Day 199 of My 6th Bible Study Journey Part 3

Posted by DSY on Saturday, July 18. 2026

Isaiah 26

[1] In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a

strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

[2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may

enter in.

[3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:

because he trusteth in thee.

[4] Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting

strength:

[5] For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth

it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

[6] The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps

of the needy.

[7] The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the

path of the just.

[8] Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the

desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

[9] With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit

within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth,

the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

[10] Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn

righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will

not behold the majesty of the LORD.

[11] LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall

see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine

enemies shall devour them.

[12] LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our

works in us.

[13] O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but

by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

[14] They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not

rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their

memory to perish.

[15] Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation:

thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the

earth.

[16] LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when

thy chastening was upon them.

[17] Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery,

is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O

LORD.

[18] We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were

brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth;

neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

[19] Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.

Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,

and the earth shall cast out the dead.

[20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about

thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be

overpast.

[21] For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants

of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood,

and shall no more cover her slain.

Isaiah 27

The Deliverance of Israel

1 (Ps 104:26; Isa 51:9) In that day

the Lord with His fierce and great

and strong sword shall punish

Leviathan the fleeing serpent,

even Leviathan the twisted serpent;

and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

2 (Jer 2:21) In that day:

Sing of it! A vineyard of red wine.

3 (Isa 58:11; 1Sa 2:9) I, the Lord, am its keeper;

I water it every moment;

lest anyone damage it,

I protect it night and day.

4 (Isa 10:17; Mt 3:12) I have no fury.

Should someone give Me briers and thorns in battle,

then I would step on them,

I would burn them fully.

5 (Job 22:21; Isa 25:4) Or let him rely on My strength;

let him make peace with Me;

let him make peace with Me.

6 (Isa 37:31; Hos 14:5-6) In the days to come Jacob shall take root;

Israel shall blossom and bud

and shall fill the whole world with fruit.

7 (Isa 37:36-38) Has He struck them,

as He struck those who struck them?

Or like the slaughter of His slain,

have they been slain?

8 (Jer 4:11; 10:24) You fought with them by banishing them,

by driving them away.

He has expelled them

on the day of the east wind with His fierce wind.

9 (Isa 17:8; 48:10) Through this, therefore,

the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,

and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:

when he makes all the stones of the altar

as chalkstones that are pulverized,

when the groves and incense altars

shall not stand.

10 (Isa 17:2; 17:9) For the fortified city shall be desolate,

a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;

there the calf shall graze,

and there it shall lie down

and eat its branches.

11 (Isa 1:3; 43:1) When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;

the women come and make a fire with them,

for they are not a people of understanding;

therefore, their Maker will not have mercy on them,

and their Creator will show them no grace.

12 (Ge 15:18; Dt 30:3-4) In that day the Lord shall thresh

from the channel of the RiverEuphrates River. to the stream of Egypt,

and you shall be gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.

13 (Lev 25:9; Mt 24:31) And in that day the great trumpet shall be blown,

and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts

in the land of Egypt shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27

[1] In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall

punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent;

and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

[2] In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

[3] I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I

will keep it night and day.

[4] Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in

battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

[5] Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and

he shall make peace with me.

[6] He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall

blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

[7] Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain

according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

[8] In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth

his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

[9] By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all

the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar

as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not

stand up.

[10] Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken,

and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he

lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

[11] When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the

women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding:

therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed

them will shew them no favour.

[12] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off

from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be

gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be

blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of

Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD

in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

2) Our Daily Bread for 18 July 2026 Titled

Road Closed, Spirit-Led By Marvin Williams

Acts 16:6-10

Paul's Vision of the Macedonian

6 (Ac 18:23; 1Pe 1:1; Gal 1:2) They went through the region of Phrygia

and Galatia and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

7 (Ro 8:9; Gal 4:6) When they came near Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia,

but the Spirit did not allow them.

8 (2Co 2:12; 2Ti 4:13) So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.

9 (Ac 18:5; 19:21) During the night a vision appeared to Paul:

A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying,

"Come over to Macedonia and help us."

10 After he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia,

concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

[6] Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and

were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

[7] After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the

Spirit suffered them not.

[8] And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

[9] And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of

Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

[10] And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into

Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the

gospel unto them.

After a lengthy journey, my wife and I finally neared our street, but a large

road closed to thru traffic sign blocked our path. I felt the urge to drive

around it because home was just ahead, and I didn’t like being rerouted. But

then I saw why the road was closed: A downed power line lay across the road.

Had I ignored the warning, I could have driven into danger.

In Acts 16:6-10, Paul and his companions were eager to preach the gospel in

the province of Asia, but the Holy Spirit closed that door. Detours aren't

always rejection, however. They can be divine redirections. Like the

roadblock on our street, God rerouted Paul from entering the province of

Bithynia. It must have been frustrating to be blocked, especially while

Paul was striving to do his best. But then he received a vision in which

a man said, "Come over to Macedonia and help us" (v. 9). God said "no" to

something good because He was preparing them for something else - taking

the gospel to the people of another continent (v. 10).

Rather than seeing "no" as punishment and rejection, we can see it as His

Spirit-led redirection. His detours are often pathways to divine appointments.

Let's not simply trust His direction when the roads are open;

let's follow when He closes them too.

Reflect & Pray

When has God placed a "road closed" sign in front of you as you were striving

to do something good? How are you listening for the Spirit's guidance as you

work out your plans?

Dear God, please help me to trust Your

closed doors as much as I trust Your open ones.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 7 God's Bulldozer - Luke 3:5-6

5 (Isa 40:4; 42:16) Every valley shall be filled

and every mountain and hill shall be brought low;

and the crooked shall be made straight

and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6 (Isa 40:5; 52:10) and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

5 Every valley shall be filled,

And every mountain and hill shall be brought low;

And the crooked shall be made straight,

And the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

When a new highway is being constructed, the roads crew work hard

in preparing for the new surface to be laid. Giant bulldozers cut through

the hillsides, moving earth, leveling, filling, evening the path out where

the roadway will run. When the work is first begun, if often looks like chaos:

and even after the highway begins to take shape, the land is still ugly,

scarred by the unsightly gashes cut through the landscape. Yet after

the work is completed and the grass and trees are replanted, we forget

the temporary upheaval and see only the

beauty of the land and the convenience of the new roadway.

In Luke 3:5-6, John the Baptist presents a prophecy of the coming of Christ,

a prophecy quoted from Isaiah 40:3-5 . The prophecy speaks of the preparation

of the world for the coming Messiah, but is also applies to the preparation

of the individual heart to receive him.

Sometimes, the Holy Spirit must do major work in our hearts to prepare us for

the coming of Christ into our live. Like a bulldozer, he brings down the

mountains of pride in our lives. He fill the empty places , corrects

the crooked, grades down the rough edges of our hearts.

Often this is not pleasant work. We prefer to maintain the rugged landscape

of Self, and we do not like the ugly scars that are left after the bulldozer

has done its job.

But if we submit to the Spirit's "Construction work" in us, the way will be

paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and others will see in us,

the way be paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and other will see

in us the glory and salvation of our God.

