JULY 15



PSALMS: 15, 45, 75, 105, 135


PROVERBS: 15


OLD TESTAMENT: JEREMIAH 2:31 - 4:18


NEW TESTAMENT: COLOSSIANS 1:1 - 17



PSALMS: 15


1 LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary?

Who shall live on your holy hill? 

2 He who walks blamelessly, does what is right,

And speaks truth in his heart; 

3 He who doesn't slander with his tongue,

Nor does evil to his friend,

Nor casts slurs against his fellow man; 

4 In whose eyes a vile man is despised,

But who honors those who fear the LORD;

He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change; 

5 He who doesn't lend out his money for usury,

Nor take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be shaken.



PSALMS: 45


1 My heart overflows with a noble theme.

I recite my verses for the king.

My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer. 

2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men.

Grace has anointed your lips,

Therefore God has blessed you forever. 

3 Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty one,

Your splendor and your majesty. 

4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds. 

5 Your arrows are sharp.

The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies. 

6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever.

A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom. 

7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.

Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil

of gladness above your fellows. 

8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.

Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad. 

9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women.

At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ofir. 

10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.

Forget your own people, and also your father's house. 

11 So will the king desire your beauty,

Honor him, for he is your lord. 

12 The daughter of Tzor comes with a gift.

The rich among the people entreat your favor. 

13 The princess inside is all glorious.

Her clothing is interwoven with gold. 

14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.

The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you. 

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led.

They shall enter into the king's palace. 

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers.

You shall make them princes in all the eretz. 

17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.

Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.



PSALMS: 75


1 We give thanks to you, God,

We give thanks, for your Name is near.

Men tell about your wondrous works. 

2 When I choose the appointed time,

I will judge blamelessly. 

3 The eretz and all its inhabitants quake.

I firmly hold its pillars. Selah. 

4 I said to the arrogant,

"Don't boast;"

To the wicked,

"Don't lift up the horn. 

5 Don't lift up your horn on high.

Don't speak with a stiff neck." 

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west,

Nor yet from the south, comes exaltation. 

7 But God is the judge.

He puts down one, and lifts up another. 

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup,

Full of foaming wine mixed with spices.

He pours it out.

Indeed the wicked of the eretz drink and drink it to its very dregs. 

9 But I will declare this forever:

I will sing praises to the God of Ya`akov. 

10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,

But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.



PSALMS: 105


1 Give thanks to the LORD!

Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples. 

2 Sing to him, sing praises to him!

Tell of all his marvelous works. 

3 Glory in his holy name.

Let the heart of them rejoice who seek the LORD. 

4 Seek the LORD and his strength.

Seek his face forever more. 

5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done;

His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, 

6 You seed of Avraham, his servant,

You children of Ya`akov, his chosen ones. 

7 He is the LORD, our God.

His judgments are in all the eretz. 

8 He has remembered his covenant forever,

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

9 The covenant which he made with Avraham,

His oath to Yitzchak,

10 And confirmed the same to Ya`akov for a statute;

To Yisra'el for an everlasting covenant, 

11 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Kana`an,

The lot of your inheritance;" 

12 When they were but a few men in number,

Yes, very few, and sojourners in it. 

13 They went about from nation to nation,

From one kingdom to another people.

14 He allowed no one to do them wrong.

Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, 

15 "Don't touch my anointed ones.

Do my prophets no harm." 

16 He called for a famine on the land.

He destroyed the food supplies. 

17 He sent a man before them.

Yosef was sold for a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with shackles.

His neck was locked in irons, 

19 Until the time that his word happened,

And the LORD's word proved him true. 

20 The king sent and freed him;

Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. 

21 He made him lord of his house,

And ruler of all of his possessions; 

22 To discipline his princes at his pleasure,

And to teach his Zakenim wisdom. 

23 Yisra'el also came into Mitzrayim.

Ya`akov sojourned in the land of Ham. 

24 He increased his people greatly,

And made them stronger than their adversaries. 

25 He turned their heart to hate his people,

To conspire against his servants. 

26 He sent Moshe, his servant,

And Aharon, whom he had chosen. 

27 They performed miracles among them,

And wonders in the land of Ham. 

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark.

They didn't rebel against his words. 

