Numbers Chapter 20

¹The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

²There was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

³The people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, "We wish that we had died when our brothers died before ForeverOne!

⁴Why have you brought the assembly of ForeverOne into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?

⁵Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink." ⁶Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of ForeverOne appeared to them.

⁷ForeverOne spoke to Moses, saying, ⁸"Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it give out its water; and you shall produce to them water out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink." ⁹Moses took the rod from before ForeverOne, as he commanded him.

¹⁰Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring you water out of this rock for you?" ¹¹Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice: and water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock.

¹²ForeverOne said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you didn't believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you won't bring this assembly into the land which I have given them." ¹³These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with ForeverOne, and he was sanctified in them.

Jeremiah Chapter 48

²⁶Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against ForeverOne: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

²⁷For wasn't Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

²⁸You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

²⁹We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

³⁰I know his wrath, says ForeverOne, that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.

³¹Therefore will I wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir Heres shall they mourn.

³²With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer has fallen.

³³Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

³⁴From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.

³⁵Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says ForeverOne, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.

³⁶Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has obtained is perished.

³⁷For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.

³⁸On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights, says ForeverOne.

³⁹How is it broken down! [how] do they wail! how has Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.

⁴⁰For thus says ForeverOne: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

⁴¹Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

⁴²Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against ForeverOne.

⁴³Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says ForeverOne.

⁴⁴He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation, says ForeverOne.

⁴⁵Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

⁴⁶Woe to you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.

⁴⁷Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says ForeverOne. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

Jeremiah Chapter 49

¹Of the children of Ammon. Thus says ForeverOne "Has Israel no sons; has he no heir? Then why does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?

²Therefore, behold, the days come," says ForeverOne, "that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire; then Israel will possess those who possessed him", says ForeverOne.

³Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

⁴Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come to me?

⁵Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says LordOfMine, ForeverOne of Armies, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

⁶But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says ForeverOne.

Psalm 114

¹When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language; ²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

⁵What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

⁶You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, ⁸who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

Psalm 115

¹Not to us, ForeverOne, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake.

²Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?" ³But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they don't speak. They have eyes, but they don't see.

⁶They have ears, but they don't hear. They have noses, but they don't smell.

⁷They have hands, but they don't feel. They have feet, but they don't walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

⁸Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

⁹Israel, trust in ForeverOne! He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰House of Aaron, trust in ForeverOne! He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear ForeverOne, trust in ForeverOne! He is their help and their shield.

¹²ForeverOne remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless those who fear ForeverOne, both small and great.

¹⁴May ForeverOne increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹⁵Blessed are you by ForeverOne, who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of ForeverOne; but the earth has he given to the children of men.

¹⁷The dead don't praise EverOne, neither any who go down into silence; ¹⁸But we will bless EverOne, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise EverOne!

2 Corinthians Chapter 11

¹I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.

²For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to the AnointedOne.

³But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the AnointedOne.

⁴For if someone preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you didn't receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

⁵For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

⁶But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.

⁷Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?

⁸I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.

⁹When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.

¹⁰As the truth of the AnointedOne is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

¹¹Why? Because I don't love you? God knows!

¹²But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.

¹³For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as the AnointedOne's apostles.

¹⁴And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

¹⁵So it is no great thing if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their actions.

¹⁶I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

¹⁷What I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

¹⁸Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I will also boast.

¹⁹For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.

²⁰For you bear with a man if he brings you into slavery, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.

²¹I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

²²Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.

²³Are they servants of the AnointedOne? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.

²⁴Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.

²⁵Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.

²⁶I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers; ²⁷in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.

²⁸Besides those things that are outside, there is what presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.

²⁹Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don't burn with indignation?
