The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar 27:1 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord. 2 Thus the Lord said to me: “Make yourself straps and yoke-bars, and put them on your neck. 3 Send word to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the sons of Ammon, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon by the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4 Give them this charge for their masters: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: This is what you shall say to your masters: 5 It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me. 6 Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. 7 All the nations shall serve him and his son and his grandson, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.JEREMIAH 28

Hananiah the False Prophet 28:1 In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”PROVERBS 18

18:1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;he breaks out against all sound judgment. 2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,but only in expressing his opinion. 3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also,and with dishonor comes disgrace. 4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook. 5 It is not good to be partial to the wickedor to deprive the righteous of justice. 6 A fool’s lips walk into a fight,and his mouth invites a beating. 7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin,and his lips are a snare to his soul. 8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;they go down into the inner parts of the body. 9 Whoever is slack in his workis a brother to him who destroys. 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower;the righteous man runs into it and is safe. 11 A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,and like a high wall in his imagination. 12 Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty,but humility comes before honor. 13 If one gives an answer before he hears,it is his folly and shame. 14 A man’s spirit will endure sickness,but a crushed spirit who can bear? 15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. 16 A man’s gift makes room for himand brings him before the great. 17 The one who states his case first seems right,until the other comes and examines him. 18 The lot puts an end to quarrelsand decides between powerful contenders. 19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city,and quarreling is like the bars of a castle. 20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach is satisfied;he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,and those who love it will eat its fruits. 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thingand obtains favor from the Lord. 23 The poor use entreaties,but the rich answer roughly. 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin,but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.1 JOHN 1

The Word of Life 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. Walking in the Light5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version® copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
