The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 294 Jeremiah
-- 11{1} The word
that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, {2} Hear ye the words
of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
{3} And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be
the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, {4} Which I commanded
your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from
the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I
command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: {5}
That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them
a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said,
So be it, O LORD. {6} Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these
words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye
the words of this covenant, and do them. {7} For I earnestly protested
unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. {8}
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination
of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant,
which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. {9} And the LORD
said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants
of Jerusalem. {10} They are turned back to the iniquities of their
forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to
serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant
which I made with their fathers. {11} Therefore thus saith the LORD,
Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and
though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. {12} Then
shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods
unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time
of their trouble. {13} For according to the number of thy cities were
thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have
ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
{14} Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or
prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for
their trouble. {15} What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing
she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when
thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. {16} The LORD called thy name,
A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult
he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. {17}
For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for
the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done
against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. {18}
And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst
me their doings. {19} But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought
to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying,
Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the
land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. {20} But,
O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart,
let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
{21} Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy
life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
{22} Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them:
the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die
by famine: {23} And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring
evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Jeremiah -- 12{1}
Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee
of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are
all they happy that deal very treacherously? {2} Thou hast planted
them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou
art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. {3} But thou, O
LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them
out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
{4} How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither,
for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the
birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end. {5} If thou
hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend
with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied
thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? {6} For even
thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously
with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though
they speak fair words unto thee. {7} I have forsaken mine house, I
have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand
of her enemies. {8} Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest;
it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. {9} Mine heritage
is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye,
assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. {10} Many pastors
have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have
made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. {11} They have made
it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate,
because no man layeth it to heart. {12} The spoilers are come upon
all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour
from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall
have peace. {13} They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they
have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of
your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD. {14} Thus saith
the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I
have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their
land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. {15} And it
shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have
compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and
every man to his land. {16} And it shall come to pass, if they will
diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth;
as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst
of my people. {17} But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck
up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD. Jeremiah
-- 13{1} Thus
saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins,
and put it not in water. {2} So I got a girdle according to the word
of the LORD, and put it on my loins. {3} And the word of the LORD came
unto me the second time, saying, {4} Take the girdle that thou hast
got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in
a hole of the rock. {5} So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the
LORD commanded me. {6} And it came to pass after many days, that the
LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which
I commanded thee to hide there. {7} Then I went to Euphrates, and digged,
and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle
was marred, it was profitable for nothing. {8} Then the word of the
LORD came unto me, saying, {9} Thus saith the LORD, After this manner
will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. {10}
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination
of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them,
shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. {11} For as
the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me
the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they
might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory:
but they would not hear. {12} Therefore thou shalt speak unto them
this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with
wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle
shall be filled with wine? {13} Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus
saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the
kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. {14} And I will dash
them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD:
I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. {15}
Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. {16}
Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet
stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into
the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. {17} But if ye will
not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye
shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried
away captive. {18} Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves,
sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
{19} The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them:
Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away
captive. {20} Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the
north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? {21}
What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be
captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
{22} And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me?
For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made
bare. {23} Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. {24} Therefore
will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
{25} This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD;
because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. {26} Therefore
will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. {27}
I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom,
and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem!
wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be? First
Timothy -- 3{1}
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good
work. {2} A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,
vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; {3}
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a
brawler, not covetous; {4} One that ruleth well his own house, having
his children in subjection with all gravity; {5} (For if a man know
not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
{6} Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation
of the devil. {7} Moreover he must have a good report of them which
are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. {8}
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine,
not greedy of filthy lucre; {9} Holding the mystery of the faith in
a pure conscience. {10} And let these also first be proved; then let
them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. {11} Even so
must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
{12} Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children
and their own houses well. {13} For they that have used the office
of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the
faith which is in Christ Jesus. {14} These things write I unto thee,
hoping to come unto thee shortly: {15} But if I tarry long, that thou
mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is
the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. {16}
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in
the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into glory. |
