Jeremiah 16:1-21 About the Sons & Daughters Born in This Place

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 a wife [for yourself,] & 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 begot, a.k.a. fathered,] them in this land. They shall die grievous deaths, & they shall not be [mourned.] Neither shall they be buried. But they shall be [manure,] 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] them.

For I have taken My peace, & even loving kindness, & mercies, away 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, themselves, [weep] 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: the [sound] of [happiness,] & gladness, & the [voices] of the bridegroom, & the bride, to cease out of this place, in [front of] 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 walked, [a.k.a. followed,] after other gods, & have: served, & [worshiped] them. And [they] have [abandoned] Me, & haven't kept My Law.

And you have done worse than your [forefathers;] for [look,] everyone [of] you [follows] after the imagination of his evil heart, [so] that they [don't pay attention] to Me. Therefore, I will cast you out of this land, into land that you, nor your [forefathers] know. And you shall serve other gods day & night there, where I won't [demonstrate partiality to] you.

The Lord [says,] Therefore, [watch,] the days come, that it shall no [longer] be said, The Lord [Lives, Who] brought up the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, out of the land of Egypt. But [it shall be said,] The Lord [Lives, Who] brought up the children, [a.k.a. 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 shall go out at the [breaks in the walls,] [will follow, like] every cow that is [in front of] her; & & you shall cast them into the palace [prison,] [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 filled [My] inheritance with the [carcasses] of their detestable, & abominable things.

[Habakkuk 2:18-19 What [benefit] [does] the maker [of] the [carved] image [have who carved] it, & [what benefit is] the [molded] image, & a teacher of lies, that [its] maker of his work [trusts in them,] 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 44:9-11 [Those who] make a [carved] image, all of them are vanity. They [don't] see, nor know, [so] that they may be ashamed. And their [delicacies are] not [beneficial.] Who [has] formed a god, or [molded] an [engraved] image that is [beneficial] for nothing? [Look,] all his [companions] shall be ashamed, & the workmen, are [only] men. Let them all be gathered together, & let them stand up. [Still,] they shall [be fearful,] & they shall be ashamed together.]

Shall a man make gods [for] himself, & they [aren't] gods?  [Psalm 115:4-9 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 feel.] They have feet, but they [can't] walk. Neither [do] they speak through their throat. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone, [who] trusts in them. O Israel, you trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield.]

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. [Isaiah 11:10-12 *And [on] that day, there shall be a Root of Jesse, which shall stand for a [sign] of the people; & the Gentiles shall seek it, & His rest shall be glorious. And it shall [happen on] that day, that the Lord shall [put] His hand, [in] again the 2nd time, to recover the [rest] of His people, [who] shall be left, from: Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, & from the islands of the sea. And He shall [put] up a [sign] for the nations, & shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, & gather the [scattered] of Judah, from the 4 corners of the earth.]
