00:00.000 --> 00:01.100
Chapter 44.

00:02.320 --> 00:05.780
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning
all the Jews which dwell in the land of

00:05.780 --> 00:10.760
Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at
Tapanes, and at Noph, and in the country

00:10.760 --> 00:16.500
of Pathros, saying, Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel, Ye have seen all

00:16.500 --> 00:19.500
the evil that I have brought upon
Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of

00:19.500 --> 00:19.740
Judah.

00:20.320 --> 00:25.280
And behold, this day they are a
desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

00:25.720 --> 00:28.800
because of their wickedness which they
have committed to provoke me to anger,

00:29.220 --> 00:32.200
in that they went to burn incense,
and to serve other gods, whom they knew

00:32.200 --> 00:34.540
not, neither they ye nor your fathers.

00:35.460 --> 00:39.680
Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants
the prophets, rising early and sending

00:39.680 --> 00:43.460
them, saying, O do not this abominable
thing that I hate.

00:43.980 --> 00:47.540
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their
ear to turn from their wickedness,

00:47.880 --> 00:49.720
to burn no incense unto other gods.

00:50.600 --> 00:54.220
Wherefore my fury and mine anger was
poured forth, and was kindled in the

00:54.220 --> 00:56.420
cities of Judah, and in the streets of
Jerusalem.

00:57.260 --> 01:00.180
And they are wasted and desolate,
as at this day.

01:01.020 --> 01:04.280
Therefore now thus saith the Lord,
the God of hosts, the God of Israel,

01:05.200 --> 01:08.740
Wherefore commit ye this great evil
against your souls, to cut off from your

01:08.740 --> 01:13.620
man and woman, child and suckling,
out of Judah, to leave you none to remain,

01:14.380 --> 01:18.240
in that ye provoke me unto wrath,
with the works of your hands, burning

01:18.240 --> 01:21.860
incense unto other gods in the land of
Egypt, Whither ye be gone to dwell,

01:22.240 --> 01:25.560
that ye might cut yourselves off,
and that ye might be a curse, and a

01:25.560 --> 01:27.480
reproach among all the nations of the
earth.

01:28.560 --> 01:31.700
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your
fathers, and the wickedness of the kings

01:31.700 --> 01:35.080
of Judah, and the wickedness of their
wives, and your own wickedness,

01:35.280 --> 01:38.220
and the wickedness of your wives,
which they have committed in the land of

01:38.220 --> 01:39.920
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

01:41.120 --> 01:45.560
They are not humbled even unto this day,
neither have they feared nor walked in my

01:45.560 --> 01:50.080
law, nor in my statutes, that I set before
you and before your fathers.

01:51.420 --> 01:56.340
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, Behold, I will set my

01:56.340 --> 01:58.860
face against you for evil, and to cut off
all Judah.

01:59.660 --> 02:02.960
And I will take the remnant of Judah that
have set their faces to go into the land

02:02.960 --> 02:04.140
of Egypt, to sojourn there.

02:04.800 --> 02:07.820
And they shall all be consumed,
and fall in the land of Egypt.

02:08.300 --> 02:10.800
They shall even be consumed by the sword
and by the famine.

02:11.540 --> 02:15.180
They shall die from the least even unto
the greatest, by the sword and by the

02:15.180 --> 02:15.440
famine.

02:15.440 --> 02:19.580
And they shall be an execration,
and an astonishment, and a curse,

02:19.680 --> 02:20.400
and a reproach.

02:21.220 --> 02:24.640
For I will punish them that dwell in the
land of Egypt, as I have punished

02:24.640 --> 02:27.660
Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine,
and by the pestilence.

02:28.300 --> 02:31.700
So that none of the remnant of Judah,
which are gone into the land of Egypt to

02:31.700 --> 02:36.440
sojourn there, shall escape or remain,
that they should return into the land of

02:36.440 --> 02:39.480
Judah, to the which they have a desire to
return to dwell there.

02:40.280 --> 02:43.420
For none shall return, but such as shall
escape.

02:44.640 --> 02:47.660
Then all the men which knew that their
wives had burned incense unto other gods,

02:48.200 --> 02:52.040
and all the women that stood by,
a great multitude, even all the people

02:52.040 --> 02:55.960
that dwelt in the land of Egypt,
in Pathros, answered Jeremiah,

02:56.120 --> 03:00.200
saying, As for the word that thou hast
spoken unto us in the name of the Lord,

03:00.700 --> 03:02.060
we will not hearken unto thee.