Application

a) What "construction work" has to Holy Spirit done in me?

b) What restoration has taken place because of that work?

c) How do today's verses help me put in perspective the work

God still want to do in me?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Ps 37:25-26

25 I have been young, and now am old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor their offspring begging bread.

26 The righteous are gracious and lend,

and their offspring are a source of blessing.

25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;

And his seed is blessed.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

When you are ill or injured

Matthew 8:14-17

The Healing of Many People

Mk 1:29-34; Lk 4:38-41

14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother,

lying sick with a fever.

15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose and served them.

16 When the evening came, they brought to Him many

who were possessed with demons.

And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,

17 to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,

"He Himself took our infirmities

and bore our sicknesses."

[14] And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother

laid, and sick of a fever.

[15] And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and

ministered unto them.

[16] When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed

with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that

were sick:

[17] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,

saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)

Where do Muslims live?

Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers

to our shores. Where do they live? How can we pray for these areas? Use this as

your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.

Data for those population figures is extrapolated for the 2011 National

Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have

also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims

self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on

the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total

Canadian population, not provincial

BC - 136493 - 7.5%

AB - 195240 - 11%

SK - 17279 - 1%

MB - 21349 - 1.2%

ON - 1001542 - 55%

QC - 418946 - 23%

NB - 4543 - 0.003%

NS - 14629 - 0.1%

PEI - 1127 - 0.0006%

NFLD - 2065 - 0.001%

Yukon - 69 - 0.00004%

NWT - 473 - 0.0003%

NU - 86 - 0.00005%

Adding further

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

And

Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

ROMANS 15:13

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Day 199, 18 July 2026

1) Isaiah 23, 24, 25, 26, 27

Isaiah 23

An Oracle Concerning Tyre

1 (Joel 3:4-8; Ge 10:4) The oracle of Tyre.

Wail, O ships of Tarshish,

for Tyre is laid waste

so that there is no house or harbor;

from the land of Cyprus

it is reported to them.

2 (Isa 47:5) Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland,

you merchants of Sidon;

your messengers passed over the sea,

3 (1Ch 13:5; Jer 2:18) and were on many waters;

the grain of the Nile,

the harvest of the River Nile River. was her revenue;

and she was the market of nations.

4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken,

even the stronghold of the sea, saying,

"I have not travailed nor brought forth children;

neither have I brought up young men nor raised virgins."

5 (Ex 15:14-16; Jos 2:9-11) When the report reaches Egypt,

they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

6 (Isa 23:12) Pass over to Tarshish;

wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.

7 (Isa 22:2) Is this your joyous city,

whose origin is from ancient days,

whose feet used to carry her

to sojourn in distant locations?

8 Who has planned this against Tyre,

the crowning city,

whose merchants are princes,

whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?

9 (Isa 13:11; Job 40:11-12) The Lord of Hosts has purposed it,

to stain the pride of all glory

and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

10 Pass through your land as the Nile,

O daughter of Tarshish;

there is no more restraint.

11 (Zec 9:3-4; Ex 14:21) He stretched out His hand over the sea,

He shook the kingdoms;

the Lord has given a command against the merchant city,

to destroy its strongholds.

12 (Rev 18:22; Isa 23:1-2) He said: You shall rejoice no more,

O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.

Arise, pass over to Cyprus;

there also you shall have no rest.

13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans;

this was a people who was not;

Assyria founded it

for those who dwell in the wilderness.

They set up their siege towers,

they stripped its palaces,

and brought it to ruin.

14 (Isa 23:1) Wail, O ships of Tarshish,

for your stronghold is laid waste.

15 (Jer 25:22) In that day Tyre shall be forgotten for seventy years,

according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years

Tyre shall sing as a harlot:

16 Take your harp, go about the city,

O forgotten harlot;

make sweet melody, sing many songs,

that you may be remembered.

17 (Na 3:4) At the end of seventy years, the Lord will punish Tyre.

Then she shall turn to her harlot's wages and shall commit fornication

with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

18 (Ps 72:10) Her merchandise and her harlot's wages shall be set apart

to the Lord. It shall not be treasured nor stored up, for her merchandise

shall be for those who dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently,

and for choice clothing.

Isaiah 23

[1] The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so

that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is

revealed to them.

[2] Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon,

that pass over the sea, have replenished.

[3] And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her

revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

[4] Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of

the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I

nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.

[5] As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the

report of Tyre.

[6] Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

[7] Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own

feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

[8] Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose

merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?

[9] The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and

to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

[10] Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no

more strength.

[11] He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD

hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong

holds thereof.

[12] And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin,

daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have

no rest.

[13] Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the

Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the

towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to

ruin.

[14] Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.

[15] And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten

seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy

years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

[16] Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten;

make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

[17] And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD

will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit

fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

[18] And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it

shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them

that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

Isaiah 24

Judgment on the Earth

1 Now the Lord makes the earth empty,

and makes it waste,

and turns it upside down,

and scatters its inhabitants abroad.

2 (Hos 4:9; Eze 7:12-13) It shall be:

as with the people, so with the priest;

as with the servant, so with his master;

as with the maid, so with her mistress;

as with the buyer, so with the seller;

as with the lender, so with the borrower;

as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

3 (Isa 6:11; 24:1) The land shall be utterly emptied,

and utterly despoiled,

for the Lord has spoken this word.

4 (Isa 33:9; Hos 4:3) The earth mourns and fades away,

the world languishes and fades away,

the haughty people of the earth languish.

5 The earth also is defiled by its inhabitants

because they have transgressed the laws,

violated the ordinances,

broken the everlasting covenant.

6 (Zec 5:3-4 ) Therefore, the curse devours the earth,

and those who dwell in it are held guilty.

Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned,

and few men are left.

7 (Isa 16:10; 16:8) The new wine fails, the vine languishes,

all the merry-hearted sigh.

8 (Hos 2:11; Jer 7:34) The joy of tambourines ceases,

the noise of those who rejoice ends,

the joy of the harp ceases.

9 (Ecc 9:7; Isa 5:22) They shall not drink wine with song;

strong drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.

10 The city of confusion is broken down;

every house is shut up so that no one may come in.

11 There is an outcry for wine in the streets,

all joy is turned to gloom,

the joyfulness of the earth is gone.

12 Desolation is left in the city,

and the gate is battered to destruction.

13 For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth

among the peoples,

as the shaking of an olive tree,

and as the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.

14 (Isa 54:1) They lift up their voices; they sing for the majesty of the Lord;

they cry aloud from the west.

15 (Mal 1:11; Isa 42:4) Therefore glorify the Lord in the east,

even the name of the Lord God of Israel

in the coastlands of the sea.

16 (Isa 21:2; 33:1) From the uttermost part of the earth we hear songs,

that is, "Glory to the Righteous One."

But I say, Woe to me! Woe to me!

Alas for me!

The treacherous deal treacherously;

indeed, the treacherous deal very treacherously.

17 (Jer 48:43-44) Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you,

O inhabitant of the earth.

18 (Ge 7:11; Ps 18:7) He who flees from the report of disaster

shall fall into the pit,

and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit

shall be taken in the snare.

For the windows from on high are open,

and the foundations of the earth shake.

19 The earth is utterly broken down,

the earth is split through,

the earth is shaken violently.

20 (Isa 19:14; 29:9) The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard,

and it totters like a shack,

and its transgression is heavy upon it,

and it shall fall, never to rise again.

