Bible Reading for July 22

Isaiah 46
[1] Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon
the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary
beast.
[2] They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but
themselves are gone into captivity. [3] Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and
all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly,
which are carried from the womb:
[4] And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you:
I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. [5] To
whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
[6] They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire
a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. [7]
They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and
he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him,
yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. [8] Remember this, and
shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
[9] Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I
am God, and there is none like me, [10] Declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel
shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
[11] Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel
from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have
purposed it, I will also do it. [12] Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are
far from righteousness: [13] I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far
off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for
Israel my glory.

Isaiah 47
[1] Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the
ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more
be called tender and delicate. [2] Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover
thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. [3] Thy
nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take
vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. [4] As for our redeemer, the LORD
of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
[5] Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans:
for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. [6] I was wroth with my
people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou
didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy
yoke.
[7] And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay
these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. [8]
Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest
carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall
not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: [9] But these
two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and
widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of
thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
[10] For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me.
Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in
thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. [11] Therefore shall evil come upon
thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon
thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee
suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
[12] Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy
sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be
able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. [13] Thou art wearied in the
multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon
thee. [14] Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they
shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a
coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. [15] Thus shall they be unto thee
with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall
wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

Isaiah 48
[1] Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and
are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD,
and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
[2] For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God
of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name. [3] I have declared the former things
from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I
did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
[4] Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and
thy brow brass;
[5] I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass
I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my
graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. [6] Thou hast heard,
see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from
this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
[7] They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when
thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. [8] Yea,
thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear
was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast
called a transgressor from the womb. [9] For my name's sake will I defer mine
anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. [10]
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the
furnace of affliction.
[11] For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my
name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another. [12] Hearken unto
me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
[13] Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand
hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. [14]
All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these
things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his
arm shall be on the Chaldeans. [15] I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called
him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
[16] Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the
beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his
Spirit, hath sent me.
[17] Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD
thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou
shouldest go.
[18] O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as
a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: [19] Thy seed also had
been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his
name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
[20] Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of
singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye,
The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob. [21] And they thirsted not when he
led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for
them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
[22] There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
