Jeremiah 25:1-38 For Choosing to Worship False gods, They Will Go to Babylon 70 Years

For Choosing to Worship False gods, They Will Go to Babylon 70 Years

Jeremiah 25:1-38                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word that came to Jeremiah [about] all the people of Judah, [during] the 4th year Jehoiakim, [Josiah's] son, [ruled as] [Judah's] king. That was the 1st year, Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, [ruled.]

Jeremiah, the prophet, [spoke] [this] to all the people of Judah, & all the [residents] of Jerusalem, saying, From the 13th year of Josiah, [Amon's] son, [Judah's] king [ruled,] even [until] this day, that is the 23rd year.

The Word of the Lord [has] come to me, & I have spoken to you, rising early, & speaking [to warn you,] but you haven't [paid attention.] And the Lord [has] sent all His servants, the prophets, to you, rising early, & sending them [to warn you,] but you haven't [listened,] nor [leaned] your ear to hear.

[Jeremiah 11:9-10 And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found among: the men of Judah, & the [residents] of Jerusalem. They [have] turned back to their [forefathers' sins, who] refused to hear My Words, & they went after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel, & the house of Judah have broken My covenant, [a.k.a. contract, that] I made with their [forefathers.]

They said, Now, everyone [of] you [return] again from: his evil way, & your evil [actions,] & dwell in the land that the Lord [has] given to you, & to your [forefathers] forever & ever. And [don't] go after other gods to: serve, & worship them. And [don't] provoke Me to anger with the works [made] [by] your hands, & I [won't harm] you. [Isaiah 2:7-8 Their land is full of silver & gold. Neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land is also full of horses, & neither is there any end of their chariots. Also, their land is full of Idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that their own fingers have made.]

The Lord [says, Still,] you haven't [paid attention] to Me, [so,] that you might provoke Me to anger with the works [made] [by] your hands, to your own [harm.] [Judges 10:11-14 And the Lord said to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, [Didn't I deliver you from the: Egyptians, Amorites, the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon, & from the Philistines? Also: the Zidonians, [a.k.a. Sidonians,] Amalekites, & the Maonites, [who] [oppressed] you. And you cried [out] to Me, & I delivered you out of their hand. [Still,] you have [abandoned] Me, & served other gods. [For this reason,] I will no [longer] deliver you. Go, & cry [out] to the gods, [that] you have chosen. Let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.]

Therefore, the Lord of Hosts [says this;] Because you haven't heard My Words, [Watch,] I will send [for,] & will take all the families of the North, [says] the Lord.  And [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, My servant, & will bring them against: this land, & [its] inhabitants.

And against all these nations [all around it,] & will [totally] destroy them, & make them an astonishment, [to be] [hissed] [at,] & [continually desolate.]

[Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you [who kill] the prophets, & stone [those who] are sent to [warn] you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen [gathers] her chickens under her wings, & you would not! [Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me [after this, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who comes] in the Name of the Lord.]

[Additionally,] I will take the [sound] of [happiness] from them, & the [voices] of gladness, the voice of: the bridegroom, & the bride, & the sound of the millstones [grinding,] & the light [from] the candle.

[Revelation 18:22-23 And the [sound] of: harpers, musicians, pipers, & trumpeters, shall no [longer] be heard in you, at all. And no craftsman, [of any type of] craft, shall be found in you, anymore. And the sound of a millstone [grinding,] shall no [longer] be heard in you, at all. And the light of a candle shall no [longer] shine in you, at all. And the [voices] of: the bridegroom, & the bride, shall no [longer] be heard in you, at all. For your merchants were the great men of the earth; [but] all nations were deceived, by your sorceries.]

And this whole land shall be a desolation, & an astonishment. And these nations shall serve [Babylon's] king 70 years. [Daniel 9:2 In the 1st year, [Darius ruled,] I, Daniel, understood the number of years by [the] books, [of which] the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, [so] that he would accomplish 70 years in [Jerusalem's desolation.]

The Lord [says,] And it shall [happen,] when 70 years are [completed,] that I will punish [Babylon's] king, & that nation, & the land of the Chaldeans, for their [sinfulness,] & will make it perpetual desolations.

