The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 309 Jeremiah
-- 51{1} Thus
saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that
dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; {2}
And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land:
for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. {3}
Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth
himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly
all her host. {4} Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans,
and they that are thrust through in her streets. {5} For Israel hath
not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land
was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. {6} Flee out of
the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity;
for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
{7} Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the
earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are
mad. {8} Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take
balm for her pain, if so she may be healed. {9} We would have healed
Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his
own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the
skies. {10} The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and
let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. {11} Make bright
the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings
of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is
the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple. {12} Set up
the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen,
prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake
against the inhabitants of Babylon. {13} O thou that dwellest upon
many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy
covetousness. {14} The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying,
Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up
a shout against thee. {15} He hath made the earth by his power, he
hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by
his understanding. {16} When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude
of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of
the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of
his treasures. {17} Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder
is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there
is no breath in them. {18} They are vanity, the work of errors: in
the time of their visitation they shall perish. {19} The portion of
Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the
rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. {20} Thou art
my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations,
and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; {21} And with thee will I break
in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot
and his rider; {22} With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman;
and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break
in pieces the young man and the maid; {23} I will also break in pieces
with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the
husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains
and rulers. {24} And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants
of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the
LORD. {25} Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith
the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon
thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
{26} And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone
for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. {27}
Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare
the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni,
and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the
rough caterpillers. {28} Prepare against her the nations with the kings
of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land
of his dominion. {29} And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every
purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon
a desolation without an inhabitant. {30} The mighty men of Babylon
have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed;
they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
{31} One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another,
to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end, {32}
And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and
the men of war are affrighted. {33} For thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time
to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
{34} Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed
me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he
hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out. {35}
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant
of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
{36} Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and
take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
{37} And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment,
and an hissing, without an inhabitant. {38} They shall roar together
like lions: they shall yell as lion's whelps. {39} In their heat I
will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and
sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. {40} I will
bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. {41}
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how
is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations! {42} The sea is
come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
{43} Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land
wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby. {44}
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that
which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto
him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. {45} My people, go ye out
of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of
the LORD. {46} And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour
that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after
that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against
ruler. {47} Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment
upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and
all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. {48} Then the heaven
and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers
shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD. {49} As Babylon
hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of
all the earth. {50} Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand
not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
{51} We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered
our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD's house.
{52} Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment
upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
{53} Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify
the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the
LORD. {54} A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction
from the land of the Chaldeans: {55} Because the LORD hath spoiled
Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like
great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered: {56} Because the spoiler
is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of
their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.
{57} And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains,
and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and
not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. {58} Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and
her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain,
and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary. {59} The word which
Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,
when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of
his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince. {60} So Jeremiah wrote
in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that
are written against Babylon. {61} And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When
thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words; {62}
Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off,
that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate
for ever. {63} And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading
this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
{64} And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from
the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the
words of Jeremiah. Jeremiah
-- 52{1} Zedekiah
was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years
in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
{2} And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to
all that Jehoiakim had done. {3} For through the anger of the LORD
it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence,
that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. {4} And it came
to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of
the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against
Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
{5} So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
{6} And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine
was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
{7} Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went
forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which
was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and
they went by the way of the plain. {8} But the army of the Chaldeans
pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all
his army was scattered from him. {9} Then they took the king, and carried
him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave
judgment upon him. {10} And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah
before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. {11}
Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains,
and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
{12} Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the
nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain
of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, {13}
And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of
Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire: {14}
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake
down all the walls of Jerusalem round about. {15} Then Nebuzar-adan
the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people,
and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away,
that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. {16}
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land
for vinedressers and for husbandmen. {17} Also the pillars of brass
that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was
in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them
to Babylon. {18} The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers,
and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered,
took they away. {19} And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls,
and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which
was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain
of the guard away. {20} The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen
bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the
LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. {21} And concerning
the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve
cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
{22} And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter
was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about,
all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.
{23} And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the
pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about. {24} And
the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second
priest, and the three keepers of the door: {25} He took also out of
the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them
that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal
scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of
the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city. {26}
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king
of Babylon to Riblah. {27} And the king of Babylon smote them, and
put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away
captive out of his own land. {28} This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar
carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
{29} In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from
Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons: {30} In the three and
twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried
away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons
were four thousand and six hundred. {31} And it came to pass in the
seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the
twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach
king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin
king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison, {32} And spake
kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with
him in Babylon, {33} And changed his prison garments: and he did continually
eat bread before him all the days of his life. {34} And for his diet,
there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion
until the day of his death, all the days of his life. Hebrews
-- 5{1} For every
high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God,
that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: {2} Who can have
compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself
also is compassed with infirmity. {3} And by reason hereof he ought,
as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. {4} And
no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
{5} So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but
he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. {6}
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
of Melchisedec. {7} Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered
up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able
to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; {8} Though
he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; {9}
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them
that obey him; {10} Called of God an high priest after the order of
Melchisedec. {11} Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be
uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. {12} For when for the time
ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and
not of strong meat. {13} For every one that useth milk is unskilful
in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. {14} But strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern both good and evil. |