21 (Ps 76:12; Isa 10:12) In that day the Lord shall punish

the host of heaven on high

and the kings of the earth on the earth.

22 (Zec 9:11) They shall be gathered together,

as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon,

and shall be shut up in the prison,

and after many days they shall be punished.

23 (Isa 13:10; 60:19) Then the moon shall be humiliated and the sun ashamed,

when the Lord of Hosts reigns

in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,

and His glory shall be before His elders.

Isaiah 24

[1] Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and

turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

[2] And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the

servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with

the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as

with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

[3] The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD

hath spoken this word.

[4] The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth

away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

[5] The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they

have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting

covenant.

[6] Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein

are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men

left.

[7] The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do

sigh.

[8] The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the

joy of the harp ceaseth.

[9] They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to

them that drink it.

[10] The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no

man may come in.

[11] There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the

mirth of the land is gone.

[12] In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with

destruction.

[13] When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there

shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when

the vintage is done.

[14] They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the

LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

[15] Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD

God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

[16] From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to

the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the

treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers

have dealt very treacherously.

[17] Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the

earth.

[18] And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the

fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the

pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and

the foundations of the earth do shake.

[19] The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the

earth is moved exceedingly.

[20] The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed

like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it

shall fall, and not rise again.

[21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the

host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the

earth.

[22] And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the

pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be

visited.

[23] Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD

of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his

ancients gloriously.

Isaiah 25

Praise to the Lord

1 (Ex 15:2; Ps 98:1) O Lord, You are my God.

I will exalt You, I will praise Your name,

for You have done wonderful things;

Your plans formed of old

are faithfulness and truth.

2 (Isa 17:1; 13:22) For You have made a city into a heap,

a fortified city into a ruin;

a palace of strangers is a city no longer;

it shall never be built.

3 Therefore a strong people shall glorify You;

cities of ruthless nations shall fear You.

4 (Isa 14:32; 32:2) For You have been a defense to the poor,

a defense to the needy in his distress,

a refuge from the storm,

a shadow from the heat;

for the breath of the ruthless ones

is as a storm against the wall.

5 You bring down the noise of strangers,

as heat in drought;

as the heat by the shadow of a cloud,

the song of the ruthless ones shall be brought low.

6 (Isa 2:2-3; Ps 63:5) In this mountain the Lord of Hosts shall prepare

for all people a lavish feast,

a feast of aged wines,

choice pieces full of marrow, and refined, aged wines.

7 (Eph 4:18) He will destroy in this mountain

the covering which is over all peoples,

even the veil that is spread over all nations.

8 (Rev 21:4; Hos 13:14; 1Co 15:54) He will swallow up death for all time,

and the Lord God will wipe away tears

from all faces;

and the reproach of His people He shall take away

from all the earth,

for the Lord has spoken it.

9 (Ps 20:5; Ge 49:18) It shall be said in that day:

Look, this is our God

for whom we have waited that He might save us.

This is the Lord for whom we have waited;

we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

10 (Isa 25:6; Jer 48:2) For in this mountain the hand of the Lord shall rest,

and Moab shall be trodden down in his place

as straw is trodden down in the water for the manure pile.

11 (Isa 5:25; 14:26) He shall spread out his hands in the midst of it,

as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,

yet the Lord shall bring down his pride

together with the trickery of his hands.

12 (Isa 26:5) The unassailable fortresses of your walls

He shall bring down, lay low,and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

Isaiah 25

[1] O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for

thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and

truth.

[2] For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a

palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

[3] Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible

nations shall fear thee.

[4] For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in

his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the

blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

[5] Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry

place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible

ones shall be brought low.

[6] And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a

feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of

marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

[7] And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over

all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

[8] He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away

tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away

from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

[9] And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited

for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we

will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

[10] For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be

trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

[11] And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that

swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their

pride together with the spoils of their hands.

[12] And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay

low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

Isaiah 26

A Song of Victory

1 (Isa 60:18; 12:1) In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city;

He appoints walls

and bulwarks for security.

2 (Ps 118:20; Isa 60:11) Open the gates,

that the righteous nation may enter,

the one who remains faithful.

3 You will keep him in perfect peace,

whose mind is stayed on You,

because he trusts in You.

4 (Isa 12:2; 50:10) Trust in the Lord forever,

for in God the Lord we have an everlasting rock.

5 (Job 40:11-13) For He brings down those who dwell on high,

the lofty city; He lays it low; He lays it low,

even to the ground;

He brings it even to the dust.

6 The foot shall tread it down,

even the feet of the poor

and the steps of the needy.

7 The way of the righteous is smooth;

O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.

8 In the way of Your judgments, O Lord,

we have waited for You eagerly;

the desire of our souls is Your name,

even Your memory.

9 (Ps 63:1; Mt 6:33 ) With my soul I have desired You in the night;

my spirit within me seeks You diligently;

for when Your judgments are in the earth,

the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

10 (Hos 11:7; Jn 5:37-38) Though favor is shown to the wicked,

yet he will not learn righteousness;

in the land of uprightness he deals unjustly

and does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.

11 (Isa 5:24; Mic 5:9) Lord, Your hand is lifted up,

but they do not see it.

They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;

the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

12 Lord, You will ordain peace for us,

for You also have done all our works for us.

13 (Isa 2:8) O Lord our God, other lords besides You have had dominion over us,

but through You alone we confess Your name.

14 (Isa 8:19) The dead shall not live;

the departed spirits shall not rise.

Therefore, You have punished and destroyed them

and made all remembrance of them to perish.

15 (Isa 9:3) You have increased the nation, O Lord,

You have increased the nation;

You are glorified;

You have extended all the borders of the land.

16 (Hos 5:15) Lord, in trouble they have sought You;

they poured out a prayer

when Your chastening was on them.

17 (Isa 13:8; Jn 16:21) Like a woman with child,

who is in pain and cries out in her pangs

when she draws near the time of her delivery,

so have we been in Your sight, O Lord.

18 (Ps 17:14) We have been with child, we have been in pain,

we have, as it were, brought forth wind;

we have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,

nor were the inhabitants of the world born.

19 (Isa 25:8; Da 12:2) Your dead shall live,

their corpses shall arise.

Awake and sing,

you who dwell in dust,

for your dew is as the dew of the dawn,

and the earth shall give birth to the departed spirits.

20 (Ps 30:5; 91:4) Come, my people, enter your chambers,

and shut your doors behind you;

hide for a little while

until the indignation is over.

21 (Job 16:18) For the Lord comes out of His place

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;

the earth also shall disclose her bloodshed

and shall cover her slain no more.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 4 -The Blessings of Grace Day 6 - A Reasonable Alternative

Isaiah 1:18

18 (Ps 51:7; Rev 7:14) "Come now, and let us reason together, "

says the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

"Is Christianity Reasonable?" Linda Wanted to Know. "I've heard all my life

that faith is a crutch, an invention of weak minds to assure them

of some order in the world."

Linda was not alone in her objection; thinking people for generations

have been asking themselves the same question.

God is not intimidated by our questions; in fact, he confronts the issue

head-on in the Scriptures. "Let us reason together," the Lord invites.