And I will bring all My Words upon that land, [that] I have [declared] against it, even all that Jeremiah [has] prophesied, that is written in this book, against all the nations. For many nations, & great kings shall also [make them their servants] to [be] [served by] them, & I will [repay] them according to their deeds. [Jeremiah 50:10-13 The Lord [says,] And Chaldea, [a.k.a. Babylon,] shall be [plunder.] All [who plunder] her, shall be satisfied, because: you were glad, & you rejoiced, O you destroyers of [My] heritage, [a.k.a. Israel,] because you [have] grown fat, [like] the heifer [in] grass, & bellow [like] bulls. Your mother shall be [very confused,] & she [who bore] you shall be ashamed. [Look,] the [furthest part,] of the nations shall be: a wilderness, a dry land, & a desert. It shall not be inhabited, because of the [fury] of the Lord, but it shall be [totally] desolate. Everyone, [who goes] by Babylon, shall be astonished, & hiss at all her plagues.]

And according to the works [made] [by] their own hands. [2 Kings 19:17-18 [It's] [true,] Lord, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations, & their lands. And have cast their gods into the fire. For they weren't gods, but the work of men's hands, wood & stone. Therefore, they have destroyed them.]

For the Lord God of Israel [says this] to me, Take the wine cup of this fury [from] My hand, & cause all the nations, to drink it, to whom I send you.  [Revelation 14:9-11 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image, & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink [from] the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, [a.k.a. not watered down,] into the cup of His indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice.] And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels, & in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment [ascends] up forever, & ever. And those, who worship the beast, & his image, & [whoever receives] the mark of his name, have no rest day nor night.]

And they shall drink, & be [shaken,] & mad, [a.k.a. insane,] because of the sword that I will send among them. [Deuteronomy 28:30-34 A nation [that] you [don't know,] [shall] eat up the fruit of your land, & all your [labors.] And you [shall] [continue to] be oppressed, & [always] crushed. So that, you [shall] be [driven] mad, [a.k.a. insane, by] the sight of your eyes, [that] you [shall] see.]

Then, I took the cup [from] the Lord's hand, to whom the Lord had sent me, & made all the nations drink. [That is,] Jerusalem, & [Judah's] cities, & [its:] kings, & princes, to make them a: [desolation; astonishment; [hissed] [at;] & a curse, [like] it is this day. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery, & [bloodshed] is [on] their hands, & they have committed adultery with their idols, & also have [made] their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them for [their idols.] [Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They  defiled My sanctuary [on] the same day, & have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day, into My sanctuary to [desecrate] it. And [look] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.]

And the king of Sheshach, shall drink after them: Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king; & his: princes; servants; & all his people: & all the [mixed] people: & all the kings of the land of: Uz; the Philistines; Ashkelon; Azzah; Ekron; & the [rest] of Ashdod;

[And] Edom; Moab; & the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon; & all the kings of: Tyrus; Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon;] & the kings of the [coastal] [islands, that] are beyond the sea; Dedan; Tema; & Buz; & all that are in the [furthest] corners.

And all the kings of: Arabia; & all the kings of: the [mixed] people [who] dwell in the desert. And all the kings of: Zimri; Elam; & the Medes. And all the kings of: the North; far & near, one with another, & all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the [surface] of the earth.  [Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into 3 parts. And the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon [was remembered] before God, to give to her the cup of wine of the fierceness of His [fury.]

Therefore, you [shall] say to them, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, [says this;] You, drink, & be [drunk,] & [hurl,] & fall, & no [longer] rise, because of the sword [that] I will send among you. [Isaiah 63:5-6 And I looked, & there was [no one] to help. And I wondered that there [were] none to uphold. Therefore, [My] Own arm brought Salvation to Me; & My fury, upheld Me. And I will [trample] down the people in [My] anger, & make them drunk in My fury, & I will bring down their strength to the [ground.]

And it shall [happen,] if they refuse to take the cup [from] your hand to drink, then, you [shall] say to them, The Lord of Hosts [says this;] You shall certainly drink. For, [look,] I begin to bring [calamity] on the city [that] is called by My Name, & should you [go totally] unpunished?

You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, [says] the Lord of Hosts. Therefore, you prophesy all these Words against them.

And say to them, The Lord shall roar from on high, & [speak with] His voice from His holy habitation. He shall roar mightily [from] His habitation. He shall shout, against all the [earth's] inhabitants, [like those who trample] the grapes.