03:02.680 --> 03:06.200
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing
goeth forth out of our own mouth,

03:06.580 --> 03:10.520
to burn incense unto the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink-offerings unto her,

03:10.780 --> 03:14.580
as we have done, we and our fathers,
our kings and our princes, in the cities

03:14.580 --> 03:16.560
of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem.

03:17.620 --> 03:21.080
For then had we plenty of vittles,
and were well, and saw no evil.

03:21.760 --> 03:25.200
But since we left off to burn incense to
the queen of heaven, and to pour out

03:25.200 --> 03:29.580
drink-offerings unto her, we have wanted
all things, and have been consumed by the

03:29.580 --> 03:30.480
sword, and by the famine.

03:31.380 --> 03:34.540
And when we burned incense to the queen of
heaven, and poured out drink-offerings

03:34.540 --> 03:38.660
unto her, did we make her cakes to worship
her, and pour out drink-offerings unto

03:38.660 --> 03:38.900
her?

03:39.040 --> 03:39.680
Without our men?

03:40.780 --> 03:44.680
Then Jeremiah said unto all the people,
to the men and to the women, and to all

03:44.680 --> 03:48.540
the people which had given him that
answer, saying, The incense that ye burned

03:48.540 --> 03:52.660
in the cities of Judah, and in the streets
of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers,

03:53.140 --> 03:56.920
your kings and your princes, and the
people of the land, did not the Lord

03:56.920 --> 03:57.560
remember them?

03:57.860 --> 03:59.480
And came it not into his mind?

04:00.300 --> 04:03.760
So that the Lord could no longer bear,
because of the evil of your doings,

04:03.840 --> 04:05.820
and because of the abominations which he
hath committed.

04:06.520 --> 04:10.140
Therefore is your land a desolation,
and an astonishment, and a curse,

04:10.520 --> 04:14.360
without an inhabitant as at this day,
because ye have burned incense,

04:14.800 --> 04:18.100
and because ye have sinned against the
Lord, and have not obeyed the voice of the

04:18.100 --> 04:22.080
Lord, nor walked in his law, nor in his
statutes, nor in his testimonies.

04:23.100 --> 04:26.220
Therefore this evil is happened unto you,
as at this day.

04:27.520 --> 04:31.340
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the
people, and to all the women, Hear the

04:31.340 --> 04:34.680
word of the Lord, all Judah that are in
the land of Egypt.

04:35.460 --> 04:40.320
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel, saying, Ye and your wives have

04:40.320 --> 04:43.360
both spoken with your mouths, and
fulfilled with your hand, saying,

04:44.080 --> 04:47.980
We will surely perform our vows that we
have vowed, to burn incense to the Queen

04:47.980 --> 04:50.540
of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings
unto her.

04:51.380 --> 04:54.720
Ye will surely accomplish your vows,
and surely perform your vows.

04:55.700 --> 04:59.180
Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord,
all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt.

04:59.760 --> 05:04.660
Behold, I have sworn by my great name,
saith the Lord, that my name shall no more

05:04.660 --> 05:08.460
be named in the mouth of any man of Judah,
in all the land of Egypt, saying,

05:09.260 --> 05:10.520
The Lord God liveth.

05:11.680 --> 05:14.840
Behold, I will watch over them for evil,
and not for good.

05:15.360 --> 05:19.060
And all the men of Judah that are in the
land of Egypt shall be consumed by the

05:19.060 --> 05:21.780
sword, and by the famine, until there be
an end of them.

05:22.720 --> 05:26.200
Yet a small number that escape the sword
shall return out of the land of Egypt,

05:26.500 --> 05:27.400
into the land of Judah.

05:28.040 --> 05:31.440
And all the remnant of Judah that are gone
into the land of Egypt to sojourn there

05:31.440 --> 05:35.980
shall know whose words shall stand,
mine or theirs.

05:37.120 --> 05:40.600
And this shall be a sign unto you,
saith the Lord, that I will punish you in

05:40.600 --> 05:45.040
this place, that ye may know that my words
shall surely stand against you for evil.

05:45.960 --> 05:46.880
Thus saith the Lord.

05:47.380 --> 05:51.580
Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of
Egypt into the hand of his enemies,

05:52.340 --> 05:56.040
and into the hand of them that seek his
life, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah

05:56.040 --> 06:00.320
into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