Even according to the most basic of human reasoning,

faith is a reasonable alternative , a rational choice for a thinking person.

God indicates in his Word that confession and forgiveness are "reasonable".

"Think!" God says. "You sin, and you know it. You are not even able to be

true to your own principles. You cannot deal with your sin by will power

or effort. But I can deal with it! I can forgive it - and I will"

We cannot come to faith in God through Christ by intellect alone, of course.

Our spirits much reach out in faith, beyond what we can see. But intellect

supports faith; trusting in Christ is an eminently rational decision.

In Deut 30:1-20 , God set before the people a choice: Life or Death, blessing

or cursing. "Choose Life!" he tells them. We have the same choice.

The ultimate decision is thus simplified, the 'rational' alternative becomes

clear. We can choose death, by attempting to control our own destinies ,

or life, by giving ourselves fully into the hand of the Master.

Application

a) Why is the choice to acknowledge my sin and receive forgiveness a

'Rational choice'?

b) What are the alternatives to such a decision?

c) What other aspects of God's word

and work in my life seem 'reasonable' to me?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Is 55:11

11 (Isa 45:23; 46:10) so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

When you are ill or injured

James 5:13-16

13 (Ps 50:15; Eph 5:19) Is anyone among you suffering?

Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms.

14 (Mk 6:13; 16:18; Ac 14:23) Is anyone sick among you?

Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord.

15 (Isa 33:24; Jas 1:6) And the prayer of faith will save

the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

16 (Ge 20:17; 18:23-32) Confess your faults to one another

and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.

13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.

Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise

him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,

that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

availeth much.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)

Where do Muslims live?

Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers

to our shores. Where do they live? How can we pray for these areas? Use this as

your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.

Data for those population figures is extrapolated for the 2011 National

Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have

also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims

self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on

the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total

Canadian population, not provincial

BC - 136493 - 7.5%

AB - 195240 - 11%

SK - 17279 - 1%

Adding further

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

And

Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

Isaiah 20

A Prophecy Against Egypt and Ethiopia

1 (2Ki 18:17) In the year that the Tartan

[Possibly Commander-in-Chief.] came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria

sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it,

2 (1Sa 19:24; Mic 1:8) at the same time the Lord spoke

by Isaiah the son of Amoz saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth

from your waist and take off your shoes from your feet."

And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 (Isa 8:18) The Lord said, "Even as My servant Isaiah has walked naked

and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,

4 (Isa 19:4; Jer 13:22) so the king of Assyria shall lead away the Egyptians

as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old,

naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 (Isa 30:3; 30:5) Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed of Ethiopia

their hope and Egypt their boast.

6 (Mt 23:33; 1Th 5:3) So the inhabitants of this coastland shall say

in that day, 'Certainly such is our hope, where we flee for help

to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And how shall we escape?' "

Isaiah 20

[1] In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of

Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

[2] At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go

and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy

foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

[3] And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and

barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

[4] So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the

Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their

buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

[5] And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and

of Egypt their glory.

[6] And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is

our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of

Assyria: and how shall we escape?

Isaiah 21

A Prophecy Against Babylon

1 (Isa 13:1; Jer 51:42) The oracle of the desert of the sea.

As whirlwinds in the Negev pass through,

so it comes from the desert,

from a terrible land.

2 (Isa 33:1; Ps 60:3) A grievous vision is declared to me;

the treacherous one still deals treacherously,

and the destroyer still destroys.

Go up, O Elam. Lay siege, O Media.

All her sighing I have made to cease.

3 (Isa 13:8; Ps 48:6) Therefore, my loins are filled with pain;

pangs have taken hold of me as the pangs of a woman who travails.

I am so perplexed at the hearing of it;

I am so dismayed at the seeing of it.

4 My heart panted,

fearfulness overwhelmed me;

the night for which I longed

has turned into trembling for me.

5 (Jer 51:39; 51:57) Prepare the table,

watch in the watchtower,

eat and drink.

Arise, you princes,

and oil the shields.

6 (2Ki 9:17-20) For thus the Lord has said to me:

"Go, station a watchman;

let him declare what he sees.

7 (Isa 21:9) When he sees chariots

with horsemen in pairs,

a chariot of donkeys,

and a chariot of camels,

then let him pay close attention,

very close attention."

8 Then the watchman called:

"O Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime,

and I am stationed at my guard post every night.

9 (Jer 51:8; Rev 14:8) Look, here comes a chariot of men,

horsemen in pairs."

And he answered and said,

"Fallen, fallen is Babylon.

And all the graven images of her gods

lie shattered on the ground."

10 (Jer 51:33; Mic 4:13) O my threshed people and my afflicted

of the threshing floor!

What I have heard from the Lord of Hosts,

the God of Israel,

I have declared to you.

[1] The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass

through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

[2] A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth

treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media;

all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

[3] Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me,

as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of

it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

[4] My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure

hath he turned into fear unto me.

[5] Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye

princes, and anoint the shield.

[6] For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare

what he seeth.

[7] And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and

a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

[8] And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower

in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

[9] And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen.

And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven

images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

[10] O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of

the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

A Prophecy Against Edom

11 (Ge 25:14; 1Ch 1:30) The oracle of Dumah.

He calls to me out of Seir,

"Watchman, how far gone is the night?

Watchman, how far gone is the night?"

12 The watchman says,

"The morning comes and also the night.

If you would inquire, inquire;

return again."

[11] The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of

the night? Watchman, what of the night?

[12] The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will

inquire, inquire ye: return, come.

A Prophecy Against Arabia

13 (Jer 25:23-24; Ge 25:3) The oracle about Arabia.

In the forest of Arabia you shall lodge,

O traveling companies of Dedanites.

14 (Ge 25:15; Job 6:19) Bring water for the thirsty,

O inhabitants of the land of Tema;

meet the fugitive with bread.

15 For they fled from the swords,

from the drawn sword,

and from the bent bow,

and from the grievousness of war.

16 (Ps 120:5; Isa 16:14) For thus the Lord has said to me:

Within a year, according to the years of a hireling,

all the glory of Kedar shall fail.

17 (Nu 23:19; Isa 1:20) And the remainder of the number of archers,

the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished,

for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.

[13] The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye

travelling companies of Dedanim.

[14] The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was

thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

[15] For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent

bow, and from the grievousness of war.

[16] For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the

years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

[17] And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the

children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath

spoken it.

Isaiah 22

An Oracle Concerning Jerusalem

1 (Jer 21:13; Ps 125:2) The oracle of the Valley of Vision.

What ails you now,

that you all have gone up to the housetops,

2 (Isa 32:13; 23:7) you who were full of noise,

a tumultuous city, a joyous city?

Your slain are not slain with the sword,

nor did they die in battle.

3 All your rulers have fled together;

they are captured by the archers.

All of you who were found were taken captive together,

although they had fled from afar.

4 (Jer 9:1; Mic 1:8) Therefore, I say, "Look away from me,

I will weep bitterly;

do not try to comfort me

because of the destruction of the daughter of my people."

5 (Isa 10:6; 37:3) For it is a day of trouble and of treading down

and of perplexity

by the Lord God of Hosts

in the Valley of Vision,

a breaking down of the walls

and a crying to the mountains.

