    1) Jeremiah 41,42,43,44,45

    Jeremiah 41
    1 (Jer 40:8; Ps 41:9) In the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah,
    the son of Elishama of the royal seed, and the officials of the king,
    even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah.
    While they were eating bread together in Mizpah,
    2 (2Ki 25:25; Jer 40:5) Ishmael the son of Nethaniah
    and the ten men that were with him arose and struck Gedaliah
    the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan with the sword and slew him,
    whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
    3I shmael also slew all the Jews who were with him,
    even with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there,
    and the men of war.
    4 On the day after he had slain Gedaliah, when no one knew it,
    5 (Dt 14:1; Jos 18:1) eighty men came from Shechem, from Shiloh,
    and from Samaria, having their beards shaven, and their clothes torn,
    and their bodies gashed, with offerings and incense in their hands
    to bring them to the house of the Lord.
    6 (2Sa 3:16; Jer 50:4) Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out
    from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went. As he met them,
    he said to them, "Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!"
    7 (Ps 55:23; Isa 59:7) Yet it was so when they came into the midst
    of the city that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, he and the men who were
    with him, slew them and cast them into the midst of the cistern.
    8 But ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, "Do not slay us,
    for we have stores in the field, of wheat and barley, and of oil and honey."
    So he refrained and did not slay them among their brothers.
    9 (Jdg 6:2; 1Sa 13:6) Now the cistern in which Ishmael had cast
    all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah,
    was what Asa the king had made because of Baasha the king of Israel.
    And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were slain.
    10 (Jer 40:14; 40:7) Then Ishmael carried away captive all the rest
    of the people who were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters,
    and all the people who remained in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan
    the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
    And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive,
    and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
    11 (Jer 40:7-8; 40:13-16) But when Johanan the son of Kareah
    and all the captains of the forces that were with him heard of all
    the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
    12 (2Sa 2:13; Ge 14:14-16) then they took all the men
    and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him
    by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
    13 And when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan
    the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were with him,
    they were glad.
    14 So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah
    turned about and returned, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
    15 (Job 21:30; Pr 28:17) But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped
    from Johanan with eight men and went to the Ammonites.
    16 (Jer 42:8; 43:4-7) Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains
    of the forces that were with him took all the remnant of the people
    whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah,
    after he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war,
    and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back
    from Gibeon.
    17 (2Sa 19:37-38; Jer 42:14) And they departed and lived in the habitation
    of Geruth Kimham, which is by Bethlehem, intending to go to Egypt,
    18 (Jer 40:5; 42:16) because of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,
    whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.

    Jeremiah 41
    [1] Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of
    Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the
    king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
    [2] Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
    [3] Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah,
    at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.
    [4] And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no
    man knew it,
    [5] That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria,
    even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring
    them to the house of the LORD.
    [6] And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said
    unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
    [7] And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael
    the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
    [8] But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not:
    for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and
    of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
    [9] Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men,
    whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made
    for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled
    it with them that were slain.
    [10] Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that
    were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained
    in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to
    Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them
    away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
    [11] But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah
    had done,
    [12] Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
    [13] Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael
    saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
    [14] So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah
    cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
    [15] But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men,
    and went to the Ammonites.
    [16] Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah
    the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children,
    and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
    [17] And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
    [18] Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.

