Genesis 1:1 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 

JULY 14


PSALMS: 14, 44, 74, 104, 134

PROVERBS: 14

OLD TESTAMENT: JEREMIAH 1:1 - 2:30

NEW TESTAMENT: PHILIPPIANS 4:1 - 23


PSALMS: 14

1 The fool has said in his heart,
"There is no God.
" They are corrupt, they have done abominable works.
There is none who does good. 
2 The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men,
To see if there were any who did understand,
Who did seek after God. 
3 They have all gone aside;
they have together become corrupt.
There is none who does good, no, not one. 
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And don't call on the LORD? 
5 There were they in great fear,
For God is in the generation of the righteous. 
6 You put to shame the counsel of the poor,
Because the LORD is his refuge. 
7 Oh that the yeshu`ah of Yisra'el would come out of Tziyon!
When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,
Then Ya`akov shall rejoice, and Yisra'el shall be glad.


PSALMS: 44

1 We have heard with our ears,
God; Our fathers have told us,
What work you did in their days,
In the days of old. 
2 You drove out the nations with your hand,
But you planted them.
You afflicted the peoples,
But you spread them abroad. 
3 For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword,
Neither did their own arm save them;
But your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face,
Because you were favorable to them. 
4 You are my King, God.
Command victories for Ya`akov! 
5 Through you, will we push down our adversaries.
Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us. 
6 For I will not trust in my bow,
Neither shall my sword save me. 
7 But you have saved us from our adversaries,
And have put them to shame who hate us. 
8 In God have we made our boast all day long,
We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor,
And don't go out with our armies. 
10 You make us turn back from the adversary.
Those who hate us take spoil for themselves. 
11 You have made us like sheep for food,
And have scattered us among the nations. 
12You sell your people for nothing,
And have gained nothing from their sale. 
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and a derision to those who are round about us. 
14 You make us a byword among the nations,
A shaking of the head among the peoples. 
15 All day long is my dishonor before me,
And shame covers my face,
16 At the taunt of one who reproaches and reviles,
Because of the enemy and the avenger. 
17 All this has come on us,
Yet have we not forgotten you,
Neither have we been false to your covenant. 
18 Our heart has not turned back,
Neither have our steps declined from your way, 
19 That you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals,
And covered us with the shadow of death. 
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,
Or spread forth our hands to a strange god; 
21 Won't God search this out?
For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yes, for your sake are we killed all day long.
We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter. 
23 Wake up!
Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise!
Don't reject us forever. 
24 Why do you hide your face,
And forget our affliction and our oppression? 
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust.
Our body cleaves to the eretz. 
26 Rise up to help us.
Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.


PSALMS: 74

1 God, why have you rejected us forever?
Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? 
2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old,
Which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance;
Mount Tziyon, in which you have lived. 
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins,
All the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary. 
4 Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly.
They have set up their standards as signs. 
5 They behaved like men wielding axes,
Cutting through a thicket of trees. 
6 Now all its carved work
They break down with hatchet and hammers. 
7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground.
They have profaned the dwelling-place of your Name. 
8 They said in their heart,
"We will crush them completely.
" They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped. 
9 We see no miraculous signs.
There is no longer any prophet,
Neither is there among us anyone who knows how long. 
10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach?
Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever? 
11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand?
Take it out of your pocket and consume them! 
12 Yet God is my King of old,
Working salvation in the midst of the eretz. 
13 You divided the sea by your strength.
You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters. 
14 You broke the heads of Livyatan in pieces.
You gave him as food to people and desert creatures. 
15 You opened up spring and stream.
You dried up mighty rivers. 
16 The day is yours, the night is also yours.
You have prepared the light and the sun. 
17 You have set all the boundaries of the eretz.
You have made summer and winter. 
18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, LORD.
Foolish people have blasphemed your name. 
19 Don't deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts.
Don't forget the life of your poor forever. 
20 Honor your covenant,
For haunts of violence fill the dark places of the eretz. 
21 Don't let the oppressed return ashamed.
Let the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Arise, God! Plead your own cause.
Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day. 
23 Don't forget the voice of your adversaries.
The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.


