1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,800
Jeremiah chapter 31, verses 15 
through 40. 

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,440
Thus says the Lord, a voice is 
heard in Rama, lamentation and 

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,120
bitter weeping. 
Rachel is weeping for her 

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,800
children. 
She refuses to be comforted for 

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,000
her children because they are no
more. 

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,520
Thus says the Lord, keep your 
voice from weeping and your eyes

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,120
from tears, for there is a 
reward for your work, declares 

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,520
the Lord, and they shall come 
back from the land of the enemy.

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,760
There is hope for your future, 
declares the Lord, and your 

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,960
children shall come back to 
their own country. 

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,080
I have heard Ephraim is 
grieving. 

12
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,480
You have disciplined me, and I 
was disciplined like an 

13
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:46,480
untrained calf. 
Bring me back that I may be 

14
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:50,000
restored, for you are the Lord 
my God. 

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,920
For after I had turned away, I 
relented, and after I was 

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,800
instructed, I struck my thigh. 
I was ashamed and I was 

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,280
confounded because I bore the 
disgrace of my youth. 

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Is Ephraim my dear son? 
Is he my darling child? 

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,640
For as often as I speak against 
him, I do remember him still. 

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Therefore my heart yearns for 
him. 

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,520
I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord. 

22
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:20,280
Set up Rd. markers for yourself.
Make yourselves guidepost. 

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,040
Consider well the highway, the 
road by which you went. 

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,560
Return, O virgin Israel, return 
to these your cities. 

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,600
How long will you waver, O 
faithless daughter? 

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,640
For the Lord has created a new 
thing on the earth. 

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,920
A woman encircles a man. 
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,280
God of Israel. 
Once more they shall use these 

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,880
words in the land of Judah and 
in its cities, when I restore 

30
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,120
their fortunes. 
The Lord bless you, O habitation

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,640
of righteousness, O holy hill. 
And Judah and all its cities 

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,440
shall dwell there together, and 
the farmers and those who wander

33
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,160
with their flocks. 
For I will satisfy the weary 

34
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,880
soul, and every languishing soul
I will replenish. 

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,440
At this I awoke and looked, and 
my sleep was pleasant to me. 

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,280
Behold, the days are coming, 
declares the Lord, when I will 

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,440
sow the House of Israel and the 
House of Judah with the seed of 

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,080
man and the seed of beast. 
And it shall come to pass that I

39
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,400
have watched over them to pluck 
up and breakdown, to overthrow, 

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,880
destroy, and bring harm. 
So I will watch over them to 

41
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,320
build and to plant, declares the
Lord. 

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,200
In those days they shall no 
longer say, The fathers have 

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,600
eaten sour grapes and the 
children's teeth are set on 

44
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,400
edge. 
But everyone shall die for his 

45
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,600
own iniquity. 
Each man who eats sour grapes, 

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:50,360
his teeth shall be set on edge. 
The new covenant, Behold, the 

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,560
days are coming, declares the 
Lord, when I will make a new 

48
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,520
covenant with the House of 
Israel and the House of Judah. 

49
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,720
And not like the covenant that I
made with their fathers on the 

50
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,040
day when I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of

51
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,400
Egypt. 
My covenant that they broke, 

52
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400
though I was their husband, 
declares the Lord. 

53
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200
For this is the covenant that I 
will make what the House of 

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,880
Israel after those days, 
declares the Lord. 

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,880
I will put my law within them, 
and I will write it on their 

56
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,760
hearts, and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people. 

57
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,560
And no longer shall each one 
teach his neighbor, and each his

58
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,960
brother, saying, No, the Lord, 
For they shall all know me from 

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,560
the least of them to the 
greatest, declares the Lord. 

60
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,520
For I will forgive their 
iniquity, and I will remember 

61
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,080
their sin no more. 
Thus says the Lord, who gives 

62
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,680
the sun for light by day in the 
fixed order of the moon, and the

63
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,480
stars for light by night, who 
stirs up the sea, said its waves

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,040
roar. 
The Lord of Host is his name. 

65
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,400
If this fixed order departs from
before me, declares the Lord, 

66
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760
then shall the offspring of 
Israel cease from being a nation

67
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,160
before me forever. 
Thus says the Lord, if the 

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040
heavens above can be measured, 
and the foundations of the earth

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,880
below can be explored, then I 
will cast off all the offspring 

70
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,360
of Israel for all that they have
done, declares the Lord. 

