Section 1

Numbers 21:33-22:12

15 verses

Numbers Chapter 21

33They turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

34ForeverOne said to Moses, "Don't fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon." 35So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.

Numbers Chapter 22

1The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.

2Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

3Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

4Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

5He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, "Behold, there is a people who came out from Egypt. Behold, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me.

6Please come now therefore curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed." 7The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.

8He said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as ForeverOne shall speak to me." The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

9God came to Balaam, and said, "Who are these men with you?" 10Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, [saying], 11'Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covers the surface of the earth: now, come curse me them; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.'" 12God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people; for they are blessed."

Section 2

Jeremiah 50:44-51:23

26 verses

Jeremiah Chapter 50

44Behold, [the enemy] shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd who can stand before me?

45Therefore hear the counsel of ForeverOne, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they shall drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

46At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations.

Jeremiah Chapter 51

1Thus says ForeverOne: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.

2I will send to Babylon strangers, who shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her around.

3Against [him who] bends let the archer bend his bow, and against [him who] lifts himself up in his coat of mail: and don't spare her young men; utterly destroy all her army.

4They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.

5For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of ForeverOne of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.

6Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; don't be cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of ForeverOne's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.

7Babylon has been a golden cup in ForeverOne's hand, who made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

8Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

9We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

10ForeverOne has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of ForeverOne our God.

11Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: ForeverOne has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of ForeverOne, the vengeance of his temple.

12Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for ForeverOne has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

13You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.

14ForeverOne of Armies has sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill you with men, as with the canker worm; and they shall lift up a shout against you.

15He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens: 16when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.

17Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

18They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

19The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and [Israel] is the tribe of his inheritance: ForeverOne of Armies is his name.

20You are my battle axe and weapons of war: and with you will I break in pieces the nations; and with you will I destroy kingdoms; 21and with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; 22and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein; and with you will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the virgin; 23and with you will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke [of oxen]; and with you will I break in pieces governors and deputies.

Section 3

Psalm 119:41-72

32 verses

Psalm 119

41[VAV] Let your loving kindness also come to me, ForeverOne, your salvation, according to your word.

42So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.

43Don't snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put my hope in your ordinances.

44So I will obey your law continually, forever and ever.

45I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts.

46I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not be disappointed.

47I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.

48I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes.

49[ZAYIN] Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.

50This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.

51The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don't swerve from your law.

52I remember your ordinances of old, ForeverOne, and have comforted myself.

53Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your law.

54Your statutes have been my songs, in the house where I live.

55I have remembered your name, ForeverOne, in the night, and I obey your law.

56This is my way, that I keep your precepts.

57[HET] ForeverOne is my portion. I promised to obey your words.

58I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.

59I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your statutes.

60I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your commandments.

61The ropes of the wicked bind me, but I won't forget your law.

62At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances.

63I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.

64The earth is full of your loving kindness, ForeverOne. Teach me your statutes.

65[TET] Do good to your servant, according to your word, ForeverOne.

66Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.

67Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.

68You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.

69The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.

70Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your law.

71It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

72The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

Section 4

Galatians 2

21 verses

Galatians Chapter 2

1Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

2I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

3But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

4This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in AnointedOne Jesus, that they might bring us into slavery, 5to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

6But from those who were reputed to be important- whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn't show partiality to man- they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me, 7but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised 8for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles - 9and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

10They only asked us to remember the poor - which very thing I was also zealous to do.

11But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.

12For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

13And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

14But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

15"We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners, 16yet knowing that a man is not justified by the actions of the law but through faith in Jesus AnointedOne, even we believed in AnointedOne Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in the AnointedOne, and not by the actions of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the actions of the law.

17But if while we sought to be justified in the AnointedOne, we ourselves also were found to be sinners, is the AnointedOne a servant of sin? Certainly not!

18For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

19For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

20I have been crucified with the AnointedOne, and it is no longer I who live, but the AnointedOne living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

21I don't reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then the AnointedOne died for nothing!"
