Jeremiah 15:1-21 The Lord Will Deliver Those Who Return to Him, From the Hand of the Wicked

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 be toward, [a.k.a. in favor of,] this people. Cast them out of My sight, & let them go [forward.]

[Exodus 32:7-10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go, get [yourself] down; for your people, [who] you [brought] out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.They have turned [astray] quickly out of the [ways that] I have commanded them. They have made [themselves] a [molded] calf, & have worshiped it, & have 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, & [look,] it is a stiff-necked, [a.k.a. stubborn,] people. Therefore, now let Me alone, [so] that My wrath may [grow] hot against them, & that I may consume them. And I will make a great nation of you.]

And it shall [happen,] if they say to you, [Where] shall we go [forward?] Then, you [shall] tell them, The Lord [says this;] Such as are [determined] for death, [shall go] to death. Such as are [determined] for the sword, [shall go by] the sword. Such as are [determined] for the famine, [shall go by] famine. And such as are [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, [a.k.a. birds,] 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 21:2-7 And [Manasseh] did [what] was evil in the sight of the Lord, [according to] the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before, [a.k.a. prior to,] the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel. For [Manasseh] built up the high places again [that] Hezekiah, his father, had destroyed. And he [put] up altars for Baal, & made a grove, [like] king Ahab of Israel did, & worshiped all the host, [a.k.a. stars & constellations,] of heaven, & served them.]

And [Manasseh] built altars in the [Lord's] house, [about] which the Lord said, I will put My Name in Jerusalem. And [Manasseh] built altars for all the host of heaven in the 2 courts of the [Lord's] house. And [Manasseh] made his son pass through the fire, & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology, & horoscopes,] & used enchantments, [a.k.a. witchcraft,] & dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. those who contact the dead,] & wizards. Manasseh brought about] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. And [Manasseh put from] the grove, a [carved] image, that he had made, [into] the [Lord's] house, of which the Lord said to David, & to his son, Solomon, I will put My Name forever, in this house, & in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.]

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, [a.k.a withdrawing.] [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.]

And in the gates of the land, I will fan them with a [winnowing] fan, [that blows away the wheat hulls, like debris.] 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, who have [abandoned] Me, & have burned incense to other gods, & worshiped the works [made] [from] their own hands.]

Their widows [of] [My] [people,] [have] increased 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] upon them, against the mother of the young men, [at [noon.] I have caused him, & terrors to fall upon the city suddenly. She, [who has given birth to] 7, [who have died,] [becomes weak,] & she [has] given up the ghost, [a.k.a. died.]

Her sun [has] gone down, while it was [still] day. She [has] been ashamed, & [confused.] And I will deliver the [rest] of them to the sword [in front of] their enemies, [says] the Lord.

Woe is me, my mother, that you [have 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. [Psalm 35:19 *Don't let [those, who] are [My] enemies, wrongfully rejoice over Me; & neither let them wink [their] eye, [who] hate Me without a [reason.]

The Lord said, [Truly,] it shall [go] well with [those of] [you remaining.] [Truly,] I will cause the enemy to [treat] you well, in the time of [calamity,] & 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 shall 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 not [demonstrate favoritism to] you.]

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 [ate, a.k.a. digested,] them. [Jeremiah 1:9 Then, the Lord put [out] His hand, & touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, [Look,] I have put My Words in your mouth.]

And Your Word was the joy, & rejoicing of [my] heart, to me. For I am called by Your Name, O Lord God of Hosts.

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] you 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, [a.k.a. anger aroused by 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? [Psalm 38:3-5 There is no soundness in my flesh, because of Your anger; & neither is there any rest in my bones, because of my sin. For [my sinfulness has] gone over [my] head. [Like a] heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. My wounds stink, & are corrupt, [a.k.a. festering,] because of my foolishness.]

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] you return to them. [Isaiah 1:21-24 How [has] the faithful city become [like a] harlot! It was full of judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] & righteousness [stayed] in it; but now murderers. Your silver [has] become [scum,] & your wine [is] mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious, & companions 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, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, [says,] Ah, I will ease [Myself] of [My] adversaries, & avenge [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, [a.k.a. ruthless ones.]

[Isaiah 41:10-13 [Don't] you fear; for I Am with you. [Don't] be dismayed, [a.k.a. discouraged,] for I Am your God. I will strengthen you; & [yes,] I will help you. [Yes,] with the right hand of My Righteousness, I will uphold, [a.k.a. support,] you.] [Watch,] all [those, who] were [outraged] 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.]
