Jeremiah 22:1-30 The New Heaven & A New Earth & No More Sorrow

 

The New Heaven & A New Earth & No More Sorrow

Jeremiah 22:1-30                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this;] Go down to the house of [Judah's] king & speak this Word, there & say, You, O king of Judah, [who] sits upon the throne of David &  your: servants & people, [who] enter in by these gates, Hear the Word of the Lord.

The Lord says [this;] You, [carry out] judgment & righteousness & deliver the [plundered] out of the hand of the oppressor. And [you] [don't] do [what is] wrong & [don't] do [any] violence to the stranger, fatherless & widow & neither shed [the] blood of the innocent in this place.

[Matthew 23:23 Woe to you, scribes, Pharisees & hypocrites! For you pay [the 10%] tithe of mint, anise & cumin & have [left out] the [more important] matters of the Law, [justice,] mercy & faith. These you [should] have done, [but don't] leave the other [things] undone.]

For if you indeed do this thing, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house: kings sitting upon the throne of David & he, his servants & his people riding in chariots & on horses. *But if you won't hear these Words, I, Myself, swear, says the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.

[Matthew 23:37-38 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you, [who] kill the prophets & stone [those who] are sent to 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, [from now on, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord.]

For the Lord says [this] to the king's house of Judah; You are Gilead to Me & the head of Lebanon. Yet, I surely will make you a wilderness & [uninhabited] cities. And I will prepare destroyers, everyone with his weapons against you. And they shall cut down your [best] cedars & [throw] them into the fire. [Jeremiah 21:14 But I will punish you according to the fruit [produced from] your [actions,] says the Lord.]

And many nations shall pass by this city & every man shall say to his neighbor, [Why] has the Lord done [this,] to this great city? Then, they shall answer, Because they have [abandoned] the Covenant [contract] of the Lord their God & worshiped other gods & served them.

[Don't] you weep for the dead, [nor mourn] him: but [severely] weep for him, [who] goes away & for he shall no [longer] return, nor see his native country. For the Lord says [this about] Shallum, [Josiah's] son, [Judah's] king, [who ruled] instead of Josiah, his father, [who] went out of this place.

He shall not return [there] anymore. But he shall die in the place [where] they have led him captive & shall no [longer] see this land. [Distress] to him, [who] builds his house [through what is unrighteous] & his [rooms] [by what is] wrong.

[Who] uses his neighbor's service, without wages & [doesn't pay] him for his work & says, I will build me a [big] house & large [rooms] & cuts [himself] out windows & [panels] it with cedar, painted with vermillion, [a.k.a. red.]

[Numbers 35:33 So, you shall not [defile] the land [in which] you are: for blood defiles the land. And the land can't be cleansed [from] the blood that is shed [in it,] but [only] by the blood of him, [who] shed it.]

Shall you [rule,] because you [enclose] yourself in cedar? Didn't your father eat, drink & [delivered] judgment & justice & then it was well with him? He judged the [case] of the poor & needy. Then it [went] well with him. The Lord said, [Didn't his actions show he knew] Me?

But your eyes & heart aren't [focused on Me,] but [are] for your [greed, shedding the] blood [of the] innocent, oppression & for violence & [doing] it. [Isaiah 5:13 Therefore, My people [have] gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge & their honorable men are [starving] & their multitude [are] dried up with thirst.]

Therefore, the Lord says [this about] Jehoiakim, [Josiah's] son, [Judah's] king; They shall not [mourn] for him, saying, Ah, my brother! Or, Ah sister! They shall not [grieve] for him, saying, Ah, lord! Or, Ah, his glory! He shall be buried with the burial of [a mule that pulls carts] & is [thrown out,] beyond [Jerusalem's] gates.

[Daniel 1:1-2 In the 3rd year Jehoiakim, [Judah's] king, [ruled,] Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king, came to Jerusalem & [attacked] it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, [Judah's] king into [Nebuchadnezzar's] hand, with part of the vessels [from] the house of God, [that] he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. And [Nebuchadnezzar] brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.]

Go up to Lebanon & cry [out] & lift up your voice in Bashan. And cry [out] from the passages, [a.k.a. Abarim,] for all your lovers are destroyed. [Jeremiah 11:11-13 Therefore, the Lord says [this, Look,] I will bring [calamity] upon [those, who] shall not be able to escape.

[Although] they cry [out] to Me, I won't [listen] to them. Then, the cities of Judah & [residents] of Jerusalem, shall go & cry [out] to the gods, to whom they offer incense. But they shall not save them, at all in their time of trouble.

