The Bible Reading Plan

Numbers Chapter 10

¹ForeverOne spoke to Moses, saying, ²"Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.

³When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

⁴If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.

⁵When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward.

⁶When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

⁷But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but don't sound an alarm.

⁸"The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.

⁹When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before ForeverOne your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

¹⁰"Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am ForeverOne your God."

Jeremiah Chapter 27

¹⁶Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says ForeverOne: Don't listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of ForeverOne's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

¹⁷Don't listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?

¹⁸But if they be prophets, and if the word of ForeverOne be with them, let them now make intercession to ForeverOne of Armies, that the vessels which are left in the house of ForeverOne, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don't go to Babylon.

¹⁹For thus says ForeverOne of Armies concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city, ²⁰which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; ²¹yes, thus says ForeverOne of Armies, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of ForeverOne, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem: ²²They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them, says ForeverOne; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

Jeremiah Chapter 28

¹That same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of ForeverOne, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, ²Thus speaks ForeverOne of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

³Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of ForeverOne's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon: ⁴and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon, says ForeverOne; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

⁵Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of ForeverOne, ⁶even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: ForeverOne do so; ForeverOne perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of ForeverOne's house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon to this place.

⁷Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people: ⁸The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

⁹The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall happen, then shall the prophet be known, that ForeverOne has truly sent him.

¹⁰Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.

¹¹Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says ForeverOne: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. The prophet Jeremiah went his way.

¹²Then the word of ForeverOne came to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, ¹³Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says ForeverOne: You have broken the bars of wood; but you have made in their place bars of iron.

¹⁴For thus says ForeverOne of Armies, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the animals of the field also.

¹⁵Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: ForeverOne has not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie.

¹⁶Therefore thus says ForeverOne, Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against ForeverOne.

¹⁷So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Psalm 84

For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

¹How lovely are your dwellings, ForeverOne of Armies!

²My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of ForeverOne. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

³Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, ForeverOne of Armies, my King, and my God.

⁴Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.

⁵Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

⁶Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

⁷They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.

⁸ForeverOne, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.

⁹Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

¹⁰For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For ForeverOne God is a sun and a shield. ForeverOne will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

¹²ForeverOne of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Psalm 85

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

¹ForeverOne, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

²You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.

³You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.

⁴Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.

⁵Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

⁶Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

⁷Show us your loving kindness, ForeverOne. Grant us your salvation.

⁸I will hear what God, ForeverOne, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.

⁹Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

¹¹Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

¹²Yes, ForeverOne will give what is good. Our land will yield its increase.

¹³Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7

³⁶But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn't sin. Let them marry.

³⁷But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.

³⁸So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn't give her in marriage does better.

³⁹A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whoever she desires, only in the Lord.

⁴⁰But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.

1 Corinthians Chapter 8

¹Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

²But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn't yet know as he ought to know.

³But if anyone loves God is known by him.

⁴So concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

⁵For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;" ⁶yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus AnointedOne, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

⁷However, that knowledge isn't in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

⁸But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don't eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.

⁹But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.

¹⁰For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

¹¹And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake the AnointedOne died.

¹²Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against the AnointedOne.

¹³So, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will not eat meat for evermore, so that I don't cause my brother to stumble.
