Jeremiah
Chapter
32
1
The word came to Jeremiah
from
Jehovah/God,
in
the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah,
which
was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem.
And
Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison,
which
was in the king of Judah's house.
3
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying,
"Why
do you prophesy, and say,
'Thus
said Jehovah/God,
Behold,
I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon,
and
he shall take it. 4
And
Zedekiah, king of Judah,
shall
not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans,
but
shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon,
and
shall speak with him mouth to mouth,
and
his eyes shall behold his eyes. 5
And
he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon,
and
there shall he be until I visit him,'
said
Jehovah/God.
Though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper."
6
And Jeremiah said,
"The
word of Jehovah/God came unto me, saying, 7
"Behold,
Hanameel, the son of Shallum, your uncle
shall
come unto you, saying,
'Buy
you my field that is in Anathoth.
For the right of redemption is yours to buy it."
8
So Hanameel, my uncle's son, came to me
in
the court of the prison
according
to the word of Jehovah/God,
and
said unto me,
"Buy
my field, I pray you,
that
is in Anathoth,
which
is in the country of Benjamin . . .
for
the right of inheritance is your,
and
the redemption is yours . . . buy it for yourself.
Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah/God.
9
And I bought the field of Hanameel, my uncle's son,
that
was in Anathoth,
and
weighed him the money,
even
seventeen shekels of silver.
10
And I subscribed the evidence,
and
sealed it, and took witnesses,
and
weighed him the money in the balances.
11
So I took the evidence of the purchase,
both
that which was sealed according to the law and custom,
and
that which was open.
12
And I gave the evidence of the purchase
unto
Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,
in
the sight of Hanameel my uncle's son,
and
in the presence of the witnesses
that
subscribed the book of the purchase,
before
all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
13
And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
14
Thus said Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
the
'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
"Take
these evidences,
this
evidence of the purchase,
both
which is sealed,
and
this evidence which is open
and
put them in an earthen vessel,
that
they may continue many days."
15
For thus said Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
the
'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
"Houses
and fields and vineyards
shall
be possessed again in this land.
16
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase
unto
Baruch the son of Neriah,
I
prayed unto Jehovah/God, saying, 17``
"O
Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah!
Behold,
You have made the heaven and the earth
by
Your great power
and
stretched out arm,
and
there is nothing too hard for You. 18
You
showed grace/lovingkindness unto thousands,
and
recompensed the iniquity of the fathers
into
the bosom of their children after them.
The
Great . . . the Mighty 'El/God . . .
Jehovah/God
of the armies/hosts is His Name, 19
Great
in counsel,
and
mighty in work . . .
for
Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men . . .
to
give every one according to his ways,
and
according to the production/fruit of his doings . . .20
Who
has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
even
unto this day, and in Israel,
and
among other men
and
have made You a name, as at this day; 21
and
have brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt
with
signs,
and
with wonders,
and
with a strong hand,
and
with a stretched out arm,
and
with great terror; 22
and
have given them this land,
which
You did swear to their fathers to give them,
a
land flowing with milk and honey
{idiom for fertile and productive farm land}. 23
And they came in, and possessed it.
But
they obeyed not Your voice
{negative to the teaching of the Word}.
Neither
Walked in Your law.
{if you do not know the law, you can not follow it -
so ignorance and or overt disobedience here}
They have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do.
Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
{5th
cycle of discipline}
24
Behold the mounts,
they
are come unto the city to take it.
And
the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
who
fight against it,
because
of the sword,
and
of the famine,
and
of the pestilence . . .
and
what You have spoken is come to pass.
And, behold, You see it.
25``
And you have said unto me, O Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"Buy
you the field for money, and take witnesses . . .
for
the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."
26
Then came the word of Jehovah/God unto Jeremiah, saying, 27
"Behold,
I am Jehovah/God, the 'Elohiym/Godhead of all flesh . . .
is
there any thing too hard for Me?
28
Therefore thus said Jehovah/God,
"Behold,
I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans,
and
into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
and
he shall take it. 29
And
the Chaldeans, who fight against this city,
shall
come and set fire on this city,
and
burn it with the houses,
upon
whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal
and
poured out drink offerings unto other 'elohiym/gods . . .
to
provoke Me to anger.
30
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah
have
only done evil before Me from their youth.
For
the children of Israel have only provoked Me to anger
with
the work of their hands," said Jehovah/God.
31
For this city has been to Me
as
a provocation of My anger
and
of My fury
from
the day that they built it . . .
even
unto this day . . .
that
I should remove it
from
before My face,
32
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel
and
of the children of Judah,
which
they have done to provoke Me to anger,
they,
their kings, their princes, their priests,
and
their prophets,
and
the men of Judah,
and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33
And they have turned their back on Me,
and
not the face.
Though
I taught them, rising up early and teaching them,
yet
they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34
But they set their abominations in the house,
which
is called by My name, to defile it.
35
And they built the high places of Baal,
which
are in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
to
cause their sons and their daughters
to
pass through the fire unto Molech
{human sacrifice of their own children while they had sex in the
Phallic Cult}
which
I commanded them not,
neither
came it into My mind,
that
they should do this abomination . . .
to
cause Judah to sin.
36
And now therefore thus said Jehovah/God,
the
'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
concerning
this city,
why
do you say,
"It
shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon
by
the sword,
and
by the famine,
and
by the pestilence?"
37
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries,
where
I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury,
and
in great wrath.
And
I will bring them again unto this place,
and
I will cause them to dwell safely.
38 And they shall be My people, and I will be their 'Elohiym/Godhead.
39
And I will give them one 'right lobe'/heart
{referring to Divine Viewpoint in the norms and standards of their
souls},
and
one Way
{to apply that divine viewpoint to your daily life - live the
Righteous Way of God},
that
they may fear/respect Me forever . . .
for
the good of them . . .
and
of their children after them.
40
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them,
that
I will not turn away from them, to do them good.
But
I will put My awe/respect/fear in their 'right lobes'/hearts . . .
that
they shall not depart from Me.
{this is the carrot and the stick. They will see what happens when
they leave God and His Word and turn to Baal or other gods -
their punishment will be so severe, they will want to walk
in the Righteous Way of God - those who survive anyway - a
pruning of the Olive Tree}
41
Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good,
and
I will plant them in this land assuredly
with
My whole 'right lobe'/heart
and
with My whole soul.
42
For thus said Jehovah/God,
"Like
as I have brought all this great evil upon this people,
so
will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
43
And fields shall be bought in this land,
why
do you say,
'It
is desolate . . . without man or animal . . .
it
is given into the hand of the Chaldeans?'
44
Men shall buy fields for money,
and
subscribe evidences, and seal them,
and
take witnesses in the land of Benjamin,
and
in the places about Jerusalem,
and
in the cities of Judah,
and
in the cities of the mountains,
and
in the cities of the valley,
and
in the cities of the south . . .
for
I will cause their return from captivity," said Jehovah/God.