O Judah, for your gods are according to the number of your cities. And you have [put] up altars, even altars to burn incense to Baal, according to the number of streets [in] Jerusalem.]

I [spoke] to you [during] your prosperity; but you said, I won't [listen.] That has been your [custom] from your youth, that you [don't] obey My voice. The wind shall eat up all your pastors & your lovers shall go into captivity. Then, you shall surely be ashamed & [confused] for all your wickedness.

[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 & driven them away & haven't visited them. [Watch,] I will visit upon you, [a.k.a. punish,] the evil of your [actions,] says the Lord.]

O [residents] of Lebanon, [who make] your nest in the cedars, how gracious your [pains] shall be when they come upon you, [like] the pain of a woman in [childbirth!] The Lord says, As I live, [if] Coniah, [Jehoiakim's] son, [Judah's] king, were the signet [ring] upon My right hand, I would [still] pluck you up [off of there.]

And I will [put] you into the hand of [those who] seek your life & into the hand of [those] whose face [causes you to be afraid,] even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king & into the hand of the Chadeans. And I will cast you & your mother, [who bore] you, out into another country, where you weren't born & you shall die there.

But to the land, [in which] they desire to return, they shall not return [there.] Is this man, Coniah [like] a despised broken idol? Is he a vessel, [in which there] is no pleasure? [For this reason, he & his [descendants] are cast into a land [that] they [don't] know. O earth, earth, earth, hear the Word of the Lord.

The Lord says [this,] You write: This [is a] childless man, [who] shall not prosper [during] his [life:] for no man of his [offspring] sitting on the throne of David & ruling in Judah, shall prosper any more.

Jeremiah 21:1-14 When King Zedekiah Sent Jeremiah to Pashur

 

When King Zedekiah Sent Jeremiah to Pashur

Jeremiah 21:1-14                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word [that] came from the Lord to Jeremiah, when king Zedekiah sent [Jeremiah] to Pashur, [Melchiah's] son & [to] Zephaniah, [Maaseiah's] son, the priest, saying, I pray [that] you [inquire] of the Lord for us.

For Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, makes war against us & [see] if the Lord will deal with us according to all His wondrous works, [so Nebuchadnezzar] may go [away] from us. [Psalm 105:39-42 He spread a cloud for a covering & fire to give light in the night.

The people asked & He brought quails & satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock & waters gushed out & they ran in the dry places like a river. For He remembered His Holy promise & Abraham, His servant.]

Then, Jeremiah said to them, You say [this] to Zedekiah. The Lord God of Israel says [this; Look,] I will [return] back the weapons of war that are in your hands, [with which] you fight against [Babylon's] king & the Chaldeans, [who attack] you [outside] the walls. And I will assemble them into the [middle] of this city.

[Ezekiel 23:38-39 That they have committed adultery & blood is [on] their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols & have also caused their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them, for [the idols.] [Additionally,] they have done this to Me & they have defiled My sanctuary [on] the same day & have profaned My Sabbaths.]

And I, Myself, will fight with an outstretched hand & a strong arm, even in anger, fury & great wrath, against you. [Isaiah 63:9-10 In all their [suffering,] He was afflicted & the Angel saved them [in] His presence.

In His love & in His pity, He redeemed them. And He [bore] them & carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled & [troubled] His Holy Spirit. Therefore, He was turned; to be their enemy & He fought against them.]

And I will [strike] the inhabitants of this city, both man & [animal] & they shall die of a [large] pestilence. The Lord says, And afterwards, I will deliver Zedekiah, [Judah's] king & his servants; the people & [those who remain] in the city from the pestilence, the sword & the famine, into [Nebuchadnezzar's] hand, [Babylon's] king & into the hand of their enemies, & [those who] seek their life.

And he shall [strike] them with the edge of the sword. He shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor mercy. And you shall say to this people, The Lord says [this; See,] I [put] before you: The Way of Life & The Way of Death. He who [remains] in this city, shall die by the sword, famine & pestilence.

But he, [who] goes out & [defects] to the Chaldeans, [who attack] you, shall live & his life shall be [like a prize,] to him. For I have set My face against this city for evil & not for good, says the Lord. It shall be given into the hand of [Babylon's] king & he shall burn it with fire.

And say [about] the house of [Judah's] king, You, [listen to] the Word of the Lord. The Lord says [this;] O house of David, [carry out] judgment in the morning & deliver him, [who] is [plundered] out of the hand of the oppressor, lest My fury [goes] out like fire & [burns so] that none can [put it out,] because of the evil of your [actions.]