PSALMS: 104

1 Bless the LORD, my soul.
The LORD, my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with honor and majesty. 
2 He covers himself with light as with a garment.
He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. 
3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot.
He walks on the wings of the wind. 
4He makes his messengers winds;
His servants flames of fire. 
5 He laid the foundations of the eretz,
That it should not be moved forever.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak.
The waters stood above the mountains. 
7 At your rebuke they fled.
At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. 
8 The mountains rose,
The valleys sank down,
To the place which you had assigned to them. 
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over;
That they don't turn again to cover the eretz. 
10 He sends forth springs into the valleys.
They run among the mountains. 
11 They give drink to every animal of the field.
The wild donkeys quench their thirst. 
12 The birds of the sky nest by them.
They sing among the branches. 
13 He waters the mountains from his chambers.
The eretz is filled with the fruit of your works. 
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And plants for man to cultivate,
That he may bring forth food out of the eretz: 
15Wine that makes glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face to shine,
And bread that strengthens man's heart. 
16 The LORD's trees are well watered,
The cedars of Levanon, which he has planted; 
17 Where the birds make their nests.
The stork makes its home in the fir trees. 
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats.
The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. 
19 He appointed the moon for seasons.
The sun knows when to set. 
20 You make darkness, and it is night,
In which all the animals of the forest prowl. 
21 The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God. 
22 The sun rises, and they steal away,
And lay down in their dens. 
23 Man goes forth to his work,
To his labor until the evening. 
24 The LORD, how many are your works!
In wisdom have you made them all.
The eretz is full of your riches. 
25 There is the sea, great and wide,
In which are innumerable living things,
Both small and great animals. 
26 There the ships go,
And livyatan, whom you formed to play there. 
27 These all wait for you,
That you may give them their food in due season. 
28 You give to them; they gather.
You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. 
29 You hide your face: they are troubled;
You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust. 
30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created.
You renew the face of the ground. 
31 Let the glory of the LORD endure forever.
Let the LORD rejoice in his works. 
32 He looks at the eretz, and it trembles.
He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 
33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live.
I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34 Let your meditation be sweet to him.
I will rejoice in the LORD.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the eretz.
Let the wicked be no more.
Bless the LORD, my soul.
Praise the LORD!


PSALMS: 134

1 Look! Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD,
Who stand by night in the LORD's house! 
2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary.
Praise the LORD! 
3 May the LORD bless you from Tziyon;
Even he who made heaven and eretz.


PROVERBS: 14

1 Every wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish one tears it down with her own hands. 
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD,
But he who is perverse in his ways despises him. 
3 The fool's talk brings a rod to his back,
But the lips of the wise protect them. 
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean,
But much increase is by the strength of the ox. 
5 A truthful witness will not lie,
But a false witness pours out lies. 
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn't find it,
But knowledge comes easily to a discerning person. 
7 Stay away from a foolish man,
For you won't find knowledge on his lips. 
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way,
But the folly of fools is deceit. 
9 Fools mock at making atonement for sins,
But among the upright there is good will. 
10 The heart knows its own bitterness and joy;
He will not share these with a stranger. 
11 The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will flourish. 
12There is a way which seems right to a man,
But in the end it leads to death. 
13 Even in laughter the heart may be sorrowful,
And mirth may end in heaviness. 
14 The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways;
Likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways. 
15 The simple believes everything,
But the prudent man carefully considers his ways. 
16 A wise man fears, and shuns evil,
But the fool is hotheaded and reckless. 
17 He who is quick to become angry will commit folly,
And a crafty man is hated. 
18 The simple inherit folly,
But the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 
19 The evil bow down before the good,
And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous. 
20 The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor,
But the rich person has many friends. 
21 He who despises his neighbor sins,
But blessed is he who has pity on the poor. 
22 Don't they go astray who plot evil?
But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good. 
23 In all hard work there is profit,
But the talk of the lips leads only to poverty. 
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
But the folly of fools crowns them with folly. 
25 A truthful witness saves souls,
But a false witness is deceitful. 
26 In the fear of the LORD is a secure fortress,
And he will be a refuge for his children. 
27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,
Turning people from the snares of death. 
28 In the multitude of people is the king's glory,
But in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince. 
29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
But he who has a quick temper displays folly. 
30 The life of the body is a heart at shalom,
But envy rots the bones. 
31 He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker,
But he who is kind to the needy honors him. 
32 The wicked is brought down in his calamity,
But in death, the righteous has a refuge. 
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,
And is even made known in the inward part of fools.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people. 
35 The king's favor is toward a servant who deals wisely,
But his wrath is toward one who causes shame.