[Revelation 9:20-21 And the rest of the men, [who] weren't killed by these plagues, [still didn't repent, for] the works [made] [by] their hands, [so] that they shouldn't worship [demons,] & idols of: gold, silver, brass, stone, & wood, [that] can neither: see, hear, nor walk. Neither [did] they [repent] of their: murders, sorceries, fornication, nor of their thefts.]

A noise shall come, even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the nations, & He will plead with all flesh, [a.k.a. humans.] He will give [those who] are wicked, to the sword, [says] the Lord.

[Revelation 22:12-15 *And, [watch,] I come quickly; & My reward is with Me, & shall be to give every man according [like] his work, [a.k.a. deeds.] I Am [the:] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life, & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters, & [whoever loves, & makes] [up] [lies.]

The Lord of Hosts [says this, Look, disaster] shall go [out] from nation to nation, & a [large tornado] shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the [dead] of the Lord, shall be from one end of the earth, even to the other [on] that day. [Isaiah 66:15-16 For [watch,] the Lord will come with His chariots like a whirlwind, & with fire, to [deliver] His anger with fury, & His [correction] with flames of fire. For the Lord will plead with all flesh by His sword, & by fire. And many shall be the slain of the Lord.]

They shall not be [mourned,] neither gathered, nor buried. They shall be [manure] upon the ground. [Isaiah 34:2-3 For the [Lord's] indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice,] is upon all nations, & His fury [is] upon all their armies. He [has totally] destroyed them. He [has] delivered them to the slaughter. Also, their slain shall be cast out, & their stink shall come up out of their [corpses,] & the mountains shall be melted with their blood.]

Howl, & cry [out,] you shepherds, & wallow yourselves in the ashes, you [leaders] of the flock: for the days of your slaughter, & your [scattering] are accomplished. And you shall fall like a pleasant [clay vase shatters.] [Jeremiah 23:1-2 The Lord [says], Woe to the pastors, [a.k.a. shepherds, who] destroy, & scatter the sheep of My pasture! Therefore, the Lord God of Israel [says this,] against the pastors, [who] feed My people; You have scattered My flock, & have driven them away, & haven't visited them. [Watch,] I will visit, [a.k.a. punish,] you [for] the evil of your [actions, says] the Lord.]

And the shepherds, & the [leaders] of the flock, shall have no way to flee, & to escape. A voice of the [shepherd's] [out] cry, & the howling of the [leaders] of the flock, shall be heard, [because] the Lord [has plundered] their pasture.

[Jeremiah 23:11-14 For both the [prophets & priests] are profane. [Yes,] I have found their wickedness in My house, [says] the Lord. [For this reason,] their [road] shall be to them [like] slippery [roads] in the darkness. They shall be driven on, & fall [on them.] For I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, [a.k.a. punishment, says] the Lord. And I have seen [foolishness] in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied [about] Baal, & caused My people, Israel, to [go astray.]

I have also seen [a] horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem. They commit adultery, & walk, [a.k.a. follow,] [what are:] lies. They also strengthen the hands of [those who] [do evil, so] that none [returns] from his wickedness. They are, all of them to Me [like] Sodom, & the [residents of it like] Gomorrah.]

And the [peaceful] habitations are cut down, because of the [Lord's] fierce anger. He [has abandoned] His [shelter, like] the lion. For because of the fierceness of the oppressor, their land is desolate, & because of His fierce anger.

[Ezekiel 34:9-13 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the Word of the Lord. The Lord God [says this; Watch,] I am against the shepherds. And I will [hold them responsible for] My flock, [that's] [under] their hand, [a.k.a. control,] & cause them to [stop] from feeding the flock. Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore. For I will deliver My flock from their mouth, [so] that they may not be meat for the [shepherds.] For the Lord God [says this; Look,] I, even I, will both search [for] My sheep, & seek them out. [Like] a shepherd [seeks] out his flock, [on] the day that he is among his sheep, [who] are scattered.

[This way,] I will seek out My sheep, & will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered [on] the cloudy, & dark day. And I will bring them out, from the people, & gather them from the countries, & will bring them to their own land, & feed them by the rivers, upon the mountains of Israel, & in all the inhabited places of the country.]