    Jeremiah 42

    Jeremiah Warns Against Going to Egypt

    1 (Jer 6:13; 40:13) Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son
    of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from
    the least even to the greatest came near,
    2 (Lev 26:22; Jer 36:7) and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our supplication be accepted before you, and pray for us to the Lord your God,
    even for all this remnant. For we are left but a few out of many, as your
    eyes now see us.
    3 (Ps 86:11; Pr 3:6) Pray that the Lord your God may show us the way
    in which we should walk and the thing that we should do."
    4 (Ex 8:29; 1Sa 3:17-18) Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them,
    "I have heard you. I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words. And it shall come to pass, that whatever the Lord will answer you,
    I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you."
    5 (Ge 31:50; Jdg 11:10) Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the Lord be a true
    and faithful witness against us, if we do not act according to all things
    for which the Lord your God shall send you to us.
    6 (Jer 7:23; Dt 5:29) Whether it is good or whether it is bad, we will
    obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you so that it may
    be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God."
    7 (Ps 27:14) At the end of ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
    8 (Jer 42:1) Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains
    of the forces that were with him and all the people from the least even
    to the greatest,
    9 (2Ki 19:4; 19:6) and said to them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel,
    to whom you sent me to present your supplication before Him:
    10 (Jer 24:6; 31:28) If you will still abide in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up;
    for I will relent of the disaster that I have brought on you.
    11 (Ro 8:31; Isa 43:5) Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon of whom
    you are now afraid. Do not be afraid of him, says the Lord. For I am with
    you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.
    12 (Ne 1:11; Ps 106:45-46) I will show mercies to you so that he may have
    mercy on you and cause you to return to your own land.
    13 (Jer 44:16; Ex 5:2) "But if you say, 'We will not dwell in this land,'
    so as not to obey the voice of the Lord your God,
    14 (Jer 4:19; 41:17) saying, 'No, but we will go into the land of Egypt
    where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet,
    nor have hunger for bread, and there we will dwell,'
    15 (Dt 17:16; Jer 44:12-14) now therefore hear the word of the Lord,
    O remnant of Judah. Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:
    If you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to dwell there,
    16 (Jer 44:27; Eze 11:8) then it shall come to pass that the sword
    which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt
    and the famine of which you were afraid shall follow close after you
    there in Egypt. And there you shall die.
    17 (Jer 42:22; 24:10) So it shall be with all the men who set their faces
    to go into Egypt to sojourn there. They shall die by the sword, by famine,
    and by pestilence. And none of them shall remain or escape from the disaster that I will bring upon them.
    18 (Jer 7:20; 18:16) For thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:
    As My anger and My fury have been poured out upon the inhabitants
    of Jerusalem, so will My fury be poured out upon you when you go to Egypt.
    And you will be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse,
    and a reproach. And you shall see this place no more.
    19 (Dt 17:16; Ne 9:26) "The Lord has said concerning you, O remnant of Judah, Do not go into Egypt! Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
    20 For you have only deceived yourselves when you sent me to
    the Lord your God, saying, 'Pray for us to the Lord our God. And according
    to all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it.' 21 (Eze 2:7; Zec 7:11-12) Now I have this day declared it to you.
    But you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God,
    or anything for which He has sent me to you.
    22 (Jer 42:17; Eze 6:11) Now therefore certainly know that you will die
    by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, in the place wherever you desire
    to go and to sojourn."

    Jeremiah 42
    [1] Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto
    the greatest, came near,
    [2] And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our
    supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes
    do behold us:)
    [3] That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
    [4] Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I
    will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come
    to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
    [5] Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness
    between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
    [6] Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we
    obey the voice of the LORD our God.
    [7] And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.
    [8] Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
    [9] And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
    [10] If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not
    pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me
    of the evil that I have done unto you.
    [11] Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not
    afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
    [12] And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
    [13] But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice
    of the LORD your God,
    [14] Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see
    no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and
    there will we dwell:
    [15] And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
    [16] Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. [17] So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt
    to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I
    will bring upon them.
    [18] For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and
    my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall
    my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye
    shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach;
    and ye shall see this place no more.
    [19] The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not
    into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
    [20] For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your
    God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that
    the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
    [21] And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
    [22] Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.

