Section 2

Jeremiah 23:5-32

28 verses

Jeremiah Chapter 23

5Behold, the days come, says ForeverOne, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

6In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: ForeverOne our righteousness.

7Therefore, behold, the days come, says ForeverOne, that they shall no more say, As ForeverOne lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8but, As ForeverOne lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. They shall dwell in their own land.

9Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of ForeverOne, and because of his holy words.

10For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right; 11for both prophet and priest are profane; yes, in my house have I found their wickedness, says ForeverOne.

12Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall there; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation, says ForeverOne.

13I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

14In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that none does return from his wickedness: they are all of them become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.

15Therefore thus says ForeverOne of Armies concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.

16Thus says ForeverOne of Armies, Don't listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of ForeverOne.

17They say continually to those who despise me, ForeverOne has said, You shall have peace; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come on you.

18For who has stood in the council of ForeverOne, that he should perceive and hear his word? who has marked my word, and heard it?

19Behold, the storm of ForeverOne, [even his] wrath, is gone forth, yes, a whirling storm: it shall burst on the head of the wicked.

20The anger of ForeverOne shall not return, until he has executed, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand it perfectly.

21I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I didn't speak to them, yet they prophesied.

22But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

23Am I [only] a God [who's] near, says ForeverOne, and not a God [who's] far away?

24Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says ForeverOne. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says ForeverOne.

25I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

27who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.

28The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? says ForeverOne.

29Isn't my word like fire? says ForeverOne; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says ForeverOne, who steal my words everyone from his neighbor.

31Behold, I am against the prophets, says ForeverOne, who use their tongues, and say, He says.

32Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says ForeverOne, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I didn't send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, says ForeverOne.

Section 3

Psalm 78:1-35

35 verses

Psalm 78

1Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

2I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, 3Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

4We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of ForeverOne, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

5For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; 6that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children, 7that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments, 8and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn't make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

9The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

10They didn't keep God's covenant, and refused to walk in his law.

11They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.

12He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

14In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.

15He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

17Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

18They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

19Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

20Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?" 21Therefore ForeverOne heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel, 22because they didn't believe in God, and didn't trust in his salvation.

23Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

24He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

25Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

26He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

27He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.

28He let them fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.

29So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

30They didn't turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths, 31when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of the fattest of them, and struck down the young men of Israel.

32For all this they still sinned, and didn't believe in his wondrous works.

33Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

34When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.

35They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.

Section 4

1 Corinthians 3

23 verses

1 Corinthians Chapter 3

1Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in the AnointedOne.

2I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, even now you aren't ready, 3for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men?

4For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly?

5Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

6I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

7So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

8Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming, God's building.

10According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

11For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid, which is Jesus AnointedOne.

12But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble, 13each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.

14If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

15If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

16Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

17If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.

18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness." 20And again, "ForeverOne knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless." 21So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 22whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours, 23and you are the AnointedOne's, and the AnointedOne is God's.
