Numbers Chapter 10

²⁹Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place of which ForeverOne said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well; for ForeverOne has spoken good concerning Israel." ³⁰He said to him, "I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives." ³¹He said, "Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

³²It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good ForeverOne does to us, we will do the same to you." ³³They set forward from the Mount of ForeverOne three days' journey. The ark of the covenant of ForeverOne went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

³⁴The cloud of ForeverOne was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

³⁵It happened, when the ark went forward, that Moses said, "Rise up, ForeverOne, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you flee before you!" ³⁶When it rested, he said, "Return, ForeverOne, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel."

Numbers Chapter 11

Jeremiah Chapter 29

²⁴Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying, ²⁵Thus speaks ForeverOne of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying, ²⁶ForeverOne has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the house of ForeverOne, for every man who is mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.

²⁷Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you, ²⁸because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, [The captivity] is long: build houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them?

²⁹Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

³⁰Then came the word of ForeverOne to Jeremiah, saying, ³¹Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus says ForeverOne concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn't send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie; ³²therefore thus says ForeverOne, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he see the good that I will do to my people, says ForeverOne, because he has spoken rebellion against ForeverOne.

Jeremiah Chapter 30

¹The word that came to Jeremiah from ForeverOne, saying, ²Thus speaks ForeverOne, the God of Israel, saying, Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.

³For, behold, the days come, says ForeverOne, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says ForeverOne; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

⁴These are the words that ForeverOne spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

⁵For thus says ForeverOne: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

⁶Ask now, and see whether a man does travail with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

⁷Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

⁸It shall come to pass in that day, says ForeverOne of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondservant; ⁹but they shall serve ForeverOne their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

¹⁰Therefore don't you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says ForeverOne; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

¹¹For I am with you, says ForeverOne, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.

¹²For thus says ForeverOne, Your hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous.

¹³There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.

¹⁴All your lovers have forgotten you; they don't seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.

¹⁵Why do you cry for your hurt? Your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

¹⁶Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who despoil you shall be a spoil, and all who prey on you will I give for a prey.

¹⁷For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says ForeverOne; because they have called you an outcast, [saying], It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

Psalm 88

A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite.

¹ForeverOne, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

²Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.

³For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.

⁴I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help, ⁵set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.

⁶You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

⁷Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

⁸You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.

⁹My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, ForeverOne. I have spread out my hands to you.

¹⁰Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah.

¹¹Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

¹²Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³But to you, ForeverOne, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.

¹⁴ForeverOne, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

¹⁵I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

¹⁶Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.

¹⁷They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.

¹⁸You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.

1 Corinthians Chapter 9

²³Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

²⁴Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

²⁵Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a temporary crown, but we- a permanent one.

²⁶So I run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air, ²⁷but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

1 Corinthians Chapter 10

¹Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; ²and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; ³and all ate the same spiritual food; ⁴and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was the AnointedOne.

⁵However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

⁷Don't be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play." ⁸Let's not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.

⁹Let's not test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.

¹⁰Don't grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

¹¹Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

¹²So let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall.

¹³No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