    Jeremiah 43

    Jeremiah Taken to Egypt

    1 (Jer 26:8; 42:22) When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people
    all these words of the Lord their God, with which the Lord their God had
    sent him to them,
    2 (2Ch 36:13; Isa 7:9) Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan
    the son of Kareah, and all the proud men said to Jeremiah, "You speak falsely. The Lord our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go into Egypt to sojourn there.'
    3 (Jer 36:4; 36:10) But Baruch the son of Neriah sets you against us
    to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death and carry us away captives into Babylon."
    4 (Jer 42:5-6; 2Ch 25:16) So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains
    of the forces and all the people did not obey the voice of the Lord to dwell
    in the land of Judah.
    5 (Jer 40:11-12) But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains
    of the forces took all the remnant of Judah who had returned
    from all nations wherever they had been driven to dwell in the land of Judah,
    6 (Jer 39:10; 40:7) even men, and women, and children,
    and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain
    of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,
    and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
    7 (Jer 2:16; 44:1) So they came into the land of Egypt
    because they did not obey the voice of the Lord.
    Thus they entered as far as Tahpanhes.
    8 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying:
    9 Take some large stones in your hand and hide them in the clay
    in the brick kiln which is at the entrance of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes,
    in the sight of the men of Judah,
    10 (Ps 18:11; 27:5) and say to them, Thus says the Lord of Hosts,
    the God of Israel: I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon,
    My servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid;
    and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
    11 (Jer 15:2; 44:13) When he comes, he shall ravage the land of Egypt
    and deliver whoever is meant for death to death, and whoever is meant
    for captivity to captivity, and whoever is meant for the sword to the sword.
    12 (Jer 46:25; Eze 30:13) I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods
    of Egypt and he shall burn them and carry them away captives. And he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment,
    and he shall depart from there in peace.
    13 He shall also break the images of Heliopolis that is in the land of Egypt, and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians he shall burn with fire.

    Jeremiah 43
    [1] And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
    [2] Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah,
    and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
    [3] But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver
    us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and
    carry us away captives into Babylon.
    [4] So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and
    all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
    [5] But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took
    all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they
    had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
    [6] Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the
    son of Neriah.
    [7] So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of
    the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
    [8] Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
    [9] Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the
    sight of the men of Judah;
    [10] And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall
    spread his royal pavilion over them.
    [11] And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such
    as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and
    such as are for the sword to the sword.
    [12] And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he
    shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself
    with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall
    go forth from thence in peace.
    [13] He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.

    Jeremiah 44

    Idolatry Leads to Judgment

    1 (Jer 46:14; Ex 14:2; Isa 11:11) The word that came to Jeremiah concerning
    all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, who dwell at Migdol,
    and Tahpanhes, and Memphis, and in the country of Pathros,
    [Or the stronghold.] saying,
    2 (Isa 6:11; Jer 9:11) Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:
    You have seen all the calamity that I have brought upon Jerusalem
    and upon all the cities of Judah. Look at them; today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
    3 (Dt 13:6; 29:26) because of their wickedness, which they have committed
    to provoke Me to anger, in that they went to burn incense
    and to serve other gods, whom they did not know;
    they nor you nor your fathers.
    4 (Jer 7:13; 7:25) However, I sent to you all My servants the prophets,
    rising early and sending them, saying, "Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate."
    5 But they did not listen nor incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, not to burn incense to other gods.
    6 (Isa 51:17; 51:20) Therefore My fury and My anger was poured out
    and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem;
    and they are ruined and desolate, as it is this day.
    7 (Nu 16:38; Jer 51:22) Now thus says the Lord God of Hosts,
    the God of Israel: Why are you committing this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and infant, out of Judah,
    leaving you no one to remain,
    8 (Jer 42:18; 25:6-7) provoking Me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone
    to dwell, so that you might cut yourselves off
    and become a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
    9 (Jer 7:17-18) Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers,
    and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives,
    which they have committed in the land of Judah
    and in the streets of Jerusalem?
    10 (Pr 28:14; Jer 8:12) They are not humbled even to this day,
    nor have they feared, nor have they walked in My law
    and My statutes that I set before you and before your fathers.
    11 (Jer 21:10; Am 9:4) Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts,
    the God of Israel: I will set My face against you for disaster,
    and to cut off all Judah.
    12 (Jer 42:15-18; Isa 65:15) I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there,
    and they all will be consumed and fall in the land of Egypt.
    They will even be consumed by the sword and by the famine.
    They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword
    and by the famine; and they will be an execration, and an astonishment,
    and a curse, and a reproach.
    13 (Jer 11:22; 43:11) For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem; by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
    14 (Jer 22:26-27; Ro 9:27) So none of the remnant of Judah who have gone
    into the land of Egypt to sojourn there will escape or remain,
    with the result that they return into the land of Judah
    to which they have a desire to return to dwell there.
    For no one shall return except those who escape.
    15 (Pr 11:21; Isa 1:5) Then all the men who knew that their wives
    had burned incense to other gods and all the women that stood by,
    a great multitude, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt,
    in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying:
    16 "As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord,
    we will not listen to you.
    17 (Ne 9:34; Jer 7:18) But we will certainly do whatever we have vowed,
    to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings
    to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings,
    and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem.
    For then we had plenty of food, and were well off, and saw no disaster.
    18 (Mal 3:13-15; Nu 11:5-6) But since we left off burning incense
    to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her,
    we have been in want of all things and have been consumed by the sword
    and by the famine."
    19 (Jer 7:18; 44:15) The women also said, "When we burned incense
    to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her,
    did we make her cakes to worship her and pour out drink offerings
    to her without our husbands?"