6 (2Ki 16:9; Isa 21:2) Elam took up the quiver

with chariots of men and horsemen,

and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 Your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots,

and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

8 (1Ki 7:2; 10:17) And He shall remove the protection of Judah.

You shall depend in that day

on the weapons of the house of the forest;

9 (2Ki 20:20) you have seen also that the breaches

of the City of David are many;

and you gathered together the waters

of the lower pool.

10 You have numbered the houses of Jerusalem,

and the houses you have broken down to fortify the wall.

11 (2Ki 25:4) You also made a reservoir between the two walls

for the water of the old pool.

But you have not looked to its Maker,

nor did you respect Him who fashioned it long ago.

12 (Joel 2:17; 1:13) In that day the Lord God of Hosts

called you to weeping and mourning,

and to tear your hair and wear sackcloth.

13 (Isa 56:12; 1Co 15:32; Lk 17:26-29) Yet, there is joy and gladness,

slaying of oxen and killing of sheep,

eating of meat and drinking wine:

"Let us eat and drink,

for tomorrow we may die."

14 (1Sa 3:14; Isa 5:9) It was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of Hosts:

Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you until you die,

says the Lord God of Hosts.

15 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) Thus says the Lord God of Hosts:

Come, go to this treasurer,

even to Shebna, who is over the royal household, and say:

16 (Mt 27:60; 2Ch 16:14) What right do you have here?

And whom do you have here

that you have dug out for yourself a tomb here,

as he who hews out for himself a tomb on high,

and who cuts a habitation for himself in a rock?

17 Indeed, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man;

He is about to seize you firmly.

18 (Isa 17:13) He will surely violently turn

and toss you like a ball into a large country;

there you shall die,

and there the chariots of your glory shall be

the shame of your lord's house.

19 (Job 40:11-12; Eze 17:24) I will drive you from your office

and pull you down from your station.

20 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) In that day I will call My servant Eliakim

the son of Hilkiah.

21 (Ge 45:8) And I will clothe him with your robe and tie him securely

with your sash. And I will entrust him with your authority,

and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem

and to the house of Judah.

22 (Job 12:14; Rev 3:7) The key of the house of David I will lay

on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut.

And he shall shut, and no one shall open.

23 (1Sa 2:8; Ezr 9:8) I will fasten him as a nail in a firm place,

and he shall become a glorious throne to his father's house.

24 They shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house,

the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity,

from the bowls to all the jars.

25 (Isa 46:11; Mic 4:4) In that day, says the Lord of Hosts,

the nail that is fastened in the firm place shall be removed,

and be cut down and fall. And the load that was on it shall be cut off,

for the Lord has spoken it.

Isaiah 22

[1] The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art

wholly gone up to the housetops?

[2] Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain

men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

[3] All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all

that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.

[4] Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to

comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

[5] For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by

the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and

of crying to the mountains.

[6] And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir

uncovered the shield.

[7] And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of

chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

[8] And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day

to the armour of the house of the forest.

[9] Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many:

and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

[10] And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye

broken down to fortify the wall.

[11] Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old

pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect

unto him that fashioned it long ago.

[12] And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to

mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

[13] And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating

flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

[14] And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this

iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of

hosts.

[15] Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer,

even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,

[16] What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee

out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and

that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

[17] Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will

surely cover thee.

[18] He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large

country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be

the shame of thy lord's house.

[19] And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he

pull thee down.

[20] And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant

Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

[21] And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy

girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a

father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

[22] And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he

shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

[23] And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a

glorious throne to his father's house.

[24] And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the

offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of

cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

[25] In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened

in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that

was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

2) Our Daily Bread for 17 July 2026 titled God's Handiwork By Karen Pimpo

Job 38:31-41

31 "Can you tie the cords to the Pleiades

or loosen the belt of Orion?

32 Can you bring out the constellation in its season?

Or can you guide the Bear with its cubs?

33 Do you know the ordinances of heaven?

Can you set their dominion over the earth?

34 "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,

that abundance of waters may cover you?

35 Can you send lightning that they may go forth

and say to you, 'Here we are' ?

36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts,

or who has given understanding to the heart?

37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?

Or who can empty out the bottles of heaven,

38 when the dust turns into hard clumps

and the clods stick together?

39 "Will you hunt the prey for the lion?

Or fill the appetite of the young lions,

40 when they crouch in their dens

and lie in the thicket to wait in ambush?

41 Who provides for the raven his food

when his young ones cry unto God,

and they wander about for lack of food?

31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,

Or loose the bands of Orion?

32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?

Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven?

Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds,

That abundance of waters may cover thee?

35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go,

And say unto thee, Here we are?

36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts?

Or who hath given understanding to the heart?

37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom?

Or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

38 When the dust groweth into hardness,

And the clods cleave fast together?

39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion?

Or fill the appetite of the young lions,

40 When they couch in their dens,

And abide in the covert to lie in wait?

41 Who provideth for the raven his food?

When his young ones cry unto God,

They wander for lack of meat.

Dragonflies are dainty insects with some of the most amazing flight and

endurance capabilities. Their aerial abilities have been studied to improve

flight technology. Scientists recently found that with its wings beating

thirty times a second, a dragonfly that has fallen upside-down can right

itself in just 0.2 seconds. Its eyes process an incredible two hundred images

per second to determine which way is up and make tiny adjustments.

God's creativity and wisdom are on display all throughout our natural world.

In the book of Job, the main character struggles to reconcile his suffering

with God's goodness and righteousness. God responds by asking Job, "Do you

know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?"

(38:33). God begins to describe many animals from birds and goats to the

world's largest predators (38:36; 39:1; 40:15-24; 41). He knows what each

animal needs for survival and is aware of the hungry cries of their young

(38:39-41). God has given each of them distinct characteristics, such as

the speed of an ostrich or the strength of an ox, so they can thrive (ch. 39).

How exactly does a dragonfly maneuver so incredibly? We have a lot to learn.

And yet we can trust that the all-knowing God who designed these creatures is

the same one who knows how to bring us from the darkest night into the light

and joy of His presence.

Reflect & Pray

Where do you see God's handiwork in the world around you?

What does it reveal about His nature?

Creator God, I trust Your wisdom

and righteousness, even when I don't understand it.

Day 198, 17 July 2026

1) Isaiah 18, Isaiah 19, Isaiah 20, Isaiah 21, Isaiah 22

Isaiah 18

An Oracle Concerning Ethiopia

1 (2Ki 19:9; Eze 30:4-5) Woe to the land vibrating with wings,

which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,

2 (Ge 10:8-9; 2Ch 12:2-4) which sends ambassadors by the sea,

even in vessels of reeds on the waters, saying,

"Go, swift messengers,

to a nation tall and smooth,

to a people feared far and wide,

a nation strong and oppressive,

whose land the rivers have divided."

3 (Isa 5:26; 26:11) All you inhabitants of the world,

and dwellers on the earth:

When he lifts up a banner on the mountains,

you will see it;

and when he blows a trumpet,

you will hear it.

4 (Isa 26:21; Hos 5:15) For so the Lord said to me:

I will look from My dwelling place quietly,

like dazzling heat in the sunshine,

like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

5 (Eze 17:6-10) For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect

and the sour grape is ripening in the flower,

then He shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks

and take away and cut down the branches.

