:57.420 it from before my face, because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the 04:57.420 --> 05:01.520 children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, 05:01.620 --> 05:04.620 their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, 05:04.780 --> 05:06.020 and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 05:06.500 --> 05:10.940 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face, though I taught them 05:10.940 --> 05:12.560 rising up early and teaching them. 05:13.120 --> 05:15.240 Yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. 05:15.980 --> 05:19.700 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, 05:19.980 --> 05:20.880 to defile it. 05:21.460 --> 05:25.080 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of 05:25.080 --> 05:29.000 Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto 05:29.000 --> 05:31.020 Molech, which I commanded them not. 05:31.760 --> 05:35.640 Neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah 05:35.640 --> 05:36.100 to sin. 05:36.920 --> 05:40.780 And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, 05:41.320 --> 05:45.380 whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the 05:45.380 --> 05:47.360 sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. 05:47.780 --> 05:51.820 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in 05:51.820 --> 05:54.020 mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath. 05:54.440 --> 05:56.440 And I will bring them again unto this place. 05:57.020 --> 05:58.680 And I will cause them to dwell safely. 05:59.160 --> 06:01.560 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 06:01.560 --> 06:06.240 And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever, 06:06.760 --> 06:09.080 for the good of them and of their children after them. 06:09.780 --> 06:14.040 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from 06:14.040 --> 06:15.460 them, to do them good. 06:16.040 --> 06:19.980 But I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. 06:20.600 --> 06:22.720 Yea, I will rejoice over them, to do them good. 06:23.220 --> 06:26.580 And I will plant them in this land assuredly, with my whole heart and with my 06:26.580 --> 06:27.200 whole soul. 06:27.840 --> 06:31.960 For thus saith the Lord, Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this 06:31.960 --> 06:35.560 people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. 06:36.520 --> 06:41.120 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man 06:41.120 --> 06:41.640 or beast. 06:42.300 --> 06:44.280 It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 06:45.220 --> 06:48.480 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, 06:48.800 --> 06:52.020 and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about 06:52.020 --> 06:55.460 Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, 06:55.460 --> 06:59.160 and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south. 06:59.800 --> 07:04.040 For I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.