    [1] The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in
    the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and
    in the country of Pathros, saying,
    [2] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the
    evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah;
    and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
    [3] Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
    [4] Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
    [5] But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
    [6] Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in
    the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
    [7] Therefore now this saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you
    man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to
    remain;
    [8] In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell,
    that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a
    reproach among all the nations of the earth?
    [9] Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of
    the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own
    wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in
    the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
    [10] They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
    [11] Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I
    will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
    [12] And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go
    into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by
    the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the
    sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an
    astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
    [13] For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have
    punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
    [14] So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
    [15] Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto
    other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah,
    saying,
    [16] As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD,
    we will not hearken unto thee.
    [17] But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then
    had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
    [18] But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to
    pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
    [19] And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

    Calamity for the Jews

    20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and to the women,
    and to all the people who had given him such an answer:
    21 (Ps 79:8; Isa 64:9) "The incense offerings that you burned
    in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you,
    and your fathers, your kings, and your officials,
    and the people of the land, did not the Lord remember them
    and did they not come into His mind?
    22 (Jer 25:18; Isa 7:13) So the Lord could no longer bear it
    because of the evil of your deeds and because of the abominations
    which you have committed. Therefore your land is a desolation,
    and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as it is this day.
    23 (1Ki 9:9; Da 9:11-12) Because you have burned incense
    and because you have sinned against the Lord and have not obeyed
    the voice of the Lord, nor walked in His law, nor in His statutes,
    nor in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has happened to you,
    as it is this day."
    24 (Jer 43:7; 42:15) Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people
    and to all the women, "Hear the word of the Lord,
    all Judah who are in the land of Egypt.
    25 (Mt 14:9) Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:
    You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths
    and fulfilled with your hand, saying, 'We will surely perform our vows
    that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven
    and to pour out drink offerings to her.'
    "Proceed to accomplish your vows and surely perform your vows!
    26 (Ge 22:16; Ps 50:16) Yet hear the word of the Lord, all Judah
    who dwells in the land of Egypt: I have sworn by My great name,
    says the Lord, that My name shall no more be named in the mouth
    of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying,
    'As the Lord God lives.'
    27 (Jer 31:28; 2Ki 21:14) I will watch over them for disaster
    and not for good. And all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt
    shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine until there is an end
    of them.
    28 (Jer 44:14; Isa 10:19) Yet a small number who escape the sword shall
    return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant
    of Judah who have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there will know
    whose words will stand, Mine or theirs.
    29 (Pr 19:21; Isa 40:8) "This will be a sign to you, says the Lord,
    that I will punish you in this place so that you may know
    that My words shall surely stand against you for disaster.
    30 (2Ki 25:4-7; Jer 34:21) Thus says the Lord: I will give Pharaoh
    Hophra the king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies
    and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah
    king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
    who was his enemy, and sought his life."

    [20] Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women,
    and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
    [21] The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets
    of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
    [22] So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your
    doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore
    is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
    [23] Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor
    in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened
    unto you, as at this day.
    [24] Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear
    the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
    [25] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your
    wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand,
    saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense
    to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
    [26] Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the
    land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that
    my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the
    land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.
    [27] Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the
    men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword
    and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
    [28] Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land
    of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
    [29] And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish
    you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
    [30] Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt
    into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life;
    as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.