29He turned their waters into blood,

And killed their fish. 

30 Their land swarmed with frogs,

Even in the chambers of their kings. 

31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, ‘

And lice in all their borders. 

32 He gave them hail for rain,

With lightning in their land. 

33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees,

And shattered the trees of their country. 

34 He spoke, and the locusts came,

And the grasshoppers, without number, 

35 Ate up every plant in their land;

Ate up the fruit of their ground. 

36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land,

The chief of all their strength. 

37 He brought them forth with silver and gold.

There was not one feeble person among his tribes. 

38Mitzrayim was glad when they departed,

For the fear of them had fallen on them. 

39 He spread a cloud for a covering,

Fire to give light in the night. 

40 They asked, and he brought quails,

And satisfied them with the bread of the sky. 

41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.

They ran as a river in the dry places. 

42 For he remembered his holy word,

And Avraham, his servant. 

43 He brought forth his people with joy,

His chosen with singing. 

44 He gave them the lands of the nations.

They took the labor of the peoples in possession, 

45 That they might keep his statutes,

And observe his laws.

Praise the LORD!



PSALMS: 135


1 Praise the LORD!

Praise the name of the LORD!

Praise him, you servants of the LORD, 

2 You who stand in the house of the LORD,

In the courts of our God's house. 

3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good.

Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant. 

4 For the LORD has chosen Ya`akov for himself;

Yisra'el for his own possession. 

5 For I know that the LORD is great,

That our Lord is above all gods. 

6 Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done,

In heaven and in eretz, in the seas and in all deeps; 

7 Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the eretz;

Who makes lightnings with the rain;

Who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries; 

8 Who struck the firstborn of Mitzrayim,

Both of man and animal; 

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you,

Mitzrayim,

On Par`oh, and on all his servants; 

10 Who struck many nations,

And killed mighty kings, 

11 Sichon king of the Amori, `Og king of Bashan,

All the kingdoms of Kana`an, 

12 And gave their land for a heritage,

A heritage to Yisra'el, his people. 

13 Your name, LORD, endures forever;

Your renown, LORD, throughout all generations. 

14 For the LORD will judge his people,

And have compassion on his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

The work of men's hands. 

16 They have mouths, but they can't speak;

They have eyes, but they can't see; 

17  They have ears, but they can't hear;

Neither is there any breath in their mouths. 

18 Those who make them will be like them;

Yes, everyone who trusts in them. 

19 House of Yisra'el, praise the LORD!

House of Aharon, praise the LORD! 

20House of Levi, praise the LORD!

You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD! 

21 Blessed be the LORD from Tziyon,

Who dwells at Yerushalayim. Praise the LORD!



PROVERBS: 15


1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,

But a harsh word stirs up anger. 

2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,

But the mouth of fools gush out folly. 

3 The LORD's eyes are everywhere,

Keeping watch on the evil and the good. 

4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life,

But deceit in it crushes the spirit. 

5 A fool despises his father's correction,

But he who heeds reproof shows prudence. 

6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure,

But the income of the wicked brings trouble. 

7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge;

Not so with the heart of fools. 

8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,

But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,

But he loves him who follows after righteousness. 

10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way:

Whoever hates reproof shall die. 

11 She'ol and Avaddon are before the LORD --

How much more then the hearts of the children of men! 

12 A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved;

He will not go to the wise. 

13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face;

But an aching heart breaks the spirit. 

14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge,

But the mouths of fools feed on folly. 

15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched,

But one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. 

16 Better is little, with the fear of the LORD,

Than great treasure with trouble. 

17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,

Than a fattened calf with hatred. 

18 A wrathful man stirs up contention,

But one who is slow to anger appeases strife. 

19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch,

But the path of the upright is a highway. 

20 A wise son makes a father glad,

But a foolish man despises his mother. 

21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom,

But a man of understanding keeps his way straight. 

22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail;

But in a multitude of counselors they are established. 

23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth.

How good is a word at the right time!

24 The path of life leads upward for the wise,

To keep him from going downward to She'ol. 

25 The LORD will uproot the house of the proud,

But he will keep the widow's borders intact. 

26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked,

But the thoughts of the pure are pleasing. 

