28 And that same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah, the son of Azur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the House of the LORD, in the presence of the priests, and of all the people, and said,
2 “Thus speaks the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babel.
3 ‘Within two years’ time, I will bring into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s House which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, took away from this place and carried into Babel.
4 ‘And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all those who were carried away captive from Judah, and went into Babel,’ says the LORD. ‘For I will break the yoke of the king of Babel.’”
5 Then the Prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah — in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the House of the LORD —
6 the Prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! The LORD so do! The LORD confirm your words which you have prophesied, to restore the vessels of the LORD’s House, and all that was carried captive from Babel, into this place.
7 “But hear now this Word that I will speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8 “The Prophets who have been before me, and before you, in time past, prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war and of plagues and of pestilence.
9 “The Prophet who prophesies of peace, when the Word of the Prophet shall come to pass, it shall be known of that Prophet that the LORD has truly sent him.”
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the Prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.
11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Even so, I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, from the neck of all nations within the span of two years.’” And the Prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 Then the Word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the Prophet, (after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the Prophet Jeremiah) saying:
13 “Go and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD: “You have broken the yokes of wood, but I have made yokes of iron from them.”
14 ‘For thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: “I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel. For they shall serve him. And I have also given him the beasts of the field.”’”
15 Then the Prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Hear now, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you! But you make this people trust in a lie!
16 “Therefore, thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the Earth. This year, you shall die, because you have spoken rebelliously against the LORD.’”
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year, in the seventh month.
29 Now these are the words of the Book that Jeremiah the Prophet, sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders who 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 Babel
2 (after Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and of Jerusalem, and the workmen, and cunning men had 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 to Babel to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel) saying,
4 “Thus has the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, spoken to all who are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away captives from Jerusalem to Babel:
5 ‘Build yourselves houses to dwell in. And plant yourselves gardens and eat the fruits of them.
6 ‘Take wives for yourselves and beget sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters, so that you may be increased there and not diminished.
7 ‘And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives. And pray to the LORD for it. For in its peace shall you have peace.’
8 “For thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Do not let your prophets and your soothsayers who are among you, deceive you or listen to your dreams which you dream.
9 ‘For they prophesy a lie to you in My Name. I have not sent them,” says the LORD.
10 ‘But thus says the LORD: that after seventy years are completed at Babel, I will attend to you, and perform My good promise toward you, and cause you to return to this place.
11 ‘For I know the thoughts that I have thought towards you,’ says the LORD, ‘the thoughts of peace and not of trouble, to give you a future and hope.
12 ‘Then you shall cry to Me. And you shall go and pray to Me. And I will hear you.
13 ‘And you shall seek Me, and find, because you shall seek Me with all your heart.
14 ‘And I will be found by you,’ says the LORD, ‘and I will turn away your captivity. And I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have cast you,’ says the LORD, ‘and will bring you back to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive
15 ‘because you have said, “The LORD has raised up Prophets for us in Babel.”’
16 “Therefore thus says the LORD of the king who sits upon the throne of David, and of all the people who dwell in this city, your brethren, who have not gone forth with you into captivity,
17 “thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘Behold, I will send the sword upon them, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
18 ‘And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence. And I will make them a terror to all kingdoms of the Earth, a curse and astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have cast them,
19 ‘because they have not heard My Words’ says the LORD, ‘which I sent to them by My servants, the Prophets, rising up early and sending. But you would not hear,’ says the LORD.
20 “Therefore, hear the Word of the LORD, all you of the captivity whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babel.
21 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, about Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy lies to you in My Name: ‘Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel. And he shall kill them before your eyes.
22 ‘And all those from Judah among the captivity, who are in Babel, shall take up this curse against them, and say, “The LORD make you like Zedekiah, and like Ahab, whom the king of Babel burnt in the fire,”
23 ‘Because they have committed villainy in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbor’s wives, and have spoken lying words in My Name, which I have not Commanded them. I know it, and testify it,’ says the LORD.
24 ‘You shall also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
25 “Thus speaks the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the Priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26 “The LORD has made you Priest instead of Jehoiada the Priest, so that there should be an officer in the House of the LORD for every man who raves and makes himself a prophet, to put him in prison and in the stocks.”
27 ‘Now, therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?
28 ‘Because, for this reason he sent to us in Babel, saying, “This captivity is long. Build houses to dwell in, and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.”’”
29 And Zephaniah the Priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the Prophet.
30 Then the Word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
31 “Send to all them of the captivity, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I did not send him, and he caused you to trust in a lie,
32 “therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I will reckon with Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his seed. He shall not have a man to dwell among this people, nor shall he behold the good that I will do for My people,” says the LORD, “because he has spoken rebelliously against the LORD.”’”
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the Commandment of God our Savior, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,
2 To Timothy, my natural son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I urged you when I departed into Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you may charge some to teach no other doctrine,
4 or to consider fables and endless genealogies (which breed questions rather than godly edifying, which is by faith).
5 For the purpose of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience, and faith without hypocrisy.
6 Some have erred from such things and have turned to mindless twaddle.
7 They wish to be teachers of the Law and yet do not understand what they say or the things they affirm.
8 And we know that the Law is good if one uses it lawfully,
9 knowing this: that the Law is not given for the righteous, but for the lawless and disobedient; for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for killers of fathers and mothers, for murderers,
10 for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and anything else contrary to wholesome doctrine,
11 according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God which was entrusted to me.
12 Therefore, I thank Him Who has made me strong - Christ Jesus our Lord. For He counted me faithful and put me in His service
13 when I had previously been a blasphemer and a persecutor and an oppressor. But I was received to mercy. For I did it ignorantly, through unbelief.
14 But the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a true saying and by all means worthy to be received: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of whom I am chief.
16 But, I was received to mercy for this reason: so that Jesus Christ should first show all long suffering on me, as an example to those who shall (in time) come to believe in Him unto eternal life.
17 Now, to the King everlasting, immortal, invisible; to God (Who alone is wise) be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
18 This commandment I commit to you, son Timothy, according to previous prophecies concerning you, so that by them you should fight a good fight,
19 having faith and a good conscience (which some have put away and, as far as faith, have made shipwreck -
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander - whom I have delivered to Satan so that they might learn not to blaspheme).
86 Bow down Your ear, O LORD, and hear me; for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am merciful. My God, save Your servant who trusts in You.
3 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I cry upon You continually.
4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant. For to You, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
5 For You, LORD, are good and merciful and of great kindness to all those who call upon You.
6 Give ear, LORD, to my prayer and pay attention to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble, I will call upon You; for You hear me.
8 Among the gods there is none like You, O LORD; and there are none like Your works.
9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O LORD, and shall glorify Your Name.
10 For You are great and do wondrous things. You are God, alone.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and I will walk in Your truth. Knit my heart to You, so that I may fear Your Name.
12 I will praise You, O LORD my God, with all my heart. Indeed, I will glorify Your Name forever.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me; and You have delivered my soul from the lowest grave.
14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought my soul and have not set You before them.
15 But You, O LORD, are a pitying God, and merciful, slow to anger and great in kindness and truth.
16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me. Give Your strength to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaid.
17 Show a sign of goodness toward me, so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; because You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. A Psalm, or song, committed to the sons of Korah
17 Withdraw your foot from your neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of you and hate you.