[2 Kings 21:4-7 And he built altars in the [Lord's] house, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem, I will put My Name. And he built altars for the [stars & constellations] of heaven in the 2 [courtyards] of the [Lord's] house.

And he made his sons pass through the fire & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology & horoscopes,] used enchantments, dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking with the dead,] & wizards. He [brought about] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger.

And he [put] a [carved] image that he made, from the grove, into the house, of which the Lord said to David & Solomon, his son, In this house I will put My Name forever & in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.]

The Lord said, [Look,] O [inhabitants] of the valley & the rock of the plain, [who] say, Who shall come down against us?  Or who shall enter into our [dwellings?] [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 & [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.]

But I will punish you according to the fruit [produced from] your [actions,] says the Lord. [Revelation 22:12-13 And [watch,] I come quickly. And My reward is with Me & shall be to give [to] every man according [to] his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.]

And I will [start] a fire in the forest [of it] & it shall devour all things [around] it. [Isaiah 3:10-11 Say to the righteous, it shall [go] well with him. They shall eat the fruit [produced from] their [actions.] [Distress] to the wicked! It shall [go poorly for] him. For the reward of his hands shall be given [to] him.]

Jeremiah 20:1-18 Pashur has Put Jeremiah, the Prophet, into Stocks

 

Pashur has Put Jeremiah, the Prophet, into Stocks

Jeremiah 20:1-18                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Now, Pashur, [Immer's] son, the priest, who also was [in charge of] the [Lord's] house, heard that Jeremiah [had] prophesied these things. Then, Pashur [struck] Jeremiah, the prophet & put him in stocks that were in the High Gate of Benjamin, [near] the [Lord's] house.

And it [happened] on the [next day,] that Pashur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then, Jeremiah said to him, The Lord hasn't called your name Pashur, but Magor Missabib. For the Lord says [this, Look,] I will make you a terror to yourself & to all your friends.

And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies & your eyes shall [see] it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of [Babylon's] king, & he shall carry them captive into Babylon & shall [kill] them with the sword.

[Jeremiah 21:8-10 And you shall say to this people, The Lord says [this; Look] I will [present] before you the Way of Life & the Way of Death. He, [who remains] in this city, shall die by the sword, famine & pestilence.

But he [who] goes out & falls to the Chaldeans, [who attack] you, he shall live. And his life shall be [for a prize] to him. For I have set My face against this city for [calamity] & not for good, says the Lord. It shall be [turned over] into the hand of [Babylon's] king. And he shall burn it with fire.]

[Also,] I will deliver all the strength of this city & all [its] labors & [its] precious things & all the treasures of [Judah's] kings & I will give [them] into the hand of their enemies, [who] shall [plunder] them & take & carry them to Babylon.

[Jeremiah 19:12-13 The Lord says, I will do [this] to this place & to [its residents] & even make this city [like] Tophet, [a.k.a. Topheth.] And the houses of Jerusalem & [Judah's] kings, shall be defiled, [like] the place of Tophet, because of all the [rooftops] of the houses [on which] they have burned incense to all the [stars & constellations] of heaven & have poured out drink offerings to other gods.]

And you, Pashur, & all [who] dwell in your house shall go into captivity. And you shall come to Babylon & you shall die there & shall be buried there, you & all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies.

O Lord, You have deceived me & I was [persuaded.] You are stronger than I & have prevailed. I am [ridiculed] daily & everyone mocks me. For since I [spoke] & cried out, I cried [out about] violence & [plunder]; because the Word of the Lord was made a [disgrace] to me & [ridiculed] daily.

Then, I said, I won't make mention of Him, nor speak in His Name, any more. But His Word was in my heart [like] a burning fire, [closed] up [within] my bones. And I was [tired] of [holding it back] & I couldn't [cease.] For I heard the [slandering] of many [with] fear on every side.

They say, Report & we will report it. All my [acquaintances] watched for my [ceasing,] saying, [Perhaps,] he will be [persuaded] & we shall prevail against him & take our revenge on him. [Psalm 31:13 For I have heard the slander of many. Fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against Me & they [plotted] to take My life.]

But the Lord is with me [like] a [terribly awesome] Mighty One. Therefore, my persecutors shall stumble & they shall not prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper & their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

[Jeremiah 17:18 Let [those who] persecute me be [confused,] but [don't] let me be [ashamed.] Let them be dismayed, but don't let me be [discouraged.] Bring upon them the day of evil & destroy them with double destruction.]