    Jeremiah 45

    A Message to Baruch

    1 (Jer 36:1; 32:12; 36:4) The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke
    to Baruch the son of Neriah when he had written these words in a book
    at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim
    the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:
    2 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
    3 (2Co 4:1; 4:16) You said, "Alas, woe is me! For the Lord has added
    grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest."
    4 (Jer 18:7-10; 31:28) Thus you shall say to him, "Thus says the Lord:
    That which I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted
    I will pluck up, even this whole land.
    5 (Jer 21:9; 39:18) But are you seeking great things for yourself?
    Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster upon all flesh, says the Lord,
    but I will give your life to you as booty in all the places where you go."

    Jeremiah 45
    [1] The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
    [2] Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;
    [3] Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my
    sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
    [4] Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.
    [5] And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give
    unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

    God's Superior Strength</a> by Arthur Jackson

    Jeremiah 31:10-14

    10 (Isa 40:11; 66:19; Eze 34:12) Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
    and declare it in the coastlands far off, and say,
    "He who scattered Israel will gather him
    and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock."
    11 (Isa 44:23; 48:20) For the Lord has redeemed Jacob
    and ransomed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
    12 (Isa 35:10; 58:11; 65:19 )Therefore they will come
    and sing in the height of Zion,
    and will be joyful over the goodness of the Lord,
    for wheat and for wine and for oil
    and for the young of the flock and of the herd;
    and their souls will be as a watered garden.
    And they will not sorrow any more at all.
    13 (Ps 30:11; Isa 51:11) Then the virgin shall rejoice in the dance,
    both young men and old together;
    for I will turn their mourning into joy,
    and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
    14 (Jer 31:25) I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
    and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness,
    says the Lord.

    [10] Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles
    afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him,
    as a shepherd doth his flock.
    [11] For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of
    him that was stronger than he.
    [12] Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall
    flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul
    shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
    [13] Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them,
    and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
    [14] And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.


    In his book From the Pit to the Pulpit, John Stroup shares about powerful, unfriendly forces of life that battered and bruised him physically, sexually, and emotionally. He notes, "I started using drugs before I could drive a
    car. . . . I quit school and began to get farther and farther into the criminal lifestyle." Eventually Joh'rCOs crimes landed him behind bars.
    While serving a five-year sentence, the Bible became real to him,
    and he was humbled before God. By God's grace, he was liberated from habits that were previously stronger than he was.

    Ancient Israel's experience often included oppression and sometimes captivity "from the hand of those stronger than they" (Jeremiah 31:11). Even when their predicaments were because of their own folly, God Himself exercised His mercy and might on behalf of His wayward people. RenewalrCoincluding joyful singing, abundant harvests, and celebration (vv. 12-14) - was to be expected when God exercised His superior strength for their good.

    John Stroup's life is a testimony to God's might on behalf of those who place their faith in God's Son, Jesus. The Gospels witness to Christ's power
    to counter the ugly forces of evil in human life. And the strength and power of Jesus can be accessed today through sincere, faith-filled prayer,
    and heartfelt surrender for "everyone who calls" on Him (Acts 2:21).

    Reflect & Pray

    What life forces are you facing that are too strong for you?
    What's keeping you from calling on Jesus for help?

    Heavenly Father, please exercise Your
    superior strength in my life today.

    Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 5 When you pray

    Mark 11:25

    25 And when you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone,
    so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your sins.

    25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any:
    that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

    "My prayer don't seem to be very effective," a man told his pastor." I try
    to make contact with God, but my prayers seem to hit the ceiling and bounce back."
    The pastor thought for a moment, then gently suggested,
    "Is there someone in your life you haven't forgiven?"
    "What do you mean?" The man's face flushed; the pastor has obviuosly struck
    a nerve. "Well, I guess I've had some struggles with my mother ... and then,
    my wife, and I ... ." The hidden truth came to light: the man was bound in unforgiving relationships with five of the closest people to him.
    Forgiveness is an essential element in prayer. For a very good reason,
    worship services in liturgical churches place the confession of sin and the absolution near the beginning of the service, before the reading of God's
    Word, prayer, and the sermon. Forgiveness - both the Lord's forgiveness
    of us and our forgiveness of others - clears the way for unhindered communication between God and his people.
    When we carry anger and bitterness, or even deeply buried, well-subliminated unforgiveness, into the presence of God, our prayers will be affected. We can, however, free the Holy Spirit to work in our lives and the lives of others through forgiveness. We can choose to forgive in light of God's forgiveness
    of us. And when we do, the channels are re-established;
    we can pray in power and open ourselves to an awareness of his activity
    in our lives.

