The Lord Will Deliver Those Who Return to Him, From the Hand of the Wicked |
Jeremiah 15:1-21 The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
Then the Lord said to me, [Although] Moses & Samuel stood before Me, [still] My mind couldn't [accept] this people. Cast them out of My sight & let them go [forward.] |
[Exodus 32:7-10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go & get down; [because] your people, [that] you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have quickly [gone astray from] the [path] I have commanded them. |
They have made [themselves] a [molded] calf & have worshiped it & sacrificed [to it] & said, These are your gods, O Israel, [that] have brought you up out of the land of Egypt. |
And the Lord said to Moses, I have seen this people & [saw] it is a stiffnecked, [a.k.a. stubborn] people. Therefore, now let Me alone, [so] that My [anger] may [grow] hot against them & consume them & I will make [from] you a great nation.] |
And it shall [happen,] if they say to you, [Where] shall we go [forward?] Then, you shall tell them, The Lord says [this;] [Some who are determined] for death, [shall go] to death. [Some determined] for the sword, [shall go by] the sword. [Some determined for] famine, [shall go by] famine. And [some determined for] captivity, [shall go into] captivity. |
[Revelation 13:10 Here is the patience & the faith of the saints: He, [who] leads [others] into captivity, shall go into captivity. He, [who] kills with the sword, must be killed with the sword.] |
The Lord says, And I will appoint over them 4 [ways:] the sword to slay; the dogs to tear; the fowls of heaven & the [animals] of the earth, to devour & destroy. And I will cause them to be removed [& go] into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, [Hezekiah's] son, [Judah's] king, for [what] he did in Jerusalem. |
[2 Kings 21:1-6 Manasseh was 12 years old when he began to [rule] & [ruled] 55 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah. And he did [what] was evil in the sight of the Lord, [like] the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children [people] of Israel. |
For [Manasseh rebuilt] again the high places [that] Hezekiah, his father, had destroyed. And he [put] up altars for Baal & made a grove, [like] Ahab, [Israel's] king, & worshiped all the [stars & constellations] of heaven & served them. And he built altars in the house of the Lord, in which the Lord said, I will put My Name in Jerusalem. |
And he built altars for all the [stars & constellations] of heaven in the 2 [courtyards] of the [Lord's] house. And he made his son pass through the fire & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology or horoscopes,] used enchantments & dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking with the dead] & wizards. He [did] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.] |
For who shall have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who shall [mourn for] you? Or who shall go [to the side] to ask how you [are doing?] You have [abandoned] Me, says the Lord & you [have] gone backward. ] |
Therefore, I will stretch out My hand against you & destroy you. I am [tired] with repenting. [Jeremiah 20:16 And let that man be [like] the cities [that didn't repent] that the Lord overthrew. And let him hear the [out] cry in the morning & the shouting at [noon.] |
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land. I will [deprive] them of children & I will destroy My people, since they [don't] return from their ways. [Jeremiah 1:16 And I will [express] My judgments against them, [about] all their wickedness. [Those] who have abandoned Me & have burned incense to other gods. And worshiped the works [made by] their hands.] |
Their widows [have] increased [of My people,] above the sand of the seas. [2 Chronicles 28:6 For Pekah, [Remaliah's] son, [killed] 120,000 valiant men in Judah in one day, because they had [abandoned] the Lord God of their [forefathers.] |
I have brought a [plunderer] against them & the mother of the young men, [at [noon.] I have caused him & terrors to fall upon the city suddenly. She, [who gave birth to] 7,[who have died,] [becomes weak] & she has [died, a.k.a. given up the ghost.] |
Her sun [has] gone down, while it was [still] day. She has been ashamed & [confused.] And I will deliver [those remaining] to the sword before their enemies, says the Lord. |
Woe is me, my mother [who has delivered] me, a man of [discord & arguments] to the whole earth! I haven't lent [for interest,] nor [have] men lent to me [for interest.] [Still,] everyone of them [curses] me. |
The Lord said, [Truly,] it shall [go] well with [those remaining.] [Truly,] I will cause the enemy to [treat] you well, in the time of evil & in the time of affliction. Shall iron break the Northern iron & the steel? I will give your [possessions] & [priceless] treasures to the [plunderer, because of] all your sins, even [within] all your borders. [Isaiah 52:3 For the Lord says [this,] You have sold yourselves for [nothing] & you will be redeemed without money.] |
And I will make you to [cross] with your enemies into a land [that] you [don't] know. For a fire [is stared] in My anger, which shall burn upon you. [Jeremiah 16:13 Therefore, I will cast you out of this land into a land that you [don't] know & neither [did] you, nor your [forefathers.] And you shall serve other gods there day & night, where I will show you [no favoritism.] |
O Lord, You know: remember me & visit me & [avenge] me of my persecutors. In Your [patience, don't] take me away. Know that I have suffered [disgrace,] for Your sake. Your Words were found & I [digested] them. And Your Word was the joy & rejoicing of [my] heart, [for] me. |
For I am called by Your Name, O Lord God of Hosts. [Jeremiah 1:9 [For this reason,] I will [still] plead with you, says the Lord. And I will plead with your children's children.] |
I [didn't sit] in the assembly of the mockers, nor [did I rejoice.] I sat alone, because of Your hand. [Isaiah 41:10 [Don't] fear; for I am with you. [Don't] be [discouraged;] for I am your God. I will strengthen you & [yes,] I will help you. [Yes,] I will uphold you with the right hand of My Righteousness.] |
For You have filled me with indignation [about injustice.] Why is my pain [continual] & my wound incurable, [that] refuses to be healed? [Will] You [totally] be to me [like] a liar & [like] waters that fail? Therefore, the Lord says [this,] If you return, then, I will bring you [back] again & you shall stand before Me. |
And if you take [out] [what is] precious, from [what is] vile, you shall be [like] My [mouthpiece.] Let them return to you; but [don't] return to them. [Isaiah 1:21-24 How this faithful city has become [like a] harlot! Your silver has become [scum] & your wine [is] mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious & [friends] of thieves. |
Everyone loves gifts & follows after rewards, [a.k.a. bribes.] They don't [fairly] judge the fatherless & neither does the [case] of the widow come to them. Therefore, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, says, I will ease [Myself] of [My] enemies.] |
And I will make you, to this people [like] a fenced [brass] wall. And they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you to save you & to deliver you, says the Lord. And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked. And I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible. |
[Isaiah 41:11-13 [Look,] all [those who] were [irate] against you, shall be ashamed & [confused.] They shall be [like] nothing & [those who argue] with you shall perish. |
You shall seek them & shall not find them, even [those who argued] with you & [those who] [go to] war & [fought] against you, shall be [like] nothing & [like] a thing [that didn't exist.] For, I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, [Don't] fear; I will help you.] |
