Bible Reading for August 13

Jeremiah 27
[1] In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah
came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, [2] Thus saith the LORD to
me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
[3] And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king
of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the
hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
[4] And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; [5] I have made the
earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by
my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
[6] And now have I given all these lands unto the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also
to serve him.
[7] And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the
very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve
themselves of him.
[8] And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve
the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck
under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the
LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I
have consumed them by his hand. [9] Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets,
nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your
sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of
Babylon: [10] For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your
land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish. [11] But the
nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve
him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they
shall till it, and dwell therein. [12] I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah
according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the
king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
[13] Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by
the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve
the king of Babylon?
[14] Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you,
saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto
you.
[15] For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my
name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the
prophets that prophesy unto you.
[16] Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the
LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying,
Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from
Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. [17] Hearken not unto them; serve
the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
[18] But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let
them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are
left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at
Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
[19] For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning
the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels
that remain in this city,
[20] Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away
captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon,
and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; [21] Yea, thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of
the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
[22] They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day
that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them
to this place.

Jeremiah 28
[1] And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of
Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that
Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the
house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people,
saying,
[2] Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken
the yoke of the king of Babylon. [3] Within two full years will I bring again
into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king
of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: [4] And I
will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah,
with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I
will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. [5] Then the prophet Jeremiah said
unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence
of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,
[6] Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy
words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD's
house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
[7] Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the
ears of all the people;
[8] The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied
both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil,
and of pestilence.
[9] The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall
come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent
him.
[10] Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's
neck, and brake it.
[11] And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith
the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from
the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet
Jeremiah went his way.
[12] Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that
Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet
Jeremiah, saying,
[13] Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the
yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. [14] For thus saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck
of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and
they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
[15] Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now,
Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in
a lie.
[16] Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face
of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion
against the LORD.
[17] So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Jeremiah 29
[1] Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from
Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and
to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar
had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon; [2] (After that Jeconiah
the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem,
and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
[3] By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah,
(whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon) saying,
[4] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried
away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto
Babylon;
[5] Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of
them;
[6] Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons,
and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters;
that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. [7] And seek the peace of
the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto
the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
[8] For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets
and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to
your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. [9] For they prophesy falsely unto
you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
[10] For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at
Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you
to return to this place.
[11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [12] Then shall ye call
upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
[13] And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all
your heart.
[14] And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your
captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places
whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the
place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. [15] Because ye have
said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon; [16] Know that thus saith
the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the
people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth
with you into captivity; [17] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send
upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like
vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
[18] And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the
pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the
earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach,
among all the nations whither I have driven them: [19] Because they have not
hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants
the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith
the LORD. [20] Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity,
whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon: [21] Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of
Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them
into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before
your eyes; [22] And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of
Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like
Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; [23] Because they have
committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours'
wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them;
even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.
[24] Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, [25] Thus
speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent
letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah
the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
[26] The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that
ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and
maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the
stocks.
[27] Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which
maketh himself a prophet to you?
[28] For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long:
build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of
them.
[29] And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the
prophet.
[30] Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, [31] Send to all
them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the
Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not,
and he caused you to trust in a lie: [32] Therefore thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have
a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will
do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the
LORD.