    Application

    a) Have my prayers ever been affected by unforgiveness in my life?

    b) Is there someone in my life whom I need to forgive,
    whether or not I can work toward?

    4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

    Matthew 6:19-21

    Treasures in Heaven

    Lk 12:33-34

    19 (Heb 13:5; Lk 12:21) "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
    20 (Lk 12:33; Mt 19:21) But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
    where neither moth nor rust destroy
    and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
    21 (Lk 12:34) for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

    19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
    20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
    21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

    God's Eternal Faithfulness

    2 Tim 2:8-13

    8 (Mt 1:1; Ro 2:16) Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,
    descended from David, according to my gospel,
    9 (Php 1:7; 2Ti 1:8) in which I suffer trouble like a criminal,
    even with chains. But the word of God is not bound.
    10 (Col 1:24; 2Co 1:6; 4:17) Therefore I endure all things
    for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain
    the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
    11 (Ro 6:8; 1Th 5:10) This is a faithful saying:
    If we die with Him,
    we shall also live with Him.
    12 (Mt 10:33; Ro 8:17 ) If we endure,
    we shall also reign with Him.
    If we deny Him,
    He also will deny us.
    13 (Nu 23:19; Ro 3:3 )If we are faithless,
    He remains faithful;
    He cannot deny Himself.

    8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
    9 wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
    10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
    11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
    we shall also live with him:
    12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
    if we deny him, he also will deny us:
    13 if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

    Remember God's promises when You pray

    The Lord's prayer

    Matthew 6:9-13

    9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
    Our Father who is in heaven,
    hallowed be Your name.
    10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
    Your will be done
    on earth, as it is in heaven.
    11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
    12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
    as we forgive our debtors.
    13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.
    For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

    9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
    Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
    10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
    11 Give us this day our daily bread.
    12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
    13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
    For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

    6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

    New Brunswick

    Total population 753900
    Muslim population (est.) 4543

    Moncton, followed by Fredericton and Saint John, each have a growing Muslim population in New Brunswick, In 2007, the building that was formerly a Baptist church was converted into Moncton's 1st mosque. The University of Moncton
    also has a Muslim student association hosting prayer services, fellowship getherings, and outreaches on campus.
    Fredericton also has one mosque and a Muslim student association serving the campuses of the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University. Fredericton's Muslim population consists in 2014 of about 50 families,
    and between 300 to 400 university students.
    Saint John is home to the 1st Muslim Association for the province,
    which also helped foster the Islamic associations of Fredericton and Moncton.
    a 'musalla', or prayer location that is not officially structured as a mosque, has been established in the Uptown area with the intention of seeing it grow into a 2nd official place of Muslim worship. Demand for this new location has been primarily for university students moving into the area.

    Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick
    - that the eyes of pastors, believers and entire congregations will be opened to see this growing body of Muslims, and their hearts will be opened
    to sharing God's love in Jesus Christ with them

    - that intentional ministries to Muslims will grow and flourish in these
    areas of concentration

    - that cooperative CNNMM Networks will form to really, encourage,
    and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.

    30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020

    Under the Keep Praying page

    When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and, of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be decorated and festivals will be held.
    For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam.
    You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
    which means Blessed Eid!"
    Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you know, and Muslims around the world:
    - Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

    Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other, "What does this mean?"
    13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."

    Peter's Speech at Pentecost

    14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
    and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
    let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
    15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
    since it is the third hour of the day.
    16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
    17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
    'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
    your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams.'

    - Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective discipleship movements among Muslim people.

    - Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

    Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
    a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house."

    Ideas for prayer

    - Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
    - Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving Christ among Muslim people -

    Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
    - When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

    And

    Thank you for praying through the
    5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

    "My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
    I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
    cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

    Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
    and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
    love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
    One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
    light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

    As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
    to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

    Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
    Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
    to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

    I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs. God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
    and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

    13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
    and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
    through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    [13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
    ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

    ROMANS 15:13
