Section 2

Ezekiel 13:10-14:11

25 verses

Ezekiel Chapter 13

10Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash: 11tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it.

12Behold, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?

13Therefore thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

14So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am ForeverOne.

15Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it; 16[to wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says LordOfMine ForeverOne.

17You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them, 18and say, Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of [persons of] every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

19You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.

20Therefore thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Behold, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make [them] fly.

21Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am ForeverOne.

22Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive: 23Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am ForeverOne.

Ezekiel Chapter 14

1Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me.

2The word of ForeverOne came to me, saying, 3Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

4Therefore speak to them, and tell them, Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I ForeverOne will answer him there according to the multitude of his idols; 5that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

6Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Return, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

7For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I ForeverOne will answer him by myself: 8and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am ForeverOne.

9If the prophet is deceived and speak a word, I, ForeverOne, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

10They shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him who seeks [to him]; 11that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says LordOfMine ForeverOne.

Section 3

Psalm 146-147

30 verses

Psalm 146

1Praise EverOne! Praise ForeverOne, my soul.

2While I live, I will praise ForeverOne. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

4His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in ForeverOne, his God: 6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever; 7who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. ForeverOne frees the prisoners.

8ForeverOne opens the eyes of the blind. ForeverOne raises up those who are bowed down. ForeverOne loves the righteous.

9ForeverOne preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

10ForeverOne will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise EverOne!

Psalm 147

1Praise EverOne, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

2ForeverOne builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

4He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

6ForeverOne upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.

7Sing to ForeverOne with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God, 8who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.

9He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

10He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

11ForeverOne takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

12Praise ForeverOne, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!

13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.

14He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.

15He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.

16He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.

17He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?

18He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

19He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

20He has not done this for just any nation. They don't know his ordinances. Praise EverOne!

Section 4

Philippians 4

23 verses

Philippians Chapter 4

1So, my brothers, dear and longed for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord loved-ones.

2I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.

3Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

4Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I say, "Rejoice!" 5Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

6In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in AnointedOne Jesus.

8Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.

9The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

10But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.

11Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

12I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.

13I can do all things through the AnointedOne, who strengthens me.

14However you did well that you shared in my affliction.

15You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that at the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.

16For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.

17Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

18But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

19My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in AnointedOne Jesus.

20Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

21Greet every saint in AnointedOne Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

22All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household.

23The grace of the Lord Jesus AnointedOne be with you all. Amen.