6 (Jer 7:33; Eze 32:4-6) They shall be left together for the fowl

of the mountains

and for the beasts of the earth;

and the fowl shall spend the summer feeding on them,

and all the beasts of the earth shall spend the winter on them.

7 (Isa 45:14; Zep 3:10) In that time a present shall be brought

to the Lord of Hosts

from a people tall and smooth,

and from a people feared far and wide,

a nation strong and oppressive,

whose land the rivers have divided,

to the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts, even Mount Zion.

Isaiah 18

[1] Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of

Ethiopia:

[2] That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon

the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and

peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted

out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

[3] All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when

he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet,

hear ye.

[4] For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider

in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew

in the heat of harvest.

[5] For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is

ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks,

and take away and cut down the branches.

[6] They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the

beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the

beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

[7] In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a

people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning

hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers

have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

(A prophecy that could happen soon)

Isaiah 19

An Oracle Concerning Egypt

1 (Ex 12:12; Jos 2:11) The oracle of Egypt.

See, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud

and shall come into Egypt;

and the idols of Egypt shall tremble at His presence,

and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its midst.

2 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians,

and they shall fight every one against his brother,

and every one against his neighbor,

city against city,

and kingdom against kingdom.

3 (Isa 8:19; Da 2:2; 1Ch 10:13) The spirit of Egypt shall be discouraged

in their midst,

and I will destroy their counsel;

then they shall seek for the idols and for the charmers

and for the mediums and the sorcerers.

4 (Isa 20:4; Jer 46:26) The Egyptians I will give over

into the hand of a cruel lord,

and a fierce king shall rule over them,

says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.

5 (Jer 51:36; Eze 30:12) The waters from the sea shall dry up,

and the river shall be parched and dry.

6 (Isa 37:25; Ex 2:3) The canals shall emit a stench;

the streams of Egypt shall diminish and dry up;

the reeds and rushes shall wither.

7 The papyrus reeds by the brooks,

by the mouth of the brooks,

and everything sown by the brooks,

shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

8 (Eze 47:10; Hab 1:15) The fishermen also shall mourn,

and all those who cast a line into the brooks shall lament,

and those who spread nets on the waters

shall languish.

9 (Eze 27:7; Pr 7:16) Moreover those who work with fine flax

and those who weave white cloth shall be humiliated;

10 and the pillars of Egypt shall be crushed.

All the hired workers shall be grieved in soul.

11 (Nu 13:22; 1Ki 4:30) Surely the princes of Zoan are fools;

the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid.

How can you say to Pharaoh,

"I am a son of the wise,

a son of ancient kings?"

12 (1Co 1:20) Where are they? Where are your wise men?

Let them tell you now, and let them understand

what the Lord of Hosts

has purposed against Egypt.

13 (Jer 2:16; Eze 30:13 ) The princes of Zoan have become fools;

the princes of Memphis are deceived;

they have also seduced Egypt,

even those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.

14 (Job 12:25; Jer 25:27) The Lord has mingled

a perverse spirit in her;

so they have caused Egypt to err in her every work,

as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

15 (Isa 9:14-15) Nor shall there be any work for Egypt,

which its head or tail, its branch or bulrush, may do.

16 (Isa 11:15; Jer 51:30) In that day Egypt shall become like women.

And it shall be afraid and be in dread because of the shaking of the hand

of the Lord of Hosts which He is about to shake over it.

17 (Isa 14:24; Da 4:35) The land of Judah shall become a terror to Egypt.

Everyone to whom it is mentioned shall be in dread of it,

because of the counsel of the Lord of Hosts

which He has determined against it.

18 (Zep 3:9; Isa 19:21) In that day five cities in the land of Egypt

shall speak the language of Canaan and swear to the Lord of Hosts.

One shall be called the City of Destruction.

19 (Ge 28:18; Jos 22:10) In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord

in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.

20It shall be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land

of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors,

and He shall send them a Savior and a Champion. And He shall deliver them.

21 (Isa 11:9; Mal 1:11) The Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians

shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship with sacrifice

and offering, they shall make a vow to the Lord and perform it.

22 (Dt 32:39; Hos 14:1) The Lord shall strike Egypt. He shall strike

and heal it. Then they shall return to the Lord, and He shall be entreated

by them and shall heal them.

23 (Isa 11:16) In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria,

and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria,

and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.

24 (Isa 65:8; Ge 12:2) In that day Israel shall be the third group

with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the earth,

25 (Isa 29:23; Ps 100:3) whom the Lord of Hosts has blessed, saying,

"Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands,

and Israel My inheritance."

Isaiah 19

[1] The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and

shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his

presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

[2] And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight

every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city

against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

[3] And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will

destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the

charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

[4] And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a

fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

[5] And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted

and dried up.

[6] And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall

be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

[7] The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every

thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

[8] The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the

brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall

languish.

[9] Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks,

shall be confounded.

[10] And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices

and ponds for fish.

[11] Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise

counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the

son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

[12] Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and

let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

[13] The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived;

they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes

thereof.

[14] The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they

have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth

in his vomit.

[15] Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail,

branch or rush, may do.

[16] In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and

fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he

shaketh over it.

[17] And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that

maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of

the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

[18] In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language

of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of

destruction.

[19] In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the

land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

[20] And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in

the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the

oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall

deliver them.

[21] And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the

LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a

vow unto the LORD, and perform it.

[22] And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they

shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall

heal them.

[23] In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the

Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the

Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

[24] In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even

a blessing in the midst of the land:

[25] Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people,

and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

Hosea 14

[1] O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine

iniquity.

[2] Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all

iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

[3] Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we

say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the

fatherless findeth mercy.

[4] I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger

is turned away from him.

[5] I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast

forth his roots as Lebanon.

[6] His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree,

and his smell as Lebanon.

[7] They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the

corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of

Lebanon.

[8] Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard

him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit

found.

[9] Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall

know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in

them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

2) Our Daily Bread for 16 July 2026 titled

Who Do You Need? By Mike Wittmer

1 Corinthians 12:12-14,18,21-27

One Body With Many Members

12 (1Co 12:27; 10:17) For as the body is one and has many parts,

and all the many parts of that one body are one body, so also is Christ.

13 (Jn 7:37-39; Gal 3:28) For by one Spirit we are all baptised

into one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, whether we are slaves

or free, and we have all been made to drink of one Spirit.

14 The body is not one part, but many.

18 (1Co 12:11; 12:28) But now God has established the parts,

every one of them, in the body as it has pleased Him.

22 No, those parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

23 And those parts of the body which we think are less honorable,

upon these we bestow more abundant honor. And our less respectable

parts are treated with much more respect,

24 whereas our more respectable parts have no need of this.

But God has composed the body, having given more abundant honour

to that part which lacks it,

25 so that there should be no division in the body,

but that the parts should have the same care for one another.

26 (Ro 12:15) If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it,

and if one part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it.

27 (Ro 12:5; Eph 1:23) Now you are the body of Christ

and members individually.

[12] For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of

that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

[13] For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews

or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink

into one Spirit.

[14] For the body is not one member, but many.

[18] But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it

hath pleased him.

