Jeremiah - Chapter 23
1: Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of
my pasture! saith the LORD. 2: Therefore thus saith the LORD God of
Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my
flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will
visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
3: And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries
whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds;
and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4: And I will set up shepherds
over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be
dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. 5: Behold, the
days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous
Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment
and justice in the earth. 6: In his days Judah shall be saved, and
Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be
called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7: Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they
shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8: But, The LORD liveth, which brought
up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north
country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they
shall dwell in their own land. 9: Mine heart within me is broken
because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man,
and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and
because of the words of his holiness. 10: For the land is full of
adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant
places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and
their force is not right. 11: For both prophet and priest are profane;
yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. 12:
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the
darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring
evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
13: And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they
prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. 14: I have seen
also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit
adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of
evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of
them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 15:
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold,
I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall:
for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all
the land. 16: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words
of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak
a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17:
They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall
have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the
imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 18: For who
hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his
word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19: Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a
grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the
wicked. 20: The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have
executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the
latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. 21: I have not sent these
prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22: But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to
hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way,
and from the evil of their doings. 23: Am I a God at hand, saith the
LORD, and not a God afar off? 24: Can any hide himself in secret places
that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and
earth? saith the LORD. 25: I have heard what the prophets said, that
prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26:
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies?
yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27: Which
think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they
tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my
name for Baal. 28: The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream;
and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the
chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29: Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a
hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 30: Therefore, behold, I am
against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one
from his neighbour. 31: Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the
LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 32: Behold, I am
against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell
them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness;
yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not
profit this people at all, saith the LORD. 33: And when this people, or
the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of
the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even
forsake you, saith the LORD. 34: And as for the prophet, and the
priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will
even punish that man and his house.
35: Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to
his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD
spoken? 36: And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for
every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words
of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God. 37: Thus shalt thou
say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath
the LORD spoken? 38: But since ye say, The burden of the LORD;
therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of
the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The
burden of the LORD; 39: Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly
forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and
your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: 40: And I will bring an
everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not
be forgotten.

Psalms - Chapter 72
1: Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the
king's son. 2: He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy
poor with judgment.
Psalms - Chapter 110
1: The LORD said unto my Lord (Christ), Sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 2: The LORD shall send the
rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine
enemies.
5: The Lord (King) at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the
day of his wrath.6: He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the
places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many
countries. 7: He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall
he lift up the head.