Jeremiah 24:1-10 The 2 Baskets of Figs

The 2 Baskets of Figs

Jeremiah 24:1-10                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [showed] me, & [I] [saw,] 2 baskets of figs were [put in front of] the [Lord's] temple, after Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, had carried Jeconiah, [Jehoiakim's] son, [Judah's] king, away captive, & the princes of Judah, with the carpenters, & [blacksmiths,] from Jerusalem, & brought them to Babylon.

One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe. And the other basket had very [bad] figs, which couldn't be eaten, they were so [rotten.] [Isaiah 5:5-7 And now [come, too;] & I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard. I will take away [its] hedge, & break down [its] wall. And it shall be eaten up, & it shall be [trampled] down. And I will lay it [to] waste, & it shall not be pruned, nor [dug,] but thorns, & [sticker bushes] shall come up there. I will also command the clouds that they [don't] rain upon it. For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel, & the men of Judah, [are] His pleasant plant. And He looked for judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] but [only] [saw] oppression, & [He looked] for righteousness, but [only heard] an [out] cry.]

Then, the Lord said to me, What [do] you [see,] Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs [are] very good. And the [bad] figs, [are] very [bad,] that can't be eaten, they are so [rotten.]

Again, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel [says, this;] Like these good figs, I will [also] acknowledge [those who] are carried away captive [from] Judah, whom I have sent out of this place, into the land of the Chaldeans, for their [safety.]

For I will set [My] eyes upon them for [their own] good, & I will bring them again to this land. And I will build them [up,] & not pull them down. And I will plant them, & not [pull] them up.

[Ezekiel 28:25-26 The Lord God [says this,] When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people, among whom they are scattered, & shall be sanctified [by] them, in the sight of the heathen, then they shall dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] And they shall dwell safely [there,] & shall build houses, & plant vineyards. [Yes,] they shall dwell with confidence, when I have [carried out] judgments upon all those [all around] them, [who despised] them. And they shall know that I Am the Lord their God.]

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. [1 Samuel 7:4 Then, the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, did put away Baalim, [a.k.a. Baal,] & Ashtaroth, & only served the Lord.]

The Lord [says this,] And [like] the [bad] figs, [that] can't be eaten, [because] they are so [rotten,] surely, I will [also] give Zedekiah, [Judah's] king, & his princes, & the [rest] of Jerusalem, [who] remain in this land, & [those who] dwell in the land of Egypt, & I will deliver them [up, in order:] to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their [harm,] to be a [disgrace,] proverb, [a.k.a. song of taunting,] & a curse, in all places [where] I shall drive them.

[2 Chronicles 36:11-16 Zedekiah was 21 years old when he began to [rule,] & he [ruled] 11 years in Jerusalem. And he did [what] was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, & [didn't humble] himself before Jeremiah, the prophet, [who] [spoke] from the mouth of the Lord. And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made [Zedekiah] swear by God: but he [stubbornly] stiffened his neck, & hardened his heart from turning to the Lord God of Israel.

[Additionally,] all the chief priests, & the people [sinned] very much, [according to] all the abominations of the heathen, & polluted, [a.k.a. defiled,] the house of the Lord, [that] He had hallowed in Jerusalem. And the Lord God of their [forefathers,] [had] sent His messengers to them, rising up early, [beforehand to warn them,] & [sent] [them,] because He had compassion on His people, & on His dwelling place. But they mocked [God's] messengers, & despised His Words, & misused His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, until there was no remedy.]

And I will send the sword, famine, & pestilence, among them, [until] they [are] consumed, [a.k.a. devoured,] from off the land that I gave to them, & to their [forefathers.]

Jeremiah 23:1-40 Those Who Have Scattered the Lord's Flock

Those Who Have Scattered the Lord's Flock

Jeremiah 23:1-40                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [says,] Woe to the pastors, [a.k.a. shepherds, who] destroy, & scatter the sheep of My pasture! Therefore, the Lord God of Israel [says this] against the pastors, [who] feed My people. You have scattered My flock, & driven them away, & haven't visited them.

[Watch,] I will visit, [a.k.a. punish,] the evil of your [actions,] upon you, [says] the Lord. And I will gather [those remaining] of My flock out of all [the] countries, [where] I have driven them, & will bring them [back] again to their [sheep pens,] & they shall be fruitful, & increase.

And I will set up shepherds over them, [who] shall feed them. And they shall no [longer] fear, nor [shall they] be [discouraged.] Neither shall they [lack] [what's needed,] [says] the Lord. [Jeremiah 3:15 I will give you pastors according to [My] heart, [who] shall feed you with knowledge, & understanding.]

