NOVEMBER 14



PSALMS: 14, 44, 74, 104, 134


PROVERBS: 14


OLD TESTAMENT: EXODUS 17:8 - 19:15


NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 22:34 - 23:12



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: EXODUS 17:8 - 19:15


17:8 Then `Amalek came and fought with Yisra'el in Refidim. 9 Moshe said to Yehoshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with `Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God's rod in my hand. 10 So Yehoshua did as Moshe had told him, and fought with `Amalek; and Moshe, Aharon, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 It happened, when Moshe held up his hand, that Yisra'el prevailed; and when he let down his hand, `Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moshe' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aharon and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset. 13 Yehoshua defeated `Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 The LORD said to Moshe, "Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Yehoshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of `Amalek from under the sky." 15 Moshe built an altar, and called the name of it the LORD our Banner 16 He said, "The LORD has sworn: 'The LORD will have war with `Amalek from generation to generation.'"


18:1 Now Yitro, the Kohen of Midyan, Moshe' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moshe, and for Yisra'el his people, how that the LORD had brought Yisra'el out of Mitzrayim. 2 Yitro, Moshe' father-in-law, received Tzipporah, Moshe' wife, after he had sent her away, 3 and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moshe said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land". 4 The name of the other was Eli`ezer, for he said, "My father's God was my help and delivered me from Par`oh's sword." 5 Yitro, Moshe' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moshe into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the Mountain of God. 6 He said to Moshe, I, your father-in-law Yitro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her. 7 Moshe went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent. 8 Moshe told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Par`oh and to the Mitzrim for Yisra'el's sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how the LORD delivered them. 9 Yitro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Yisra'el, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Mitzrim. 10 Yitro said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Mitzrim, and out of the hand of Par`oh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Mitzrim. 11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods because of the thing in which they dealt arrogantly against them." 12 Yitro, Moshe' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aharon came with all of the Zakenim of Yisra'el, to eat bread with Moshe' father-in-law before God. 13 It happened on the next day, that Moshe sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moshe from the morning to the evening. 14 When Moshe' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, "What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?" 15 Moshe said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God. 16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws." 17 Moshe' father-in-law said to him, "The thing that you do is not good. 18 You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself alone. 19 Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God. 20 You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do. 21 Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 22 Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you. 23 If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all of these people also will go to their place in shalom." 24 So Moshe listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said. 25 Moshe chose able men out of all Yisra'el, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard causes to Moshe, but every small matter they judged themselves. 27 Moshe let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.


19:1 In the third month after the children of Yisra'el had gone forth out of the land of Mitzrayim, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. 2 When they had departed from Refidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Yisra'el encamped before the mountain. 3 Moshe went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, "This is what you shall tell the house of Ya`akov, and tell the children of Yisra'el: 4 'You have seen what I did to the Mitzrim, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the eretz is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of Kohanim, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Yisra'el." 7 Moshe came and called for the Zakenim of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD commanded him. 8 All the people answered together, and said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do." Moshe reported the words of the people to the LORD. 9 The LORD said to Moshe, "Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." Moshe told the words of the people to the LORD. 10 The LORD said to Moshe, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments, 11 and be ready against the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai. 12 You shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, 'Be careful that you don't go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death. 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.' When the shofar sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain."14 Moshe went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 15 He said to the people, "Be ready by the third day. Don't have sexual relations with a woman."



NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 22:34 - 23:12


22:34 But the Perushim, when they heard that he had put the Tzedukim to silence, gathered themselves together. 35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him. 36 "Teacher, which is the greatest mitzvah in the law?" 37 Yeshua said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great mitzvah. 39 A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two mitzvot." 41 Now while the Perushim were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question, 42 saying, "What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of David." 43 He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, Until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?' 45 "If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?" 46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.


23:1 Then Yeshua spoke to the multitudes and to his talmidim, 2 saying, "The Sofrim and the Perushim sat on Moshe' seat. 3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don't do their works; for they say, and don't do. 4 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them 5 But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their tefillin broad, enlarge the tzitziyot of their garments, 6 and love the chief place at feasts, the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi, Rabbi' by men. 8 But don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher, the Messiah, and all of you are brothers. 9 Call no man on the eretz your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah. 11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. 12 Whoever will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.


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."
