Through My Bible Yr 2 – March 18
Bible reading based on Jeremiah 9:23-10:25 (NIV84) 23 This is what the LORD says: 24 but let him who boasts boast about this: 25 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh- 26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the desert in distant places. [a]For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.” 1 Hear what the LORD says to you, O house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says:
3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; 4 They adorn it with silver and gold; 5 Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, 6 No one is like you, O LORD; 7 Who should not revere you,
8 They are all senseless and foolish; 9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish 10 But the LORD is the true God; 11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.’ ” [b] 12 But God made the earth by his power; 13 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; 14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; 15 They are worthless, the objects of mockery; 16 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, 17 Gather up your belongings to leave the land, 18 For this is what the LORD says: 19 Woe to me because of my injury! 20 My tent is destroyed; 21 The shepherds are senseless 22 Listen! The report is coming— 23 I know, O LORD, that a man’s life is not his own; 24 Correct me, LORD, but only with justice— 25 Pour out your wrath on the nations Through My Bible – March 18

“Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the LORD.Jeremiah 10