But, O Lord of Hoses, [Who tests] the righteous & sees the [heart strings] & the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For I have opened my cause to You. [Jeremiah 15:15 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.]

Sing to the Lord & you, praise the Lord: for He has delivered the [life] of the poor from the hand of [those who do evil.] Cursed [is] the day [in which] I was born.

[Don't] let the day my mother [delivered] me, be blessed. Cursed [is] the man who brought [news] to my father, saying, A [male] child is born to you; making him very glad. And let that man be [like] the cities [that didn't repent,] which the Lord overthrew.

And let Him hear the [out] cry in the morning & the shouting at [noon.] Because He [didn't kill] me from the womb; or that my mother might have [miscarried] & her womb always be [large] with me & [would have] been my grave. [Is this the reason,] I came out of the womb, to see labor & sorrow, [so] that my days should be consumed with shame?

Jeremiah 19:1-15 The Warning to the Elders & the Broken Bottle

 

The Warning to the Elders & the Broken Bottle

Jeremiah 19:1-15                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this,] God & get the potter's earthen, [a.k.a. clay] bottle, [taken from the elders] of: the people & the priests. And go [out into] the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is by the [entrance] of the East Gate. And proclaim there the Words that I shall tell you.

[2 Kings 23:9-10 [However,] the priests of the high places [didn't] come up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat the unleavened bread among their brethren. And He defiled Topheth, [a.k.a. Tophet,] which is in the Valley of the Children of Hinnom, so that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire to Molech.]

And say, You, hear the Word of the Lord, O kings of Judah & [residents] of Jerusalem. The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this; Watch,] I will bring [a catastrophe] upon this place & the ears of [whoever] hears [it,] shall tingle.

[It's] because they have [abandoned] Me & have [made] this place [indifferent] & have burned incense in it to other gods, [that] neither they, their [forefathers,] nor the kings of Judah have known & have filled this place with the blood of [those who were innocent.]

[2 Kings 21:5-7 And he built altars for all the [stars & constellations] of heaven in the 2 [courtyards] of the [Lord's] house. And he made his son pass through the fire & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology or horoscopes,] used enchantments, dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking with the dead,] & wizards. He [brought about] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.]

Also, they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I [didn't command, nor [spoke] it. Neither [did it come] into My mind. The Lord says, Therefore, [look,] the days come, that this place shall no [longer] be called Tophet, nor The Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.

[Jeremiah 7:32-33 The Lord says, Therefore, [look,] the days come that it shall no [longer] be called Tophet, nor the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Tophet, [until] there [is] no place [remaining.] And the [corpses] of this people shall be meat for the [birds] of the [heavens] & for the [animals] of the earth & none shall [frighten] them away.]

And I will make the counsel of Judah & Jerusalem [useless] in this place. And I will cause them to fall by the sword, [in front of] their enemies & by the hands of [those who] seek their lives. And I will give their [corpses] to be meat for the [birds] of heaven & for the [animals] of the earth.

And I will make this city desolate & [to be hissed at.] Everyone, [who] passes [by there] shall be astonished & hiss because of all [its] plagues. [Exodus 9:14-15 For at this time, I will send all My plagues upon your heart & upon your servants & your people; [so] that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth. For now, I will stretch out My hand, [so] that I might [strike] you & your people with pestilence & you shall be cut off from the earth.]

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons & daughters. And everyone shall eat the flesh of his friend in the [battle & famine with which] their enemies & [those who] seek their lives, shall [starve] them. [Ezekiel 5:9-11 And I will do in you, [what] I haven't done & I won't do any more [similarly,] because of all your abominations.

Therefore, the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you & the sons will eat their fathers. And I will [deliver] judgments in you. And I will scatter into all the winds, [all] the [rest] of you.

The Lord God says; As I live, [for this reason,] because you surely defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things & all your abominations, therefore, I will also [reduce] you & neither shall My eyes spare, [nor] will I have any pity.]

Then, you shall break the [clay] bottle in the sight of the men [who] go with you. And [you] shall say to them, The Lord of Hosts says [this;] Even so, I will break this people & this city, [like someone] breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again.

And they shall bury them in Tophet, [until] there is no place to bury. [Revelation 2:27 *And He shall rule them with [an] iron rod, even [like] I have received [from] My Father & they shall be broken to [slivers, like clay] vessels of a potter.]

The Lord says [this,] I will do to this place & to [its residents] & even make this city [like] Tophet. And the houses of: Jerusalem & the kings of Judah, shall be defiled [like] the place of Tophet, because of all the [rooftops] of houses, upon [which] they have burned incense to all the [stars & constellations] of heaven & have poured out drink offerings to other gods.