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,240
Behold, the days are coming, 
declares the Lord, when the city

72
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,279
shall be rebuilt for the Lord 
from the tower of Hananel to the

73
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,800
corner gate, and the measuring 
line shall go out farther 

74
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,080
straight to the hill Garab, and 
shall then turn to Goa. 

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,480
The whole valley of the dead 
bodies and the ashes, and all 

76
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,120
the fields as far as the brook 
Kidron to the corner of the 

77
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,880
horse gate toward the east, 
shall be sacred to the Lord, and

78
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,240
shall not be plucked up or 
overthrown anymore forever. 

79
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,040
Jeremiah chapter 32 verses one 
through 25. 

80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Jeremiah buys a feel during the 
siege. 

81
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,240
The word that came to Jeremiah 
from the Lord in the 10th year 

82
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,440
of Zedekiah king of Judah, which
was the 18th year of 

83
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Nebuchadnezzar. 
At that time the army of the 

84
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,600
king of Babylon was besieging 
Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the 

85
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,880
prophet was shut up in the court
of the guard that was in the 

86
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,640
palace of the king of Judah. 
For Zedekiah king of Judah had 

87
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,320
imprisoned him, saying, Why do 
you prophecy? 

88
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,120
And say Thus says the Lord, 
Behold, I am giving this city 

89
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,200
into the hand of the king of 
Babylon, and he shall capture 

90
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560
it. 
Zedekiah king of Judah shall not

91
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,880
escape out of the hand of the 
Chaldeans, but shall surely be 

92
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,480
given into the hand of the king 
of Babylon, and shall speak with

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,960
him face to face and see him eye
to eye. 

94
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,600
And he shall take Zedekiah to 
Babylon, and there he shall 

95
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
remain until I visit him, 
declares the Lord. 

96
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,480
Though you fight against the 
Chaldeans, you shall not 

97
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,520
succeed. 
Jeremiah said The word of the 

98
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,280
Lord came to me, Behold Hanamel 
the son of Shalom, your uncle 

99
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,360
will come to you and say by my 
field that is at Anathoth, for 

100
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920
the right of redemption by 
purchase is yours. 

101
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:02,320
Then Hannamel, my cousin, came 
to me in the court of the guard 

102
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,400
in accordance with the word of 
the Lord, and said to me, by my 

103
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,040
field that is at Anathoth in the
land of Benjamin, for the right 

104
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,520
of possession and redemption is 
yours, buy it for yourself. 

105
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,840
Then I knew that this was the 
word of the Lord, and I bought 

106
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:21,640
the field at Anathoth from 
Hannamel my cousin, and weighed 

107
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,560
out the money to him 17 shekels 
of silver. 

108
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,360
I signed the deed, sealed it, 
got witnesses, and weighed the 

109
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,160
money on scales. 
Then I took the sealed deed of 

110
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,560
purchase containing the terms 
and conditions and the open 

111
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880
copy. 
And I gave the deed of purchase 

112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,240
to Baruch the son of Neriah, son
of Messiah, in the presence of 

113
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,840
Hanamel my cousin, in the 
presence of witnesses who signed

114
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:50,080
the deed of purchase, and in the
presence of all the Judeans who 

115
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,560
were sitting in the court of the
guard. 

116
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,040
I charged Baruch in their 
presence, saying, Thus says the 

117
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,040
Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, take these deeds, both 

118
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,680
this sealed deed of purchase and
this open deed, and put them in 

119
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,400
the earth and wear vessel, that 
they may last for a long time. 

120
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:10,200
For thus says the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, houses and 

121
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,240
fields and vineyards shall again
be bought in this land. 

122
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,200
Jeremiah prays for 
understanding. 

123
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,200
After I'd given the deed of 
purchase to Baruch the son of 

124
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,640
Neriah, I pray to the Lord, 
saying, Ah, Lord God, it is you 

125
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,040
who have made the heavens and 
the earth by your great power 

126
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,560
and by your outstretched arm. 
Nothing is too hard for you. 

127
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,440
You show steadfast love to 
thousands, but you repay the 

128
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,720
guilt of fathers to their 
children after them. 

129
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,240
Oh, great and mighty God, whose 
name is the Lord of hosts, great

130
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,200
in counsel and mighty indeed, 
whose eyes are open to all the 

131
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,160
ways of the children of man, 
rewarding each one according to 

132
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
his ways and according to the 
fruit of his deeds. 

133
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,080
You have shown signs and wonders
in the land of Egypt, and to 

134
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,920
this day in Israel and among all
mankind, and have made a name 

135
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,040
for yourself as at this day. 
You brought your people Israel 

136
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,480
out of the land of Egypt with 
signs and wonders, with a strong

137
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,640
hand and outstretched arm, and 
with great terror. 