OLD TESTAMENT: JEREMIAH 1:1 - 2:30

1:1 The words of Yirmeyahu the son of Hilkiyah, of the Kohanim who were in `Anatot in the land of Binyamin: 2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Yoshiyahu the son of Amon, king of Yehudah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Yehoiakim the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Yehudah, to the end of the eleventh year of Tzidkiyahu, the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Yehudah, to the carrying away of Yerushalayim captive in the fifth month. 4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I don't know how to speak; for I am a child. 7  But the LORD said to me, Don't say, I am a child; for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak. 8 Don't be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth: 10 behold, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant. 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Yirmeyahu, what see you? I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.12 Then said the LORD to me, You have well seen: for I watch over my word to perform it. 13 The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What see you? I said, I see a boiling caldron; and the face of it is from the north. 14 Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For, behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set everyone his throne at the entrance of the gates of Yerushalayim, and against all the walls of it round about, and against all the cities of Yehudah. 16 I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands. 17  You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you: don't be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them. 18 For, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Yehudah, against the princes of it, against the Kohanim of it, and against the people of the land.19 They shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you, says the LORD, to deliver you.

2:1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 Go, and cry in the ears of Yerushalayim, saying, Thus says the LORD, I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 3 Yisra'el [was] holiness to the LORD, the first fruits of his increase: all who devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come on them, says the LORD. 4 Hear you the word of the LORD, O house of Ya`akov, and all the families of the house of Yisra'el: 5 thus says the LORD, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD who brought us up out of the land of Mitzrayim, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man lived? 7 I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat the fruit of it and the goodness of it; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination. 8 The Kohanim didn't say, Where is the LORD? and those who handle the law didn't know me: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Ba`al, and walked after things that do not profit. 9 Therefore I will yet contend with you, says the LORD, and with your children's children will I contend. 10 For pass over to the isles of Kittiyim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing. 11 Has a nation changed [its] gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit. 12 Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate, says the LORD. 13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 14 Is Yisra'el a servant? is he a home-born [slave]? why is he become a prey? 15 The young lions have roared on him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant. 16 The children also of Mof and Tachpanches have broken the crown of your head. 17 Haven't you procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you by the way? 18 Now what have you to do in the way to Mitzrayim, to drink the waters of the Shichor? or what have you to do in the way to Ashshur, to drink the waters of the River? 19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord, the LORD of Hosts. 20 For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds; and you said, I will not serve; for on every high hill and under every green tree you did bow yourself, playing the prostitute. 21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then are you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me? 22For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me, says the Lord GOD. 23 How can you say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Ba`alim? see your way in the valley, know what you have done: [you are] a swift dromedary traversing her ways; 24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all those who seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her. 25 Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst: but you said, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. 26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Yisra'el ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their Kohanim, and their prophets; 27 who tell a stock, You are my father; and to a stone, You have brought me forth: for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. 28 But where are your gods that you have made you? let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, Yehudah. 29 Why will you contend with me? you all have transgressed against me, says the LORD. 30 In vain have I struck your children; they received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.


NEW TESTAMENT: PHILIPPIANS 4:1 - 23

4:1 Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved. 
2 I exhort Evodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord. 
3 Yes, I beg you also, true yoke-fellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life. 
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice! 
5 Let your mildness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 
6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 
7  The shalom of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Messiah Yeshua. 
8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.
9 The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of shalom will be with you. 
10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity. 
11 Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. 
12 I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. 
13 I can do all things through Messiah, who strengthens me. 
14 However you did well that you had fellowship with my affliction. 
15 You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only. 
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need. 
17 Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account. 
18 But I have all things, and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God. 
19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Messiah Yeshua. 
20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amein. 
21 Greet every holy one in Messiah Yeshua. The brothers who are with me greet you. 
22 All the holy ones greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household. 
23 The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you all. Amein.

 John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, F that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.G 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
