About the Sons & Daughters Born in This Place |
Jeremiah 16:1-21 The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
The Word of the Lord also came to me, saying, You shall not take [for yourself] a wife, & neither shall you have sons or daughters in this place. For the Lord says [this about] the sons & daughters that are born in this place & [about] the mothers [who bore] them. |
And [about] their fathers, [who fathered] them in this land. They shall die grievous deaths & they shall not be [mourned.] Neither shall they be buried. But they shall be [like human fertilizer] upon the [surface] of the earth. |
And they shall be [devoured] by the sword & by famine. And their [corpses] shall be meat for the [birds] of heaven & the [animals] of the earth. For the Lord says [this, Don't] enter into the house of mourning & neither go to [grieve,] nor [mourn for] them. |
For I have taken away My peace, even loving kindness & mercies, from this people, says the Lord. Both the [powerful] & the [powerless] shall die in this land. They shall not be buried & neither shall men [mourn] for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them. |
Neither shall men [weep] themselves for [those who are] in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their [mother's death.] [Proverbs 31:6-7 Give strong drink to him, [who] is ready to perish & wine to those [who have] heavy hearts. Let him drink & forget his poverty & no [longer] remember his misery.] |
Also, you shall not go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat & drink. For the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this, Look,] I will cause to cease out of this place, the [sound] of [happiness] & gladness & the [voices] of the bridegroom & the bride, [before] your eyes, [during] your [life.] |
[Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall [no longer] shine at all in you. And the [voices] of the bridegroom & the bride shall no [longer] be heard at all in you. For your merchants were the great men of the earth. [But] by your sorceries, all nations were deceived.] |
And it shall [happen,] when you shall [declare to] this people all these Words & they shall say to you, [Why] has the Lord [announced] all this [large disaster] against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God? |
The Lord says, Then, you shall say to them, Because your [forefathers] have [abandoned] Me & have [followed] after other gods & served & worshiped them. And [they] have [abandoned] Me & haven't kept My Law. |
And you have done worse than your [forefathers;] for [see,] everyone [follows] after the imagination of his evil heart, [so] that they [won't pay attention] to Me. Therefore, I will cast you out of this land, into land that you, nor your [forefathers] know. And there you shall serve other gods day & night, where I won't show you [partiality.] |
The Lord says, Therefore, [watch,] the days come, that it shall no [longer] be said, The Lord lives, [Who] brought up the children [people] of Israel, out of the land of Egypt. But [it shall be said,] The Lord lives, [Who] brought up the children [people] of Israel from the land of the North & all the lands [where] He had driven them. |
And I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their [forefathers.] [Jeremiah 24:7 And I will give them [a] heart to know Me, that I Am the Lord & they shall be My people & I will be their God. For they shall return to Me, with their whole heart.] |
The Lord says, [Look,] I will send for many fishers & they shall fish them [out.] And after [that,] I will send for many hunters & they shall hunt [for] them from every mountain & every hill & out of the [cave] holes of the rocks. |
[Amos 4:2-3 The Lord God has sworn by His Holiness, [Look,] the days shall come upon you, that He will take you away with hooks & your [descendants] with fish hooks. And you [will follow, like] every cow that is [in front of] her & shall go out at the [breaks in the walls,] & you shall cast them into the palace [prisons,] says the Lord.] |
For [My] eyes are upon all their ways & they [aren't hidden] from My face & neither is their [sin hidden] from [My] eyes. And 1st, I will [repay] their iniquity & sin double, because they have defiled My land & they have defiled [My] inheritance, with the carcasses of their detestable & abominable things. |
[Habakkuk 2:18 What [benefit is] the [carved] image that [its] maker has [carved] it & the [molded] image & a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts [in it,] to make [mute] idols?] |
O Lord, my: strength, fortress & refuge [on] the day of affliction. The Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth & shall say, Surely, our [forefathers] have inherited lies, vanity & things [in which] there is no [benefit.] |
[Isaiah 44:10 Who has formed a god, or a [molded, carved] image that is [beneficial for nothing?] |
Shall a man make gods [for] himself & they aren't gods? [Psalm 115:4-8 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [can't] speak. They have eyes, but they [can't] see. They have ears, but they [can't] hear. They have noses, but they [can't] smell. They have hands, but they [can't touch.] They have feet, but they [can't] walk. Neither can they speak through their throat. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them & so is everyone [who] trusts in them.] |
Therefore, [look,] I will cause them to know this once & I will cause them to know [My] hand & My [strength] & they shall know that My Name is The Lord. |