Then, Jeremiah came from Tophet, [where] the Lord had sent him to prophesy. And [Jeremiah] stood in the the [courtyard] of the [Lord's] house & said to all the people, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this; Watch,] I will bring upon this city & upon all [its] towns, all the [doom] that I have pronounced against it, because they have [stubbornly, a.k.a. hardened their necks, so] that they might not hear My Words.

Jeremiah 35:1-19 Jeremiah Takes the Rechabites to the House of the Lord

 

Jeremiah Takes the Rechabites to the House of the Lord

Jeremiah 35:1-19                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word from the Lord, [that] came to Jeremiah, [during] the days of Jehoiakim, [Josiah's] son, [Judah's] king, saying, Go to the house of the Rechabites & speak to them & bring them into the house of the Lord & into 1 of the [rooms] & give them wine to drink.

Then, I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, [who was] [Habaziniah's] son, & his brethren & all his sons & the whole house of the Rechabites. And I brought them into the [Lord's] house, into the [room] of the sons of Hanan, [who was] [Igdaliah's] son, a man of God, which was [near] the [room] of the princes, [that] was above the [room] of Maaseiah, [Shallum's] son, the [doorkeeper.]

And I [put in front of] the sons of the [family] of Rechabites, pots full of wine & cups. And I said to them, You, drink the wine. But they said, We [won't] drink [any] wine: for Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, our [forefather] commanded us, saying, You shall [not] drink [any] wine, neither you, nor your sons forever.

Neither shall you build [a] house, nor sow seed, plant [a] vineyard, nor have  any [of these.] But all your days, you shall [live] in tents; [so] that you may live many days in the land where you [are] strangers.

[Like this,] we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, our [forefather,] in all that he has [commanded] us. We, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters drink [any] wine all our [lives.] Nor [do we] build houses for us to [live] in. Neither [do] we have: [vineyards, fields,] nor seed.

But we have dwelt in tents & have obeyed & done, according to all that Jonadab, our [forefather] commanded us. But it [happened,] when Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, came up into the land, that we said, Come & let us go to Jerusalem, for fear of the Chaldeans & [Syrian] army. So we dwell [in] Jerusalem.

Then, the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this;] Go & tell the men of Judah & the [residents] of Jerusalem, Won't you receive instruction & [pay attention] to My Words? says the Lord.

[Isaiah 29:12-13 And the book is delivered to him, [who] is [uneducated,] saying, I pray [that] you read this. And he says, I'm not [educated.] [For this reason,] the Lord said, [Since] this people draw [close] to Me with their [mouths] & honor Me with their lips, but had removed their heart far from Me & their fear [respect] toward Me is taught by the precept, [a.k.a. commandments] of men.]

The words of Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, [who] commanded his sons not to drink wine, are [carried out.] For [until] this day, none drink, but obey their father's [command. However,] I have spoken to you, rising early [to warn,] & speaking, but you [haven't paid attention] to Me.

I have also sent to you all My servants, the prophets, rising up early, [to warn,] & sending them, saying, Every man, return [yourselves] from your evil [ways & change] your [actions] & [don't] go after other gods, to serve them. And you shall dwell in the land, [that] I have given to you & to your [forefathers.] But you haven't [leaned] your ear, nor have you [listened] to Me.

[Jeremiah 18:11-12 Therefore, go now to speak to the men of Judah & to the [residents] of Jerusalem, saying, The Lord says [this; Look,] I [plan calamity] against you. Now, everyone return [yourselves] from his evil [ways] & make your ways & your [actions] good. And they said, There is no hope. But we will [follow] after our own [plots] & everyone will do the imagination of his evil heart.]

[Since,] the sons of Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, have [done] the [command] of their father, [that] he commanded them, but [these] people haven't [paid attention] to Me: therefore, the Lord God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this; Look,] I will bring upon Judah & the [residents] of Jerusalem all the [disaster,] that I have [declared] against them; because I have spoken to them, but they haven't heard & I have called to them, but they haven't answered.

And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this;] Because you have obeyed the [command] of Jonadab, your father, & have kept all his precepts, [a.k.a. commandments] & [have] done according to all that he has commanded you.

Therefore, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this;] Jonadab, [Rechab's] son, shall not [lack] a man to stand before Me forever.

[Revelation 7:15-16 Therefore, they are [in front of] the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall no [longer] hunger, [nor] thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [burn] them. ]
