Bible Reading for August 12

Jeremiah 24
[1] The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the
temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away
captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah,
with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to
Babylon.
[2] One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and
the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so
bad.
[3] Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs;
the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they
are so evil.
[4] Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [5] Thus saith the LORD,
the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are
carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land
of the Chaldeans for their good. [6] For I will set mine eyes upon them for
good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not
pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
[7] And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they
shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with
their whole heart.
[8] And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus
saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and
the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the
land of Egypt:
[9] And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth
for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all
places whither I shall drive them.
[10] And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them,
till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their
fathers.

Jeremiah 25
[1] The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the
fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first
year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; [2] The which Jeremiah the prophet
spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
saying, [3] From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah,
even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD
hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but
ye have not hearkened.
[4] And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early
and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
[5] They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil
of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to
your fathers for ever and ever: [6] And go not after other gods to serve them,
and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands;
and I will do you no hurt.
[7] Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me
to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. [8] Therefore thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
[9] Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD,
and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against
this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations
round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and
an hissing, and perpetual desolations. [10] Moreover I will take from them the
voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the
voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
[11] And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these
nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. [12] And it shall come
to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of
Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of
the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
[13] And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced
against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath
prophesied against all the nations. [14] For many nations and great kings shall
serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their
deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
[15] For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this
fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
[16] And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that
I will send among them.
[17] Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink,
unto whom the LORD had sent me: [18] To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of
Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a
desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
[19] Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his
people;
[20] And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all
the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron,
and the remnant of Ashdod,
[21] Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, [22] And all the kings of
Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond
the sea, [23] Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
[24] And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that
dwell in the desert,
[25] And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings
of the Medes,
[26] And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all
the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king
of Sheshach shall drink after them. [27] Therefore thou shalt say unto them,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and
spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among
you. [28] And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to
drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall
certainly drink.
[29] For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and
should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call
for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
[30] Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them,
The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation;
he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that
tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
[31] A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a
controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them
that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. [32] Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind
shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
[33] And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth
even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither
gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. [34] Howl, ye
shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the
flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished;
and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. [35] And the shepherds shall have no
way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
[36] A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of
the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture. [37] And
the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
[38] He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate
because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

Jeremiah 26
[1] In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah
came this word from the LORD, saying, [2] Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the
court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come
to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto
them; diminish not a word: [3] If so be they will hearken, and turn every man
from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto
them because of the evil of their doings.
[4] And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken
to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, [5] To hearken to the
words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early,
and sending them, but ye have not hearkened; [6] Then will I make this house
like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
[7] So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking
these words in the house of the LORD. [8] Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah
had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto
all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him,
saying, Thou shalt surely die. [9] Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the
LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate
without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the
house of the LORD. [10] When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they
came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the
entry of the new gate of the LORD's house.
[11] Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the
people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this
city, as ye have heard with your ears. [12] Then spake Jeremiah unto all the
princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against
this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
[13] Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the
LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced
against you.
[14] As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet
unto you.
[15] But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring
innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants
thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words
in your ears.
[16] Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the
prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name
of the LORD our God.
[17] Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the
assembly of the people, saying,
[18] Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and
spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion
shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the
mountains of the house as the high places of a forest. [19] Did Hezekiah king
of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and
besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had
pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
[20] And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah
the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and
against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah: [21] And when
Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his
words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was
afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt; [22] And Jehoiakim the king sent men
into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into
Egypt. [23] And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto
Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into
the graves of the common people.
[24] Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that
they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
