Bible Reading for August 14

Jeremiah 30
[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, [2] Thus speaketh the
LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto
thee in a book. [3] For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring
again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will
cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall
possess it.
[4] And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah.
[5] For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and
not of peace.
[6] Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I
see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces
are turned into paleness?
[7] Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time
of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. [8] For it shall come to
pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off
thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve
themselves of him: [9] But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their
king, whom I will raise up unto them.
[10] Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be
dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the
land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be
quiet, and none shall make him afraid. [11] For I am with thee, saith the LORD,
to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered
thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in
measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
[12] For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is
grievous.
[13] There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast
no healing medicines.
[14] All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded
thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the
multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. [15] Why criest
thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine
iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
[16] Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine
adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil
thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. [17]
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith
the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no
man seeketh after.
[18] Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's
tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon
her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
[19] And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make
merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify
them, and they shall not be small. [20] Their children also shall be as
aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will
punish all that oppress them. [21] And their nobles shall be of themselves, and
their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to
draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his
heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
[22] And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. [23] Behold, the
whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall
fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. [24] The fierce anger of the LORD
shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the
intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

Jeremiah 31
[1] At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of
Israel, and they shall be my people. [2] Thus saith the LORD, The people which
were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went
to cause him to rest. [3] The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I
have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I
drawn thee. [4] Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of
Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the
dances of them that make merry.
[5] Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters
shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. [6] For there shall be a day,
that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up
to Zion unto the LORD our God. [7] For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness
for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and
say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
[8] Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the
coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child
and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return
thither.
[9] They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I
will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they
shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
[10] Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar
off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a
shepherd doth his flock.
[11] For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him
that was stronger than he.
[12] Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow
together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and
for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a
watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. [13] Then shall the
virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn
their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from
their sorrow. [14] And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and
my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. [15] Thus saith
the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel
weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they
were not. [16] Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine
eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall
come again from the land of the enemy. [17] And there is hope in thine end,
saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
[18] I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised
me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me,
and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. [19] Surely after that I
was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh:
I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my
youth. [20] Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake
against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are
troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. [21] Set
thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway,
even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to
these thy cities.
[22] How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD
hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. [23] Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech
in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their
captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of
holiness.
[24] And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof
together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. [25] For I have
satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
[26] Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me. [27]
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and
the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
[28] And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck
up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so
will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD. [29] In those
days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the
children's teeth are set on edge. [30] But every one shall die for his own
iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
[31] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: [32] Not according to
the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the
hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake,
although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: [33] But this shall be the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the
LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of
them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their
iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. [35] Thus saith the LORD,
which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of
the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof
roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: [36] If those ordinances depart from
before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being
a nation before me for ever. [37] Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be
measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also
cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
[38] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the
LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner. [39] And the
measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and
shall compass about to Goath. [40] And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and
of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of
the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be
plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

Jeremiah 32
[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah
king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. [2] For then
the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was
shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.
[3] For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou
prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; [4] And Zedekiah king of
Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be
delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth
to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
[5] And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit
him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
[6] And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [7] Behold,
Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee
my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
[8] So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison
according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee,
that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of
inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I
knew that this was the word of the LORD. [9] And I bought the field of Hanameel
my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen
shekels of silver. [10] And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took
witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. [11] So I took the
evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and
custom, and that which was open: [12] And I gave the evidence of the purchase
unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel
mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book
of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. [13]
And I charged Baruch before them, saying, [14] Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both
which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen
vessel, that they may continue many days.
[15] For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and
vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. [16] Now when I had delivered
the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the
LORD, saying, [17] Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth
by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for
thee: [18] Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the
iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great,
the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name, [19] Great in counsel, and
mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men:
to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his
doings: [20] Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto
this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at
this day;
[21] And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with
signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm,
and with great terror;
[22] And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to
give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; [23] And they came in, and
possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they
have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast
caused all this evil to come upon them:
[24] Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is
given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the
sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is
come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it. [25] And thou hast said unto me, O
Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is
given into the hand of the Chaldeans. [26] Then came the word of the LORD unto
Jeremiah, saying, [27] Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there
any thing too hard for me?
[28] Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand
of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he
shall take it:
[29] And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire
on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered
incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke
me to anger.
[30] For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil
before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to
anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD. [31] For this city hath
been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they
built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
[32] Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of
Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their
princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[33] And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught
them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive
instruction.
[34] But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name,
to defile it.
[35] And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son
of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire
unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that
they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. [36] And now therefore
thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say,
It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by
the famine, and by the pestilence; [37] Behold, I will gather them out of all
countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in
great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them
to dwell safely: [38] And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
[39] And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for
ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: [40] And I will
make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to
do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not
depart from me. [41] Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will
plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
[42] For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon
this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
[43] And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate
without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. [44] Men
shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take
witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in
the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of
the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to
return, saith the LORD.