27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,

But he who hates bribes will live. 

28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers,

But the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil. 

29 The LORD is far from the wicked,

But he hears the prayer of the righteous. 

30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart.

Good news gives health to the bones. 

31 The ear that listens to the reproof lives,

And will be at home among the wise. 

32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul,

But he who listens to reproof gets understanding. 

33 The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom.

Before honor is humility.



OLD TESTAMENT: JEREMIAH 2:31 - 4:18


2:31 Generation, see the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Yisra'el? or a land of thick darkness? why say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more to you? 32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. 33 How trimmest you your way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women have you taught your ways. 34 Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: you did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things. 35 Yet you said, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with you, because you say, I have not sinned. 36 Why go you about so much to change your way? you shall be ashamed of Mitzrayim also, as you were ashamed of Ashshur. 37 From there also shall you go forth, with your hands on your head: for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them.


3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, will he return to her again? Won't that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me, says the LORD. 2 Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see; where have you not been lain with? By the ways have you sat for them, as an `Aravian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness. 3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; yet you have a prostitute's forehead, you refused to be ashamed. 4 Will you not from this time cry to me, My Father, you are the guide of my youth? 5 Will he retain [his anger] forever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way. 6 Moreover the LORD said to me in the days of Yoshiyahu the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Yisra'el has done? she is gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the prostitute. 7 I said after she had done all these things, She will return to me; but she didn't return: and her treacherous sister Yehudah saw it. 8 I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Yisra'el had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce, yet treacherous Yehudah, her sister, didn't fear; but she also went and played the prostitute. 9 It happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 10Yet for all this her treacherous sister Yehudah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense, says the LORD. 11 The LORD said to me, Backsliding Yisra'el has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Yehudah. 12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, you backsliding Yisra'el, says the LORD; I will not look in anger on you; for I am merciful, says the LORD, I will not keep [anger] forever. 13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice, says the LORD. 14 Return, backsliding children, says the LORD; for I am a husband to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Tziyon: 15 and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. 16 It shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more. 17 At that time they shall call Yerushalayim the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Yerushalayim: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart. 18 In those days the house of Yehudah shall walk with the house of Yisra'el, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers. 19 But I said, How I will put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! and I said, You shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me. 20 Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you dealt treacherously with me, house of Yisra'el, says the LORD. 21 A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping [and] the petitions of the children of Yisra'el; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.22 Return, you backsliding children, I will heal your backsliding. Behold, we are come to you; for you are the LORD our God. 23 Truly in vain is [the help that is looked for] from the hills, the tumult on the mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Yisra'el. 24 But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day; and we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.


4:1 If you will return, Yisra'el, says the LORD, if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you shall not be removed; 2 and you shall swear, As the LORD lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. 3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Yehudah and to Yerushalayim, Break up your fallow ground, and don't sow among thorns. 4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Yehudah and inhabitants of Yerushalayim; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 5 Declare you in Yehudah, and publish in Yerushalayim; and say, Blow you the shofar in the land: cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities. 6 Set up a standard toward Tziyon: flee for safety, don't stay; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. 7 A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant. 8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD hasn't turned back from us. 9 It shall happen at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the Kohanim shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. 10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Yerushalayim, saying, You shall have shalom; whereas the sword reaches to the life. 11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Yerushalayim, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse; 12 a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them. 13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are ruined. 14 Yerushalayim, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you? 15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Efrayim: 16 make you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Yerushalayim, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Yehudah. 17 As keepers of a field are they against her round about, because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD. 18 Your way and your doings have procured these things to you; this is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.



NEW TESTAMENT: COLOSSIANS 1:1 - 17


1:1 Sha'ul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 

2 To the holy ones and faithful brothers in Messiah [who are] at Colossae: Grace to you and shalom from God, our Father, and the Lord, Yeshua the Messiah. 

3 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, praying always for you, 

4 having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua, and of the love which you have toward all the holy ones, 

5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News, 

6 which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and increasing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 

7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Messiah on our behalf, 

8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. 

9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don't cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 

10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 

11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, to all patience and perseverance with joy; 

12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light; 

13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; 

14 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins; 

15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 

16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the eretz, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and to him. 

17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.


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."
