PSALMS:
22
1 My
God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why
are you so far from helping me,
and
from the words of my groaning?
2 My
God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer;
In
the night season, and am not silent.
3 But
you are holy,
You
who inhabit the praises of Yisra'el.
4 Our
fathers trusted in you.
They
trusted, and you delivered them.
5 They
cried to you, and were delivered.
They
trusted in you, and were not put to shame.
6 But
I am a worm, and no man;
A
reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7 All
those who see me mock me.
They
insult me with their lips.
They
shake their heads, saying,
8
"He
trusts in the LORD; Let him deliver him;
Let
him rescue him, since he delights in him."
9 But
you brought me out of the womb.
You
made me trust at my mother's breasts.
10 I
was thrown on you from my mother's womb.
You
are my God since my mother bore me.
11
Don't
be far from me, for trouble is near.
For
there is none to help.
12 Many
bulls have surrounded me.
Strong
bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13 They
open their mouths wide against me,
Lions
tearing prey and roaring.
14 I
am poured out like water.
All
my bones are out of joint.
My
heart is like wax;
It
is melted within me.
15
My
strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My
tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You
have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For
dogs have surrounded me.
A
company of evil-doers have enclosed me.
They
pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I
can count all of my bones.
They
look and stare at me.
18 They
divide my garments among them.
They
cast lots for my clothing.
19 But
don't be far off, LORD.
You
are my help: hurry to help me.
20 Deliver
my soul from the sword,
My
precious life from the power of the dog.
21 Save
me from the lion's mouth;
Yes,
from the horns of the wild oxen you have answered me.
22 I
will declare your name to my brothers.
In
the midst of the assembly, will I praise you.
23 You
who fear the LORD, praise him!
All
you descendants of Ya`akov, glorify him!
Stand
in awe of him, all you descendants of Yisra'el!
24 For
he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,
Neither
has he hid his face from him;
But
when he cried to him, he heard.
25 Of
you comes my praise in the great assembly.
I
will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26 The
humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They
shall praise the LORD who seek after him.
Let
your hearts live forever.
27 All
the ends of the eretz shall remember and turn to the LORD.
All
the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28 For
the kingdom is the LORD's.
He
is the ruler over the nations.
29 All
the rich ones of the eretz shall eat and worship.
All
those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,
Even
he who can't keep his soul alive.
30 Posterity
shall serve him.
Future
generations shall be told about the Lord.
31 They
shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that
shall be born, For he has done it.
PSALMS:
52
1 Why
do you boast of mischief, mighty man?
God's
loving kindness endures continually.
He
will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent,
And
root you out of the land of the living.
Selah.
But
trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And
strengthened himself in his wickedness."
I
trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.
I
will hope in your name, for it is good,
In
the presence of your holy ones.
PSALMS:

1 God
presides in the great assembly.
He
judges among the gods.
They
walk back and forth in darkness.
All
the foundations of the eretz are shaken.
For
you inherit all of the nations.
PSALMS:
112
1 Praise
the LORD!
Blessed
is the man who fears the LORD,
Who
delights greatly in his mitzvot.
His
righteousness endures forever.
His
horn will be exalted with honor.
He
shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away.
The
desire of the wicked will perish.
PSALMS:
142
1 I
cry with my voice to the LORD.
With
my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.
You
knew my path.
In
the way in which I walk,
They
have hidden a snare for me.
For
there is no one who is concerned for me.
Refuge
has fled from me.
No
one cares for my soul.
For
I am in desperate need.
Deliver
me from my persecutors,
For
they are stronger than me.
That
I may give thanks to your name.
The
righteous will surround me,
For
you will be good to me.
PROVERBS:

1 A
good name is more desirable than great riches;
Loving
favor rather than silver and gold.
Both
come to poverty.
OLD
TESTAMENT:
JEREMIAH 16:16 - 18:23
16:16 Behold,
I will send for many fishermen, says the LORD, and they shall fish
them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall
hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the
clefts of the rocks. 17
For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face,
neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes. 18 First
I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they
have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things,
and have filled my inheritance with their abominations. 19 LORD,
my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the eretz,
and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, [even]
vanity and things in which there is no profit. 20 Shall
a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods? 21
Therefore,
behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to
know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is the
LORD.
17:1 The
sin of Yehudah is written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of
a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the
horns of your altars; 2 while
their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green
trees on the high hills. 3 My
mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your
treasures for a spoil, [and] your high places, because of sin,
throughout all your borders. 4 You,
even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave
you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you
don't know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn
forever. 5 Thus
says the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh
his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD. 6 For
he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good
comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt
land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed
is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose trust the LORD is. 8 For
he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its
roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf
shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The
heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt:
who can know it? 10 I,
the LORD, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man
according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As
the partridge that sits on [eggs] which she has not laid, so is he
who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they
shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool. 12 A
glorious throne, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of
our sanctuary. 13
LORD,
the hope of Yisra'el, all who forsake you shall be put to shame.
