Numbers Chapter 23

²¹He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. ForeverOne his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.

²²God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.

²³Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done!

²⁴Behold, the people rises up as a lioness, As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain." ²⁵Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all." ²⁶But Balaam answered Balak, "Didn't I tell you, saying, 'All that ForeverOne speaks, that I must do?'" ²⁷Balak said to Balaam, "Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse me them from there." ²⁸Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.

²⁹Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams." ³⁰Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

Numbers Chapter 24

¹When Balaam saw that it pleased ForeverOne to bless Israel, he didn't go, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

²Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.

³He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says; ⁴he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open: ⁵How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!

⁶As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which ForeverOne has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.

Ezekiel Chapter 1

¹Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

²In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, ³the word of ForeverOne came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of ForeverOne was there on him.

⁴I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

⁵Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

⁶Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

⁷Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

⁸They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings [thus]: ⁹their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.

¹⁰As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.

¹¹Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.

¹²Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.

¹³As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: [the fire] went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

¹⁴The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

¹⁵Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

¹⁶The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

¹⁷When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.

¹⁸As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

¹⁹When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

²⁰Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

²¹When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

²²Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched forth over their heads above.

²³Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other: each one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

²⁴When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.

²⁵There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

²⁶Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.

²⁷I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

Psalm 120

A Song of Ascents.

¹In my distress, I cried to ForeverOne. He answered me.

²Deliver my soul, ForeverOne, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

³What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

⁴Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

⁵Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁶My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

⁷I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.

Psalm 121

A Song of Ascents.

¹I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

²My help comes from ForeverOne, who made heaven and earth.

³He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

⁴Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ForeverOne is your keeper. ForeverOne is your shade on your right hand.

⁶The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

⁷ForeverOne will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

⁸ForeverOne will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.

Psalm 122

A Song of Ascents. By David.

¹I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to ForeverOne's house!" ²Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem; ³Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together; ⁴where the tribes go up, even EverOne's tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of ForeverOne.

⁵For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

⁷Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

⁸For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you." ⁹For the sake of the house of ForeverOne our God, I will seek your good.

Psalm 123

A Song of Ascents.

¹To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.

²Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to ForeverOne, our God, until he has mercy on us.

³Have mercy on us, ForeverOne, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

⁴Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Galatians Chapter 6

¹Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren't tempted.

²Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of the AnointedOne.

³For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁴But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

⁵For each man will bear his own burden.

⁶But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

⁷Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

⁸For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

⁹Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up.

¹⁰So then, as we have opportunity, let's do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

¹¹See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

¹²As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised; just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of AnointedOne.

¹³For even they who receive circumcision don't keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

¹⁴But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus AnointedOne, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁵For in AnointedOne Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but [being] a new creation.

¹⁶As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God's Israel.

¹⁷From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

¹⁸The grace of our Lord Jesus AnointedOne be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