*[Watch,] the days come, [says] the Lord, that I will raise to David a Righteous Branch. And a King shall [rule,] & prosper, & shall [carry out] Judgment, Justice [on] the earth. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify these things to you in the churches. I Am the Root, & the offspring, [a.k.a. from the lineage,] of David, & the Bright & Morning Star. And the [Holy] Spirit, & the bride say, Come. And let him, [who hears] say, Come. And let him, [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever] [is] [willing,] let him freely take the Water of Life.]

*[During] His days, Judah shall be saved, & Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His Name [by which] He shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. [Isaiah 11:1-4 *And a Rod shall come forth there, out of the stem of Jesse, & a Branch shall grow out of his roots, [a.k.a. lineage.] *And the [Holy] Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of: wisdom, & understanding; the spirit of: counsel, & [strength;] the spirit of: knowledge, & the fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of the Lord, & shall make Him of [immediate] understanding in the fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of the Lord.

And He shall not judge, [according] [to what] His eyes [see,] & neither [chastise according] [to what] His ears [hear.] But He shall judge the poor with Righteousness, & will [repay] the meek, [a.k.a. humble,] of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod of His mouth, & He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.]

The Lord [says,] Therefore, [watch,] the days [come,] that they shall no [longer] say, The Lord [Lives, Who] brought up the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord [Lives, Who] brought up, & [Who] led the seed, [a.k.a. descendants from] the house of Israel, out of the North country, & from all [the] countries [where] I had driven them; & they shall dwell in their own land.

[My] heart is broken within me, because of the prophets. All my bones shake like I am a [drunk] man, & like a man [who has] [been] overcome [by] wine, because of the Lord, & because of the Words of His Holiness. [Jeremiah 1:16 And I will [express] My judgments against them, [about] all their wickedness, who have [abandoned] Me, & have burned incense to other gods, & worshiped the works [made] [from] their own hands.]

For the land is full of adulterers. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery, & [bloodshed] is [on] their hands, & they have committed adultery with their idols, & also have [made] their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them for [their idols.] [Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They  defiled My sanctuary [on] the same day, & have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day, into My sanctuary to [desecrate] it. And [look] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.]

The land [mourns,] because of [the] swearing. And the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, & their [path] is evil, & their [forcefulness] isn't right. For both [prophets, & priests] are profane. [Yes,] I have found their wickedness in My house, [says] the Lord.

[Jeremiah 7:30-31 For the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Judah have done [what is:] evil in My sight, [says] the Lord. They have [put] their abominations in the house, [that] is called by My Name, to [defile] it. And they have built the high places of Tophet, [that] is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their: sons & daughters in the fire, [that] I [didn't command] them, & neither [did] it [come] into My heart.]

[For this reason,] their [road] shall be [like] slippery [roads] to them in the darkness. They shall be driven on, & fall [on them.] For I will bring [calamity] upon them, even the year of their visitation, [a.k.a. punishment, says] the Lord. [Isaiah 51:22-23 The Lord, your: Lord, & God [Who pleads] the [case] of His people, [says this, Look,] I have [removed from] your hand, the cup of trembling, even the dregs, [a.k.a. what's remaining, from] the cup of My fury, & you [shall] no [longer] drink it again. But I will put it into the hand of [those who] afflict you: [who] have said to your soul, [Bend] down [flat,] [so] that we may go over [you,] & you [have] laid your body [down] [like] the ground, & [like] the street, to [those who] went over [you.]

And I have seen folly, [a.k.a. a lack of good judgment,] in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied [about] Baal, & caused My people, Israel, to [go astray.] [Jeremiah 2:8 The priest's [didn't say,] Where is the Lord? And [those who] handle [the matters of] the Law, [didn't know] Me. The pastors also [sinned] against Me, & the prophets prophesied by Baal, & walked, [a.k.a. followed,] after things that [aren't beneficial.]

I have also seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem. They commit adultery, & walk, [a.k.a. follow,] in [what are:] lies. They also strengthen the hands of [those who] [do evil, so] that none [returns] from his wickedness. They are all of them to Me [like] Sodom, & [Jerusalem's] inhabitants [are] [like] Gomorrah. [Jeremiah 14:15 Therefore, the Lord [says this, about] the prophets, [who] prophesy in My Name, & I [didn't send] them. [Still,] they say, Sword, & famine shall not be in this land. Those prophets shall be consumed by [the] sword, & famine.]