[21] And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again

the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

[22] Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble,

are necessary:

[23] And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable,

upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more

abundant comeliness.

[24] For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body

together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

[25] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should

have the same care one for another.

[26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one

member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

[27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

A famous athlete sat tall in his seat as he prepared to fly to the

championship bout he knew he'd win. A flight attendant walked by and said,

"Sir, please fasten your seat belt." The man smiled. "Superman don't need no

seat belt." She replied without missing a beat, "Superman don't need no

airplane. Buckle up." And he did.

Success can swell our heads. We don't need a seatbelt or a flight attendant

telling us what to do. We can take care of ourselves. If we bring this

attitude to church, we're like an eye that says to the hand, "I don't need

you!" or a head that says to the feet, "I don't need you!"

(1 Corinthians 12:21). The truth is, every part of the body is needed, and

"those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable" (v. 22).

We're made in the image of the triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

who thrive in an interdependent community of love. The God who exists in

perfect relationship within Himself made us to be in relationship with others

in life and in the church. We're not all the same, and that's a good thing.

"If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?" (v. 17).

We're not all the same but we're all "indispensable" (v. 22). Who helps you at

your local body of Christ? Tell them you notice, that you see them, and thank

them for their service. And ask God to show you where you can serve other

believers.

Reflect & Pray

Why did God create us to need others?

Who can you thank for their service to you?

Dear Jesus, please empower me to serve others from where You've placed me.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 5 - 1 John 1:9

9 (Ps 32:5; Pr 28:13) If we confess our sins, He is faithful

and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive

us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

"If God already knows everything about me, everything I've done,

then why do I need to confess it?" Grant struggled with a common

dilemma for many Christians. Indeed, God, knew all his sin - much

better than Grant did himself. But Grant needed to confess,

not for God's benefit, but for his own. Grant needed to agree with God

that his sin was wrong, and put himself in a position to receive God's

grace in forgiveness.

1 John 1:9 make the process quit clear. We confess,

and God forgives and cleanses. Many of us, however, want to take on

God's part as well. We confess, agreeing with God that our sin is wrong.

But then we proceed to try to 'clean up our act,'bargaining with God,

promising that if he will forgive us just this once,

we won't ever to it again.

The problem is, we can never keep such a promise.

We probably will do it again, and then we are back where we started,

begging for forgiveness, and trying once more to cleanse

ourselves for our unrighteousness.

God offers freedom from such futile performance. He says, "Just confess.

Agree that you sinned. Submit yourself to me. Then I'll take over from there."

God's grace does not give us freedom to keep on sinning, of course - we need

to cooperate with the work of his Spirit in our lives and do all we can

to avoid sin. But we do not have to beg God for forgiveness - forgiveness

is offered to us freely.

We do not have to clean up out act before God will accept us; God can make

the necessary changes in our lives. When we confess, submit ourselves to God,

and allow him to work within us, he is able both to forgive us and to cleanse

us from unrighteousness.

Application

a) In what ways have I bartered with God and tried to "Clean up my act"

in order to deserve his forgiveness?

b) What is my part in confession? What is God's response?

Why it is important for me to recognize God's part in my

confession and forgiveness?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Deut 29:9

9 (Dt 4:6; Jos 1:7)Therefore, keep the words of this covenant

and do them, so that you may prosper in all you do.

9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,

that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

When you are ill or injured

Psalm 103:1-5

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

Who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;

So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Where do Muslims live?

Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers

to our shores. Where do they live? How can we pray for these areas? Use this as

your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.

Data for those population figures is extrapolated for the 2011 National

Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have

also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims

self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on

the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total

Canadian population, not provincial

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

And

Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you.

But if I go, I will send Him to you.

8 When He comes, He will convict the world of sin

and of righteousness and of judgment"

19 Now we know that whatever the law says,

it says to those who are under the law,

so that every mouth may be silenced,

and all the world may become accountable to God.

no flesh will be justified in His sight,

for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are

under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become

guilty before God.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified

in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,

that each one may receive his recompense in the body,

according to what he has done,

whether it was good or bad.

may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,

that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,

[9] And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee

to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.

[10] I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and

used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

[11] Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice

bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the

fields.

[12] And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife,

and for a wife he kept sheep.

[13] And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet

was he preserved.

[14] Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave

his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.

Hosea 13

God's Unrelenting Judgment on Israel

1 (Hos 11:2) When Ephraim spoke, trembling, he was exalted in Israel.

But he incurred guilt through Baal worship and he died.

2 (Isa 44:17-20; 46:6) And now they continue sinning

and have made a cast image for themselves,

idols of their silver, according to their understanding;

all of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them,

"Those who sacrifice Or those who offer human sacrifice.

are kissing calves!"

3 (Ps 68:2; Hos 6:4) Therefore they will be like the morning cloud,

or like the early dew that passes away,

like chaff blown off the threshing floor,

or like the smoke from a chimney.

4 (Hos 12:9; Isa 45:21-22) Yet I am the Lord your God

ever since the land of Egypt.

You know no God but Me,

and there is no savior besides Me.

5 (Dt 2:7; 8:15) I knew [Or fed.] you in the wilderness,

in the land of great drought.

6 (Dt 32:13-15) When they had pasture, they were satisfied.

They were satisfied, and their heart was exalted;

therefore they forgot Me.

7 (Jer 5:6; Hos 5:14) So I will be like a lion to them,

like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

8 (2 Sa 17:8; Pr 17:12) I will attack them like a bear bereaved of her cubs,

and will tear open their rib cage.

There I will devour them like a lion,

as the wild beast would tear them to pieces.

9 (Dt 33:26; Jer 2:17) O Israel, you are destroyed,Heb. he has destroyed you.

but in Me is your help.

10 (Hos 8:4; 1Sa 8:5-6) Where now is your king

that he may save you in all your cities?

And where are your judges of whom you said,

"Give me a king and princes"?

11 (1Sa 10:19) I gave you a king in My anger,

and took him away in My wrath.

12 (Job 14:17; Dt 32:34-35) The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;

his sin is stored up.

13 (Isa 13:8; Mic 4:9-10) The pains of childbirth come for him.

He is an unwise son,

for he does not present himself

at the opening of the womb.

14 (Ps 49:15; Isa 25:8) I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.

I will redeem them from Death.

O Death, where are your plagues?

O Sheol, where is your sting?

Compassion is hidden from My eyes.

15 (Eze 19:12; 17:10) Though he be fruitful among his brothers,

the east wind will come, a wind of the Lord,

rising from the wilderness.

And his spring shall become dry,

his fountain shall be dried up.

It shall plunder his treasury

of every desirable thing.

16 (2Ki 8:12; 15:16; Isa 13:16) Samaria will be held guilty,

for she has rebelled against her God.

They will fall by the sword,

their infants will be dashed to pieces,

and their pregnant women will be ripped open.

Hosea 13

[1] When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he

offended in Baal, he died.

[2] And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of

their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the

work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the

calves.

[3] Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that

passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the

floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

[4] Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no

god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

[5] I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

[6] According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and

their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

[7] Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I

observe them:

[8] I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend

the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild

beast shall tear them.

[9] O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

[10] I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy

cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

[11] I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

[12] The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.

[13] The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise

son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of

children.

[14] I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from

death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction:

repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

[15] Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the

wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall

become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure

of all pleasant vessels.

