WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.260 Chapter 46. 00:02.020 --> 00:05.300 The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles, 00:05.820 --> 00:10.220 against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, which was by the 00:10.220 --> 00:13.760 river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, 00:13.920 --> 00:17.460 smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah. 00:18.040 --> 00:21.360 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle. 00:22.080 --> 00:25.940 Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your 00:25.940 --> 00:29.480 helmets, furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines. 00:30.480 --> 00:32.900 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? 00:33.300 --> 00:37.320 And their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back. 00:37.820 --> 00:40.500 For fear was round about, saith the Lord. 00:41.420 --> 00:44.400 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty men escape. 00:44.920 --> 00:48.420 They shall stumble and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates. 00:49.980 --> 00:54.000 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers? 00:54.920 --> 00:59.060 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers. 00:59.640 --> 01:03.140 And he saith, I will go up and will cover the earth. 01:03.700 --> 01:06.500 I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. 01:07.260 --> 01:12.040 Come up, ye horses, and rage, ye chariots, and let the mighty men come forth, 01:12.440 --> 01:16.320 the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield, and the Lydians 01:16.320 --> 01:17.660 that handle and bend the bow. 01:18.300 --> 01:22.940 For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may 01:22.940 --> 01:26.620 avenge him of his adversaries, and the sword shall devour, and it shall 01:26.620 --> 01:29.220 be satiate, and made drunk with their blood. 01:30.040 --> 01:33.180 For the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river 01:33.180 --> 01:33.720 Euphrates. 01:34.900 --> 01:39.280 Go up into Gilead, and take Baam, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt. 01:39.720 --> 01:43.620 In vain shalt thou use many medicines, for thou shalt not be cured. 01:44.240 --> 01:47.980 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land. 01:48.600 --> 01:53.040 For the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both 01:53.040 --> 01:53.820 together. 01:54.960 --> 01:58.820 The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar, 01:59.160 --> 02:02.100 king of Babylon, should come and smite the land of Egypt. 02:02.740 --> 02:07.300 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in 02:07.300 --> 02:07.840 Tappanhes. 02:08.540 --> 02:13.980 Say ye, stand fast, and prepare thee, for the sword shall devour round about 02:13.980 --> 02:14.220 thee. 02:15.300 --> 02:16.840 Why are thy valiant men swept away? 02:17.500 --> 02:20.020 They stood not, because the Lord did drive them. 02:20.880 --> 02:25.000 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another, and they said, Arise, 02:25.320 --> 02:28.520 and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, 02:28.840 --> 02:29.940 from the oppressing sword. 02:30.800 --> 02:35.160 They did cry there, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is but a noise, ye have passed the 02:35.160 --> 02:35.920 time appointed. 02:36.960 --> 02:40.560 As I live, saith the king, whose name is the Lord of hosts. 02:41.540 --> 02:46.500 Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he 02:46.500 --> 02:46.840 come. 02:47.700 --> 02:51.280 O thy daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity, 02:52.060 --> 02:54.720 for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant. 02:55.580 --> 03:00.580 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh, it cometh out of 03:00.580 --> 03:01.040 the north. 03:01.860 --> 03:06.060 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks, for they also are 03:06.060 --> 03:07.860 turned back, and are fled away together. 03:08.700 --> 03:11.720 They did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, 03:12.100 --> 03:13.320 and the time of their visitation. 03:14.400 --> 03:18.140 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent, for they shall march with an army, 03:18.560 --> 03:21.180 and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood. 03:21.960 --> 03:25.420 They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be 03:25.420 --> 03:29.040 searched, because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable. 03:29.660 --> 03:33.840 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded, she shall be delivered into the hand of 03:33.840 --> 03:34.880 the people of the north. 03:35.400 --> 03:40.880 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith, behold, I will punish the multitude 03:40.880 --> 03:44.900 of Noah, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods and their kings, 03:45.600 --> 03:47.780 even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him. 03:48.380 --> 03:52.280 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the 03:52.280 --> 03:56.480 hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. 03:57.020 --> 04:00.900 And afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord. 04:01.740 --> 04:05.580 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel. 04:06.160 --> 04:11.020 For behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their 04:11.020 --> 04:11.400 captivity. 04:12.360 --> 04:17.180 And Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 04:18.480 --> 04:22.100 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord, for I am with thee. 04:22.640 --> 04:25.820 For I will make a full end of all the nations, whither I have driven thee. 04:26.400 --> 04:29.260 But I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure. 04:30.420 --> 04:32.380 Yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