Therefore, the Lord of Hosts [says this about] the prophets: [Look,] I will feed them with wormwood, & make them drink the [bitter] water of gall. For profaneness from the prophets of Jerusalem, [has] gone [out] into all the land. [Deuteronomy 29:17-18 And you have seen their abominations, & their idols, [made of:] wood, stone, silver, & gold, [that] were among them. Lest there should be [a:] man, woman, family, or tribe, among you whose heart [turns] away, [a.k.a. goes astray,] this day, from the Lord our God, to go, & serve the gods of these nations. Lest there should be a root that [bears, a.k.a. produces,] gall, & wormwood among you.]

The Lord of Hosts [says this, Don't pay attention] to the words of the prophets, [who] prophesy to you. They make you vain, & they speak a vision [from] their own heart, & not out of the mouth of the Lord.

They still say to [those who] despise Me, The Lord [has] said, You shall have peace; & they say to everyone [follows] after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall [happen] to you. [Jeremiah 5:11-14 For the house of Israel, & the house of Judah have [behaved] very treacherously against Me, [says] the Lord. They have [given a false impression,] [against] the Lord, & said, Isn't it He, [but the Lord God did not say:] neither shall [disaster] come upon us. Neither shall we see [swords,] nor famine. And the [Lord's] Word isn't in them, & [this] shall be done to them, & the [false] prophets shall become [like:] wind [that disappears.] For this reason, the Lord God of Hosts, [says this,] Because you [say] this word, [watch,] I will make My words fire in your mouth, & this people: wood. And it shall devour them.]

For who [has] stood in the counsel of the Lord, & [has] heard, & [understood] His Word? Who [has written] His Word, & heard it? [Look,] a whirlwind [from] the Lord [has] gone [out] in [a] fury, even a grievous whirlwind. It shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

[Jeremiah 27:8-11 And it shall [happen] that nation, & kingdom [that won't] serve Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king, I will punish that nation with the: sword, famine, & pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand, [says] the Lord. Therefore, [don't pay attention] to your: prophets, diviners, dreamers, enchanters, & sorcerers, [who] speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon. For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, [so] that I [would] drive you out, & you should perish. But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of [Babylon's] king, & serve him, I will still let those remain in their own land, & they shall till it, & [live] in it, [says] the Lord.]

The anger of the Lord shall not return, until: He [has carried out,] & He [has accomplished] the thoughts of His heart. In the [later] days, you shall consider it [flawlessly.]

[Jeremiah 7:17-18 [Don't] you [see] what they do in the cities of Judah, & in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, & the fathers [start] the fire, & the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, & to pour out drink offerings to other gods, [so] that they may provoke Me to anger.]

I haven't sent these prophets, & [still,] they ran [to you as if I had.] I haven't spoken to them, & [still,] they prophesied. [Jeremiah 14:14 Then, the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in My Name, & I [didn't send] them, & neither have I commanded them. Neither [have I] [spoken] to them. They prophesy a false vision to you, & divination, & a [useless] thing, & the deceit of their heart.]

But if they stood in My counsel, & had caused My people to hear My Words, then they [would] have [returned] them from their evil [ways, & evil actions.] [Luke 15:6-7 And when he [comes] home, he [calls] together his friends & [neighbors,] saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep, which was lost. I say to you, that [similar] joy shall be in heaven over one sinner, [who repents,] more than over 99 just [people, who] need no repentance.]

The Lord [says,] Am I a God [close] at hand, & not a God [far away?] The Lord [says,] Can any hide himself in secret [places] that I shall not see him? The Lord [says,] Don't I fill heaven & earth? [Isaiah 55:6-7 You seek the Lord while He may be found, & you, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked [abandon] his [ways,] & the unrighteous man [abandon] his thoughts. And let him return to the Lord, & He will have mercy upon him, & [return] to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.]

I have heard what the prophets said, [who] prophesy lies in My Name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets, [who] prophesy lies? [Yes,] they are prophets [with] the deceit of their own [hearts.] [Who] think to cause My people to forget My Name, [through] their dreams, [that] every man [tells] to his [neighbor.]

