Section 1

Deuteronomy 3:1-14

14 verses

Deuteronomy Chapter 3

¹Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan. Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. ²Yahweh said to me, "Don't fear him; for I have delivered him, with all his people and his land, into your hand. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."

³So Yahweh our God also delivered into our hand Og king of Bashan, and all his people. We struck him until no one was left to him remaining. ⁴We took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we didn't take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. ⁵All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, in addition to a great many villages without walls. ⁶We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. ⁷But all the livestock, and the plunder of the cities, we took as plunder for ourselves. ⁸We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon. ⁹(The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.) ¹⁰[We took] all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. ¹¹(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. Look, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron. Isn't it in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? It was nine cubit long, and four cubits wide, according to the cubit of a man.) ¹²We took possession of this land at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with its cities. I gave [it] to the Reubenites and to the Gadites; ¹³and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh- all the region of Argob, even all Bashan (which is called the land of Rephaim. ¹⁴Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)

Section 2

Ezekiel 33:10-33

24 verses

Ezekiel Chapter 33

¹⁰You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: Thus you speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them; then how can we live? ¹¹Tell them, As I live, says LordOfMine Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel?

¹²You, son of man, tell the children of your people, 'The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins. ¹³When I tell the righteous that he shall surely live; [but] if he trust to his righteousness, and commit iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered. He shall die in the iniquity that he has committed. ¹⁴Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do what is lawful and right; ¹⁵if the wicked restore the pledge, give again what he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. ¹⁶None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

¹⁷Yet the children of your people say, The way of LordOfMine is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. ¹⁸When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall die in it. ¹⁹When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does what is lawful and right, he shall live in it. ²⁰Yet you say, The way of LordOfMine is not equal. House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.'

²¹In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city has been struck. ²²Now the hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening, before he who was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.

²³The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ²⁴Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. ²⁵Therefore tell them, Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land? ²⁶You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?

²⁷You shall tell them, Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field I will give to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. ²⁸I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through. ²⁹Then shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.

³⁰As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from Yahweh. ³¹They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain. ³²Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don't do them.

³³When this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.

Section 3

Proverbs 20:7-21:3

27 verses

Proverbs Chapter 20

⁷A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him. ⁸A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes. ⁹Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?" ¹⁰Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh. ¹¹Even a child makes himself known by his actions, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right. ¹²The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them. ¹³Don't love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread. ¹⁴"It's no good, it's no good," says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts. ¹⁵There is gold and abundance of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel. ¹⁶Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman. ¹⁷Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel. ¹⁸Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war! ¹⁹He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips. ²⁰Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness. ²¹An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning, won't be blessed in the end. ²²Don't say, "I will pay back evil." Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you. ²³Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing. ²⁴A man's steps are from Yahweh; then how can man understand his way? ²⁵It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows. ²⁶A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them. ²⁷The spirit of man is Yahweh's lamp, searching all his innermost parts. ²⁸Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love. ²⁹The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair. ³⁰Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.

Proverbs Chapter 21

¹The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires. ²Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts. ³To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

Section 4

Philemon1

25 verses

Philemon

¹Paul, a prisoner of AnointedOne Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear fellow worker, ²and our sister Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house: ³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus AnointedOne.

⁴I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, ⁵hearing of your selfless-love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; ⁶that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in AnointedOne Jesus. ⁷For we have much joy and comfort in your selfless-love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

⁸So, though I have all boldness in AnointedOne to command you what is appropriate, ⁹yet for selfless-love's sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul the old man and a prisoner for Jesus AnointedOne. ¹⁰I beg you for my child, Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains, ¹¹who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me. ¹²I am sending him back. Therefore receive him who is my very heart, ¹³whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News. ¹⁴But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will. ¹⁵So perhaps he was separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, ¹⁶no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a dear brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

¹⁷If you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me; ¹⁸and if he wrongs you at all or owes you anything, put that on my account. ¹⁹I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides). ²⁰Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.

²¹Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.

²²Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

²³Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in AnointedOne Jesus, greets you, ²⁴as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

²⁵The grace of our Lord Jesus AnointedOne be with your spirit. [*Absolutely].
