Section 2

Jeremiah 22:8-23:4

27 verses

Jeremiah Chapter 22

8Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has ForeverOne done thus to this great city?

9Then they shall answer, Because they forsook the covenant of ForeverOne their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.

10Don't weep for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

11For thus says ForeverOne touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, [and] who went forth out of this place: He shall not return there any more.

12But in the place where they have led him captive, there he shall die, and he shall see this land no more.

13Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor's service without wages, and doesn't give him his hire; 14who says, I will build me a wide house and spacious rooms, and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling with cedar, and anointed with vermilion.

15Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn't your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him.

16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn't this to know me? says ForeverOne.

17But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

18Therefore thus says ForeverOne concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: they shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! They shall not lament for him, [saying] Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!

19He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

20Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed.

21I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your way from your youth, that you didn't obey my voice.

22The wind shall feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity: surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.

23Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!

24As I live, says ForeverOne, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck you there; 25and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26I will throw you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.

27But to the land whereunto their soul longs to return, there shall they not return.

28Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel in which none delights? why are they thrown out, he and his offspring, and are thrown into the land which they don't know?

29O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of ForeverOne.

30Thus says ForeverOne, Write you this man childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his line prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.

Jeremiah Chapter 23

1Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says ForeverOne.

2Therefore thus says ForeverOne, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings, says ForeverOne.

3I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.

4I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, says ForeverOne.

Section 3

Psalm 77

21 verses

Psalm 77

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph.

1My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

2In the day of my trouble I sought LordOfMine. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn't get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

3I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

4You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can't speak.

5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires: 7"Will LordOfMine reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

8Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?" Selah.

10Then I thought, "I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High." 11I will remember EverOne's deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

12I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

14You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

15You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

17The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

19Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

20You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Section 4

1 Corinthians 1:26-2:16

22 verses

1 Corinthians Chapter 1

26For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 27but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

28God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don't exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist, 29that no flesh should boast before God.

30Because of him, you are in AnointedOne Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 31that, as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in ForeverOne."

1 Corinthians Chapter 2

1When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

2For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus AnointedOne and him crucified.

3I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing.

7But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, 8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.

9But as it is written, "Things which no eye saw, nor ear heard, which didn't enter into a human heart, these God has prepared for those who love him." 10But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

11For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.

12But we didn't receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

13We also speak these things, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

14Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

16"For who has known the mind of ForeverOne, that he should instruct him?" But we have the AnointedOne's mind.
