1 NOW these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue
of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people
whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
2 (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem,
and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah
sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused
to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands,
that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD
for it; for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners,
that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you,
and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you
from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will
bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
16 Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people
that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, with famine, and pestilence,
and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil,
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver
them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an
hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants
the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
20 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son
of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD
make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
23 Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives,
and spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness,
saith the LORD.
24 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
25 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name
unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all
the priests, saying,
26 The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house
of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him
in prison, and in the stocks.
27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?
28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them;
and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah saying,
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite;
Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not
have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall be behold the good that I will do for my people,
saith the LORD, because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.

Dead Poet Society - HURT
You need to get outta your head
You're killing yourself again
You better get what you want
You only get one shot
You're lighting yourself on fire
You know you aren't going any higher
This is what you want but why?
You coulda been just fine
Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running for the rest of your life
You can take this any way you want, tell me
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
I know that I have my doubts
So why you gotta call me out?
Tell me it'll be just fine
You're outta your goddamn mind
The voices in my head grow loud
I don't know how to shut them out
This is what you want but why?
You coulda been just fine
Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running for the rest of your life
You can take this any way you want, tell me
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?

You'll be running, you'll be running, you'll be
Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running, you'll be running, you'll be
Are you insane? Look at how you're living
Is it what you really wanted, what you really wanted?
You've been waiting on a miracle and you've gotta let it go
Tired and afraid, the reality of getting old
It's our legacy, and you will never make it out no
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running for the rest of your life
You can take this any way you want, tell me
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
(You threw it all away)

Damiano David - Nothing Breaks Like a Heart
Damiano David - Nothing Breaks Like a Heart
[Verse 1]
I heard you on the phone last night
We live and die by pretty lies
You know it, we both know it
These silver bullet cigarettes
This burning house, there's nothing left
It's smoking, we both know it
We got all night to fall in love
But just like that, we fall apart
We're broken, we're broken
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, but nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
[Chorus]
There's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
This broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
But days fall apart, and nothing breaks like a heart
Oh-oh-oh, nothing breaks like a heart
[Verse 2]
We'll leave each other cold as ice
And high and dry, the desert wind
Is blowin', is blowin'
Remember what you said to me?
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
And I hold it, we both know it
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, but nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
No, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
[Chorus]
There's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
This broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
But days apart, and nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, nothing breaks like a heart
[Bridge]
Mmm, but nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
No, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
No, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
Oh, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
[Chorus]
Oh, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
Ooh, this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
But days apart, and nothing breaks like a heart
Oh-oh-oh, nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
BAD OMENS - Just Pretend
I’m not afraid of the war you’ve come to wage against my sins
I’m not okay, but I can try my best to just pretend
So will you wait me out, or will you drown me out?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you
I know the pain that you hide behind the smile on your face, and not a day goes by where I don’t think I feel the same
So will you wait me out, or will you drown me out?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you
We’ll try again when we’re not so different
We will make amends, till’ then I’ll just pretend
Weigh down on me
Stay till’ morning
Way down, would you say I’m worthy?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you
We’ll try again when we’re not so different
We will make amends, till’ then I’ll just pretend
Weigh down on me
Stay till’ morning
Way down, would you say I’m worthy?

I saw the part of you
That only when you're older you will see too
You will see too
I held the better cards
But every stroke of luck has got a bleed through
It's got a bleed through
You held the balance of the time
That only blindly I could read you
But I could read you
It's like you told me
Go forward slowly
It's not a race to the end
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
You were the better part
Of every bit of beating heart that I had
Whatever I had
I finally sat alone
Pitch black flesh and bone
Couldn't believe that you were gone
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
Where are we?
Where are we?
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
I saw the part of you that only when you're older
You will see too, you will see too
