Numbers Chapter 14

⁵Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

⁶Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes: ⁷and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.

⁸If ForeverOne delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

⁹Only don't rebel against ForeverOne, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and ForeverOne is with us. Don't fear them." ¹⁰But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The glory of ForeverOne appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.

¹¹ForeverOne said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?

¹²I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they." ¹³Moses said to ForeverOne, "Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them; ¹⁴and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you ForeverOne are in the midst of this people; for you ForeverOne are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

¹⁵Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying, ¹⁶'Because ForeverOne was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.' ¹⁷Now please let the power of LordOfMine be great, according as you have spoken, saying, ¹⁸'ForeverOne is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.' ¹⁹Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now." ²⁰ForeverOne said, "I have pardoned according to your word: ²¹but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of ForeverOne; ²²because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice; ²³surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it: ²⁴but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his offspring shall possess it.

²⁵Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the road to the Red Sea."

Jeremiah Chapter 34

⁸The word that came to Jeremiah from ForeverOne, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them; ⁹that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondservants of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother.

¹⁰All the princes and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant, and everyone his female servant, go free, that none should make bondservants of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go: ¹¹but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

¹²Therefore the word of ForeverOne came to Jeremiah from ForeverOne, saying, ¹³Thus says ForeverOne, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying, ¹⁴At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers didn't listen to me, neither inclined their ear.

¹⁵You had now turned, and had done what is right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: ¹⁶but you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and you brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.

¹⁷Therefore thus says ForeverOne: you have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim to you a liberty, says ForeverOne, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹⁸I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts; ¹⁹the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf; ²⁰I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth.

²¹Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, who have gone away from you.

²²Behold, I will command, says ForeverOne, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

Jeremiah Chapter 35

¹The word which came to Jeremiah from ForeverOne in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, ²Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of ForeverOne, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.

³Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites; ⁴and I brought them into the house of ForeverOne, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

⁵I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, Drink wine!

⁶But they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons, forever: ⁷neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land in which you live.

Psalm 96

¹Sing to ForeverOne a new song! Sing to ForeverOne, all the earth.

²Sing to ForeverOne! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!

³Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

⁴For great is ForeverOne, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but ForeverOne made the heavens.

⁶Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷Ascribe to ForeverOne, you families of nations, ascribe to ForeverOne glory and strength.

⁸Ascribe to ForeverOne the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and enter his courts.

⁹Worship ForeverOne in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

¹⁰Say among the nations, "ForeverOne reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

¹¹Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!

¹²Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy ¹³before ForeverOne; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

Psalm 97

¹ForeverOne reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

²Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

³A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

⁴His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

⁵The mountains melt like wax at the presence of ForeverOne, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁶The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

⁷Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

⁸Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, ForeverOne.

⁹For you, ForeverOne, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰You who love ForeverOne, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

¹²Be glad in ForeverOne, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14

²⁰Brothers, don't be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

²¹In the law it is written, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won't even hear me that way, says ForeverOne." ²²So other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

²³So if the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?

²⁴But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

²⁵And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

²⁶What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

²⁷If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

²⁸But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

²⁹Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

³⁰But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

³¹For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.

³²The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, ³³for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

³⁴Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says, ³⁵if they desire to learn anything. "Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly." ³⁶What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

³⁷If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

³⁸But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

³⁹So, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking with other languages.

⁴⁰Let all things be done decently and in order.
