Jeremiah Chapter 22

⁸Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has Yahweh done thus to this great city? ⁹Then they shall answer, Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh 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 Yahweh says 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 Yahweh. 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 Yahweh says 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 Yahweh, 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 to which 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 Yahweh. ³⁰Yahweh says, "Record this man as 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 Yahweh. ²Therefore Yahweh the God of Israel says, 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 actions," says Yahweh. ³"I 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, nor will any be lacking, says Yahweh.

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 Yah's deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old. ¹²I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your actions. 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.

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 selflessly-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 [to be] judged by no one. ¹⁶"For who has known the mind of ForeverOne, that he should instruct him?" But we have AnointedOne's mind.