138
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,440
And you gave them this land 
which you swore to their fathers

139
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,360
to give them, a land flowing 
with milk and honey. 

140
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,640
And they entered and took 
possession of it. 

141
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,000
But they did not obey your voice
or walk in your law. 

142
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,080
They did nothing of all you 
commanded them to do. 

143
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,520
Therefore you have made all this
disaster come upon them. 

144
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,679
Behold, the siege mounds have 
come up to the city to take it, 

145
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,840
and because of sword and famine 
and pestilence, the city is 

146
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,400
given into the hands of the 
Chaldeans who are fighting 

147
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,360
against it. 
What you spoke has come to pass,

148
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,760
and behold, you see it. 
Yet you, O Lord God, have said 

149
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,840
to me, buy the field for money 
and get witnesses, though the 

150
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:59,200
city is given into the hands of 
the Chaldeans. 2nd Thessalonians

151
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880
chapter 3. 
Pray for us. 

152
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Finally, brothers, pray for us 
that the word of the Lord may 

153
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,440
speed ahead and be honoured as 
happened among you, and that we 

154
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,760
may be delivered from wicked and
evil men. 

155
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,200
For not all have faith, but the 
Lord is faithful. 

156
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,320
He will establish you and guard 
you against the evil. 1 And we 

157
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,560
have confidence in the Lord 
about you, that you are doing 

158
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:25,520
and will do the things that we 
commanded. 

159
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,360
May the Lord direct your hearts,
the love of God, into the 

160
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,520
steadfastness of Christ. 
Warning against idleness. 

161
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,560
Now we command you, brothers, in
the name of the Lord Jesus 

162
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:41,920
Christ, that you keep away from 
any brother who was walking in 

163
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,360
idleness, and not in accord with
the tradition that you received 

164
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,000
from us. 
For you yourselves know how you 

165
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,520
ought to imitate us, because we 
were not idle when we were with 

166
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,360
you, nor did we eat anyone's 
bread without paying for it, but

167
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,440
with toil and labor we worked 
night and day that we might not 

168
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,760
be a burden to any of you. 
It was not because we do not 

169
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,280
have that right, but to give you
in ourselves an example to 

170
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,920
imitate. 
For even when we were with you, 

171
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360
we would give you this command. 
If anyone is not willing to 

172
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,440
work, let him not eat, for we 
hear that some among you walk in

173
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,080
idleness, not busy at work, but 
busy bodies. 

174
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,160
Now such persons we command and 
encourage in the Lord Jesus 

175
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Christ to do their work quietly 
and to earn their own living. 

176
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,720
As for you, brothers, do not 
grow weary in doing good. 

177
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,720
If anyone does not obey what we 
say in this letter, take note of

178
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,160
that person and have nothing to 
do with him, that he may be 

179
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,000
ashamed. 
Do not regard him as an enemy, 

180
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,800
but warn him as a brother. 
Benediction. 

181
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,480
Now may the Lord of peace 
himself give you peace at all 

182
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,720
times, in every way. 
The Lord be with you all. 

183
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,080
I, Paul, write this greeting 
with my own hand. 

184
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:02,960
This is the sign of genuineness 
in every letter of mine. 

185
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,800
It is the way I write. 
The grace of our Lord Jesus 

186
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:13,720
Christ be with you all. 
Proverbs chapter 6, verses 20 

187
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,200
through 29 warnings against 
adultery. 

188
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,720
My son, keep your Father's 
commandment and forsake not your

189
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,960
mother's teaching. 
Bind them on your heart, always 

190
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,560
tie them around your neck. 
When you walk they will lead 

191
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:32,440
you, when you lie down they will
watch over you, and when you 

192
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,280
wake they will talk with you. 
For the commandment is a lamp, 

193
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,840
and the teaching of light and 
the reproofs of discipline are 

194
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,680
the way of life. 
To preserve you from the evil 

195
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,680
woman, from the smooth tongue of
the adulteress. 

196
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,160
Do not desire her beauty in your
heart, and do not let her 

197
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,000
capture you with her eyelashes. 
For the price of a prostitute is

198
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,200
only a loaf of bread, but a 
married woman hunts down a 

199
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,720
precious life. 
Can a man carry fire next to his

200
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,520
chest and his clothes not be 
burned? 

201
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,240
Or can one walk on hot coals and
his feet not be scorched? 

202
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:08,360
So is he who goes into his 
neighbor's wife. 

203
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,480
None who touches her will go 
unpunished.