[Like] their [forefathers] have forgotten My Name, [instead] for Baal. [Judges 3:5-7 And the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel [lived] among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, & Jebusites. And they took their daughters to be their wives, & gave their daughters to their sons, & served their gods. And the [people] of Israel did [what is:] evil in the sight of the Lord, & [forgot] the Lord their God, & served Baalim, & the groves.]

The prophet [who has] a dream, let him tell [the] dream. And he, [who has] My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully. The Lord [says,] What is the [hull covering of the] chaff, to the wheat? The Lord [says,] Isn't My Word [like] a fire? And like a hammer that [breaks] the rock in pieces?

[John 15:5-6 I Am the Vine, & you are the branches. He, [who abides, a.k.a. remains,] in Me, & I in him, the same [produces] much fruit. For you can do nothing without Me. If a man [doesn't remain] in Me, he is cast [out, like] a branch, & is withered. And men gather them, & cast them into the fire, & they are burned.]

Therefore, [look,] I Am against the prophets, & everyone [who steals] My Words from his neighbor, [says] the Lord. [Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet, [who] shall presume to speak a word in My Name, [that] I haven't commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.]

The Lord [says, Look,] I am against the prophets, [who] use their tongues, [a.k.a. mouths,] & say, [God says] [this.] The Lord [says, Look,] I'm against [those who] prophesy false dreams, & [tells] them, & [causes] My people to err, [a.k.a. go astray,] by their lies, & by their [indifference.] [Still,] I [didn't send] them, nor commanded them.

[Jeremiah 28:8-9 The prophets of old, [who] have been [prior to:] me, & you,  prophesied both against many: countries, & great kingdoms, [to warn them] [about:] war, evil, [a.k.a. calamity,] & pestilence. When the word of the prophet, [who] prophesied [about] peace shall [happen,] then [it] shall be known, that the Lord [has] truly sent him the prophet.]

Therefore, they shall not [benefit] this people at all, [says] the Lord.                    [2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful works, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel, [a.k.a. no wonder,] for Satan, himself, is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it's no great thing, if [Satan's] ministers also [are] transformed [like] the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works, [a.k.a. deeds.]

And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden, [a.k.a. vision] of the Lord? Then, you [shall] say to them, What [vision?] I will even [abandon] you, [says] the Lord. And as for the prophet, the priest, & the people, [who] shall say, The [vision] of the Lord [is this,] I will even punish that man, & his house.

[isaiah 30:8-10 Now, go, & write it [in front of] them in a [tablet,] & note it in a book, [so] that it may be for the time to come, forever, & ever: That this is a rebellious people, lying children, & children, [who] won't hear the [Lord's] Law. [Who] say to the seer, [Don't] see, & to the prophets, [Don't] prophesy [correct] things to us. Speak [pleasant] things to us, & prophesy [what is:] [deceitful.]

Everyone [of] you shall say [this:] to his [neighbor,] & his brother, What [has] the Lord answered? And, What [has] the Lord spoken? You shall no [longer] mention the [vision] of the Lord, for every man's word, shall be his [vision.] For you have [twisted] the Words of the Living God, of the Lord of Hosts our God. [Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, [who] come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly, they are [ravenous] wolves.]

You [shall] say [this] to the prophet, What [has] the Lord answered you? And, What [has] the Lord spoken? But since you say, The [vision] of the Lord, Therefore, the Lord [says []this;] Because you say this word, The [vision] of the Lord, & I have sent to you, saying, You shall not say, The [vision] of the Lord.

Therefore, [look,] I, even I, will [totally] forget you, & I will [abandon] you, & the city that I gave you, & your [forefathers,] & cast you out of My presence. And I will bring [eternal disgrace.] & [continual] shame, upon you, [that] shall not be forgotten.

[Micah 3:5-7 The Lord [says this about:] the prophets [who] make My people err, [a.k.a. go astray, & who] bite with their teeth, & cry [out,] Peace, & [God hasn't] put that into their mouths. They even prepare war against Him.  Therefore, unto you, [at] night, you shall not have a vision, & it shall be dark to you, [so] that, you shall not: divine; & the sun shall go down over the prophets, & over them, the day shall be dark. Then, the seers shall be ashamed, & the diviners, [shall be:] confused. [Yes,] they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer [from] God.]