Those who depart from me shall be written in the eretz, because they
have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living waters. 14 Heal
me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for
you are my praise. 15 Behold,
they tell me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now. 16 As
for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither
have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my
lips was before your face. 17
Don't be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil. 18 Let
them be put to shame who persecute me, but let not me be put to
shame; let them be dismayed, but don't let me be dismayed; bring on
them the day of evil, and destroy them with double
destruction. 19 Thus
said the LORD to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the
people, whereby the kings of Yehudah come in, and by which they go
out, and in all the gates of Yerushalayim; 20 and
tell them, Hear you the word of the LORD, you kings of Yehudah, and
all Yehudah, and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, that enter in
by these gates: 21 Thus
says the LORD, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the day
of Shabbat, nor bring it in by the gates of Yerushalayim; 22 neither
carry forth a burden out of your houses on the day of Shabbat holy,
neither do any work: but make the day of Shabbat, as I commanded your
fathers. 23 But
they didn't listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck
stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive
instruction. 24 It
shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says the LORD, to bring
in no burden through the gates of this city on the day of Shabbat,
but to make the day of Shabbat holy, to do no work therein; 25 then
shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes
sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses,
they, and their princes, the men of Yehudah, and the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim; and this city shall remain forever. 26
They
shall come from the cities of Yehudah, and from the places round
about Yerushalayim, and from the land of Binyamin, and from the
lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing
burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal-offerings, and
frankincense, and bringing [sacrifices of] thanksgiving, to the house
of the LORD. 27
But if you will not listen to me to make the day of Shabbat holy, and
not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Yerushalayim on the
day of Shabbat; then will I kindle a fire in the gates of it, and it
shall devour the palaces of Yerushalayim, and it shall not be
quenched.
18:1 The
word which came to Yirmeyahu from the LORD, saying, 2 Arise,
and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear
my words. 3 Then
I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was making a work
on the wheels. 4
When
the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the
potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter
to make it. 5 Then
the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 House
of Yisra'el, can't I do with you as this potter? says the LORD.
Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand,
house of Yisra'el. 7 At
what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a
kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it; 8 if
that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I
will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
9
At
what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a
kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 if
they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice,
then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit
them. 11 Now
therefore, speak to the men of Yehudah, and to the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim, saying, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I frame evil
against you, and devise a device against you: return you now everyone
from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings. 12 But
they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and
we will do everyone after the stubbornness of his evil
heart. 13 Therefore
thus says the LORD: Ask you now among the nations, who has heard such
things; the virgin of Yisra'el has done a very horrible
thing. 14 Shall
the snow of Levanon fail from the rock of the field? [or] shall the
cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up? 15 For
my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false
[gods]; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the
ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up; 16 to
make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone
who passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head. 17 I
will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show
them the back, and not the face, in the day of their
calamity. 18 Then
said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Yirmeyahu; for the
law shall not perish from the Kohen, nor counsel from the wise, nor
the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the
tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words. 19 Give
heed to me, LORD, and listen to the voice of those who contend with
me. 20 Shall
evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul.
Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away
your wrath from them. 21 Therefore
deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the
power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows;
and let their men be slain of death, [and] their young men struck of
the sword in battle. 22 Let
a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop
suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares
for my feet. 23 Yet,
LORD, you know all their counsel against me to kill me; don't forgive
their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight; but let
them be overthrown before you; deal you with them in the time of your
anger.
NEW
TESTAMENT:
1 THESSALONIANS 4:1 - 5:3
4:1 Finally
then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Yeshua, that, as
you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, -- that
you abound more and more. 2 For
you know what charge we gave you through the Lord Yeshua. 3 For
this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from
sexual immorality, 4 that
each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in
sanctification and honor, 5 not
in the passion of lust, even as the Goyim who don't know God; 6 that
no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this
matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also
we forewarned you and testified. 7
For God called us not for uncleanness, but in
sanctification. 8 Therefore
he who rejects, doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his
Ruach HaKodesh to you. 9 But
concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you.
For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another, 10 for
indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia.
But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more; 11and
that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your
own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we charged
you; 12 that
you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need
of nothing. 13 But
we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have
fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no
hope. 14 For
if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so those who have
fallen asleep in Yeshua will God bring with him. 15 For
this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who
are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who
have fallen asleep. 16 For
the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the chief angel, and with God's shofar. The dead in Messiah
will rise first, 17 then
we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the
Lord forever. 18 Therefore
comfort one another with these words.
5:1 But
concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that
anything be written to you. 2 For
you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief
in the night. 3 For
when they are saying, "Shalom and safety," then sudden
destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman;
and they will in no way escape.
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."