[16] Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God:

they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and

their women with child shall be ripped up.

Hosea 14

A Plea for Repentance

1 (Hos 6:1; 12:6) Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,

for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

2 (Heb 13:15; Ps 69:30-31) Take words with you

and return to the Lord.

Say to Him,

"Take away all iniquity,

and accept that which is good;

and we will offer the fruit [Gk. Syr.; Heb. bulls.] of our lips!

3 (Ps 10:14; 33:17) Assyria will not save us,

we will not ride on horses.

We will no longer say, 'Our God,'

to the work of our hands.

In You the orphan finds mercy."

4 (Zep 3:17; Isa 12:1) I will heal their backsliding;

I will love them freely,

for My anger has turned away from him.

5 (Isa 35:2; Job 29:19) I will be like the dew to Israel;

he shall grow like the lily

and shall strike his roots

like Lebanon.

6 (Ps 52:8) His branches will spread out,

and his beauty shall be like the olive tree,

and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.

7 (Ps 91:1) Those that dwell under his shadow will return,

they will flourish like the grain

and grow as a vine.

Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8 (Job 34:32; Isa 41:19) O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?

It is I who answer and look after him.

I am like a green fir tree;

your fruit is found in Me.

9 (Ps 107:43; Pr 10:29) Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;

whoever prudent, let him know them.

For the ways of the Lord are right,

and the just will walk in them;

but the transgressors stumble in them.

Hosea 10

Israel's Sin and Captivity

1 (Hos 8:11; 1Ki 14:23) Israel is a fertile vine

that brings forth its fruit.

As his fruit multiplied,

so his altars increased;

as his land prospered,

so heHeb. they. improved his pillars.

2 (1Ki 18:21; Mic 5:13) Their heart is divided;

now they must bear their guilt.

He will break down their altars

and destroy their pillars.

3Hos 10:7; 10:15 For now they will say,

"We have no king,

because we do not fear the Lord;

and a king, what could he do for us?"

4 (Am 5:7; 2Ki 17:3-4) They speak mere words,

swearing falsely

in making a covenant.

Thus judgment springs up like a poisonous plant

in the furrows of the field.

5 (Hos 9:11; 2Ki 23:5) The inhabitants of Samaria fear

because of the calf of Beth Aven.

For its people mourn for it,

and its priests shriek for it,

because its glory has departed from it.

6 (Hos 5:13; Isa 30:3) It will be carried to Assyria

as a tribute to King Jareb.Or the great king.

Ephraim shall be put to shame,

and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.Or counsel.

7 (Hos 10:3) As for Samaria, her king will perish

like a twig on the water.

8 (Hos 9:6; Lk 23:30) The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,

will be destroyed.

Thorn and thistle will grow

on their altars.

They will say to the mountains, Cover us,

and to the hills, Fall on us.

9 (Hos 9:9) O Israel, you have sinned since the days of Gibeah.

There they have continued.Heb. he has destroyed you.

Will not the war in Gibeah against evildoers

overtake them?

10 (Eze 5:13; Jer 16:16) When I desire, I will punish them.

The nations will be gathered against them

when they are disciplined [Gk.; Heb. bound.] for their two transgressions.

11 (Dt 25:4; Jer 50:11) Ephraim is a trained heifer

that loves to thresh grain,

but I harnessed her fair neck;

I will make Ephraim pull a plow.

Judah will plow;

Jacob shall furrow for himself.

12 (Isa 45:8; Pr 11:18) Sow to yourselves righteousness,

reap mercy,

break up your fallow ground;

for it is time to seek the Lord,

until He comes

and rains righteousness upon you.

13 (Job 4:8; Ps 33:16) You have plowed wickedness.

You have reaped iniquity,

and you have eaten the fruit of lies.

Because you have trusted in your power

and in the numbers of your warriors,

14 (Hos 13:16) therefore a tumult will arise among your people,

and all your fortresses will be destroyed

as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle;

mothers were dashed to pieces upon their children.

15 (Hos 10:5; 10:7) So will it be done to you, O Bethel,

because of your great wickedness.

At dawn

the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.

Hosea 10

[1] Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according

to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the

goodness of his land they have made goodly images.

[2] Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break

down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

[3] For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD;

what then should a king do to us?

[4] They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus

judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

[5] The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven:

for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that

rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.

[6] It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim

shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

[7] As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.

[8] The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the

thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to

the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

[9] O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood:

the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

[10] It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be

gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.

[11] And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the

corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride;

Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

[12] Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow

ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness

upon you.

[13] Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the

fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy

mighty men.

[14] Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses

shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the

mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

[15] So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a

morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

Hosea 11

God's Love for Israel

1 (Ex 4:22; Mt 2:15) When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called My son.

2 (Hos 2:13; Isa 65:7) As I [Gk. Syr.; Heb. bulls.] called them,

so they went from Me. Or those who offer human sacrifice.

They sacrificed to the Baals

and burned incense to idols.

3 (Dt 1:31; Jer 30:17) I taught Ephraim to walk,

taking them up in My [Gk. Syr. Vulg.; Heb. his.] arms,

but they did not know

that I healed them.

4 (Lev 26:13; Jn 12:32) I drew them with cords of human kindness,

[Heb. cords of a man.]

with bands of love.

I was to them as those who ease the yoke on their neck, Or jaws.

and I bent down and fed them.

5 (Hos 7:16; 2Ki 17:13-14) He will return

[So LXX. Heb. He not will return.] to the land of Egypt,

and Assyria will be his king,

because they refused to return to Me.

6 (Hos 13:16; 10:6) The sword slashes in their cities,

consumes their oracle-priests,

and devours because of their own counsels.

7 (Jer 8:5; Hos 11:2) My people are bent on backsliding fromMe.

Though they called to the Most High,

none at all exalt Him.

8 (Ge 14:8; Dt 29:23; Hos 6:4) How can I give you up, Ephraim?

How can I hand you over, Israel?

How can I make you like Admah?

How can I treat you like Zeboyim?

My heart churns within Me;

My compassion is stirred.

9 (Nu 23:19; Isa 12:6; Jer 30:11) I will not execute the fierceness

of My anger;

I will not again destroy Ephraim.

For I am God, and not man,

the Holy One in your midst,

and I will not come in wrath.

10 (Isa 31:4; Joel 3:16) They will walk after the Lord,

who roars like a lion.

When He roars,

His children will come trembling from the west.

11 (Isa 11:11; 60:8 )They will come trembling

like a bird out of Egypt

and like a dove from the land of Assyria.

And I will let them dwell in their houses,

says the Lord.

God's Charge Against Ephraim

12 Ephraim has surrounded Me with lies,

and the house of Israel with deceit.

But Judah still walks with God,

and is faithful to the Holy One.Or holy ones.

Hosea 11

[1] When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

[2] As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim,

and burned incense to graven images.

[3] I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew

not that I healed them.

[4] I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them

as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

[5] He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be

his king, because they refused to return.

[6] And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches,

and devour them, because of their own counsels.

[7] And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them

to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

[8] How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how

shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is

turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

[9] I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to

destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of

thee: and I will not enter into the city.

[10] They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he

shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

[11] They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the

land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

[12] Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with

deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
