Through My Bible Yr 1 – December 22
Bible reading based on Isaiah 20-22:14 (NIV84) 1 In the year that the supreme commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it- 2at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot. 3 Then the LORD said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, [a]4 so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old, with buttocks baredóto Egypt’s shame. 5 Those who trusted in Cush and boasted in Egypt will be afraid and put to shame. 6In that day the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’ ” 1 An oracle concerning the Desert by the Sea: 2 A dire vision has been shown to me:

A Prophecy Against Egypt and Cush
Isaiah 21
A Prophecy Against Babylon
Like whirlwinds sweeping through the southland,
an invader comes from the desert,
from a land of terror.
The traitor betrays, the looter takes loot.
Elam, attack! Media, lay siege!
I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.
pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor;
I am staggered by what I hear,
I am bewildered by what I see.
fear makes me tremble;
the twilight I longed for
has become a horror to me.

they eat, they drink!
Get up, you officers,
oil the shields!
“Go, post a lookout
and have him report what he sees.
with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
or riders on camels,
let him be alert,
fully alert.”

every night I stay at my post.
with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
‘Babylon has fallen, has fallen!
All the images of its gods

from the LORD Almighty,
from the God of Israel.A Prophecy Against Edom
Someone calls to me from Seir,
“Watchman, what is left of the night?
Watchman, what is left of the night?”

If you would ask, then ask;

that you have all gone up on the roofs,
O city of tumult and revelry?
Your slain were not killed by the sword,
nor did they die in battle.
they have been captured without using the bow.
All you who were caught were taken prisoner together,
having fled while the enemy was still far away.

Do not try to console me
over the destruction of my people.”

you stored up water
in the Lower Pool.

but you did not look to the One who made it,
or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.
