Section 1

Deuteronomy 7:1-11

11 verses

Deuteronomy Chapter 7

1When ForeverOne your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you; 2and when ForeverOne your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them; 3neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.

4For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other Gods: so the anger of ForeverOne would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

5But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire.

6For you are a holy people to ForeverOne your God: ForeverOne your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

7ForeverOne didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: 8but because ForeverOne loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has ForeverOne brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9Know therefore that ForeverOne your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations, 10and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.

11You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.

Section 2

Ezekiel 40:44-41:20

26 verses

Ezekiel Chapter 40

44Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

45He said to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house; 46and the room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to ForeverOne to minister to him.

47He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

48Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

49The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

Ezekiel Chapter 41

1He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tent.

2The breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.

3Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.

4He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

5Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

6The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might have hold [therein], and not have hold in the wall of the house.

7The side rooms were broader as they encompassed [the house] higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher around the house: therefore the breadth of the house [continued] upward; and so one went up [from] the lowest [room] to the highest by the middle [room].

8I saw also that the house had a raised base all around: the foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.

9The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

10Between the rooms was a breadth of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

11The doors of the side rooms were toward [the place] that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits all around.

12The building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.

13So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long; 14also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.

15He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court; 16the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, over against the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and [from] the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered), 17to [the space] above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.

18It was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces; 19so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. [thus was it] made through all the house all around: 20from the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

Section 3

Proverbs 28:12-29:10

27 verses

Proverbs Chapter 28

12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

13He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

14Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

15As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

16A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.

17A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death; no one will support him.

18Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.

19One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.

20A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.

21To show partiality is not good; yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

22A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn't know that poverty waits for him.

23One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.

24Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer.

25One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in ForeverOne will prosper.

26One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

27One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.

28When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.

Proverbs Chapter 29

1He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

2When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

3Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

4The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.

5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

6An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad.

7The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren't concerned about knowledge.

8Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.

9If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.

10The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity; and they seek the life of the upright.

Section 4

Hebrews 10:1-25

25 verses

Hebrews Chapter 10

1For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

2Or else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

3But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.

4For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

5So when he comes into the world, he says, "You didn't desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.

6You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.

7Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.'" 8Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered according to the law), 9then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, 10by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus AnointedOne once for all.

11Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, 12but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

14For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying, 16"This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'" then he says, 17"I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more." 18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, 21and having a great priest over God's house, 22let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water, 23let's hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

24Let's consider how to provoke one another to love and good actions, 25not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
