00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.040
It's<00:04:13.539><c> one</c><00:04:13.800><c> whose</c><00:04:14.080><c> name</c><00:04:14.400><c> means</c><00:04:14.919><c> God</c><00:04:15.419><c> is</c><00:04:16.060><c> judge.</c>

00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.620

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.180

Why<00:04:24.240><c> are</c><00:04:24.759><c> the</c><00:04:25.040><c> Israelites</c><00:04:25.459><c> in</c><00:04:25.800><c> Babylon?</c>

00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.759
Because<00:04:27.259><c> God</c><00:04:27.519><c> has</c><00:04:27.800><c> judged.</c>

00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.560

00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:33.060
And<00:04:31.800><c> what</c><00:04:31.959><c> has</c><00:04:32.060><c> he</c><00:04:32.199><c> done</c><00:04:32.360><c> with</c><00:04:32.560><c> his</c><00:04:32.800><c> people?</c>

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:37.699
Well,<00:04:33.300><c> he</c><00:04:33.300><c> has</c><00:04:33.980><c> not</c><00:04:34.879><c> shaken</c><00:04:35.279><c> them</c><00:04:35.540><c> off</c><00:04:35.959><c> totally,</c><00:04:36.980><c> but</c><00:04:37.220><c> he</c><00:04:37.399><c> has</c>

00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:39.540
taken<00:04:37.959><c> them</c><00:04:38.160><c> out</c><00:04:38.360><c> of</c><00:04:38.459><c> their</c><00:04:38.660><c> land.</c>

00:04:39.819 --> 00:04:41.819
He<00:04:39.980><c> has</c><00:04:40.220><c> punished</c><00:04:40.519><c> them</c><00:04:40.800><c> severely.</c>

00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.660
He<00:04:42.399><c> has</c><00:04:42.860><c> done</c><00:04:43.220><c> that.</c>

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.100
He<00:04:44.279><c> did</c><00:04:44.600><c> have</c><00:04:44.899><c> to</c><00:04:45.079><c> do</c><00:04:45.240><c> that</c><00:04:45.519><c> at</c><00:04:45.660><c> a</c><00:04:45.879><c> certain</c><00:04:46.060><c> point.</c>

00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:49.939
But<00:04:47.420><c> in</c><00:04:47.620><c> balance,</c><00:04:48.240><c> let</c><00:04:48.339><c> us</c><00:04:48.500><c> remember</c><00:04:48.899><c> how</c><00:04:49.139><c> long</c><00:04:49.399><c> it</c><00:04:49.579><c> took</c><00:04:49.740><c> him</c>

00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:53.459
to<00:04:50.120><c> do</c><00:04:50.300><c> that</c><00:04:50.860><c> in</c><00:04:51.639><c> the</c><00:04:51.920><c> case</c><00:04:52.319><c> with</c><00:04:52.579><c> Israel.</c>

00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:58.639
And<00:04:53.779><c> let</c><00:04:53.839><c> us</c><00:04:54.040><c> remember,</c><00:04:54.420><c> of</c><00:04:54.620><c> course,</c><00:04:54.899><c> how</c><00:04:55.060><c> much</c><00:04:55.259><c> he</c><00:04:55.560><c> sought</c><00:04:55.899><c> for</c><00:04:56.740><c> restoration</c><00:04:57.620><c> once</c><00:04:58.319><c> he</c>

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.180
So<00:05:02.759><c> that</c><00:05:03.180><c> balance</c><00:05:03.519><c> is</c><00:05:03.680><c> important,</c><00:05:04.339><c> isn't</c><00:05:04.420><c> it,</c><00:05:04.540><c> by</c><00:05:04.759><c> way</c><00:05:04.959><c> of</c><00:05:05.220><c> perspective?</c>

00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.319
It's<00:05:06.660><c> not</c><00:05:06.959><c> something</c><00:05:07.240><c> we're</c><00:05:07.420><c> very</c><00:05:07.699><c> good</c><00:05:07.920><c> at.</c>

00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:12.000
And<00:05:08.740><c> it</c><00:05:08.819><c> is</c><00:05:09.079><c> something</c><00:05:09.339><c> which</c><00:05:09.519><c> we</c><00:05:09.699><c> must</c><00:05:09.939><c> cultivate</c><00:05:10.500><c> and</c><00:05:10.839><c> strive</c><00:05:11.180><c> for,</c>
