Jeremiah 1:1–2:3
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who resided in
Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the Word of YAHUVEH came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king
of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It also came in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to
the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to
the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. 4 Then the Word of YAHUVEH was to me, saying, 5 I knew you before I formed you in the belly; and before you came out of the
womb, I sanctified you. I appointed you a prophet to the nations. 6 Then I said, Ah, Adonai YAHUVEH! Behold, I do not know how to speak for I am a
boy. 7 But YAHUVEH said to me, Do not say, I am a boy; for you shall go to all that I
shall send you. And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you, says
YAHUVEH. 9 Then YAHUVEH put out His hand and touched my mouth. And YAHUVEH said to me,
Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth. 10 Behold, I have today appointed you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to
root out, and to tear down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to
plant. 11 And the Word of YAHUVEH was to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I
said, I see an almond rod. 12 Then YAHUVEH said to me, You have seen well; for I will watch over My Word to
perform it. 13 And the Word of YAHUVEH came to me the second time, saying, What do you see?
And I said, I see a boiling pot; and its face is from the face of the north. 14 And YAHUVEH said to me, Out of the north, evil will be set loose on all those
living in the land. 15 For, behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,
declares YAHUVEH. And they shall come, and they will give to each his throne at
the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against its walls all around, and
against the cities of Judah. 16 And I will speak My judgments against them regarding all their evil, those
who have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods, and have worshiped
the works of their hands. 17 And you must gird up your loins, and rise up and speak to them all that I
command you. Do not be terrified before their faces, that I not prostrate you
before them. 18 For, behold, today I have made you a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and
bronze walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against her
princes, against her priests, and to the people of the land. 19 And they shall fight against you; but they shall not overcome you. For I am
with you to deliver you, declares YAHUVEH.
*~Jeremiah Chapter 2 ~*
1 And was the Word of YAHUVEH to me, saying, 2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, So says YAHUVEH, I remember you,
the kindness of your youth, the love of your espousals, your going after Me in
the wilderness, in a land not sown. 3 Israel was holy to YAHUVEH, the first-fruits of His increase. All that devour
him become guilty; evil shall come on them, declares YAHUVEH.
1 Peter 3:8–4:19
8 And, finally, let all live in harmony, that ye be sympathetic with them who
suffer, and affectionate one to another, and be merciful and kind. 9 Not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, on the contrary,
give blessing; knowing that you were called to this in order that you might
inherit blessing. 10 “For the one desiring to love life, and to see good days, let him restrain
his tongue from evil, even his lips not to speak guile. 11 Let him turn aside from evil, and let him do good. Let him seek peace, and
pursue it; 12 because the eyes of YAHUVEH are on the righteous, and His ears are open to
their prayer. But the face of YAHUVEH is against any doing evil things.” 13 And who is the one who can harm you if you become zealous followers of that
which is good? 14 But if you truly suffer because of righteousness sake, you are blessed. “and
be not afraid of those who terrify you, neither be disturbed. 15 But sanctify the Messiah as Sovereign in your hearts, and always be ready to
give an answer to everyone asking you a reason concerning the hope of your
faith, with meekness and fear, 16 having a good conscience, that while they speak against you as evildoers,
they may be shamed, those falsely accusing your good behavior in Messiah. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of ELOHIM, to suffer for doing good deeds
rather than for doing evil. 18 Because even Messiah once suffered concerning sins, the just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to ELOHIM; indeed being put to death in the flesh, but
made alive in the Spirit; 19 and he preached to those souls, which were detained in Hades, 20 which were formerly disobedient, in the days of Noah, when the long suffering
of ELOHIM commanded an ark to be made, in hope of their repentance; and eight
souls only entered into it, and were saved upon the water. 21 And you also are saved in that same manner by baptism, not merely when you
wash the filth from the body, but by confessing YAHUVEH with a pure conscience,
and by the resurrection of YAHUSHUA the Messiah; 2 2who going into Heaven is at the right hand of YAHUVEH; cherubs, and
authorities, and powers being made subject to Him.
*~1 Peter Chapter 4 ~*
1 Therefore, Messiah having suffered for us in the flesh, also you arm
yourselves with the same thought, because he having suffered in the flesh has
been made to rest from sin, 2 for him no longer to live in the lusts of men, but to live the remaining time
in the flesh in the will of ELOHIM. 3 For the time of life having passed is sufficient for us to have worked out the
will of the pagans, having gone on in wantonness, lusts, drunkenness, parties,
indecent singing, and lawless idolatries; 4 in which they are surprised that you do not indulge with them into past
excesses and they blaspheme against you; 5 who will give account to ELOHIM, who is to judge the living and dead. 6 For to this end also the good news was preached to the dead, that they might
be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to ELOHIM in
the Spirit. 7 But the end of all things has drawn near. Be of sound mind then, and be
mindful of prayers; 8 and above all things having fervent love to yourselves, “Because love will
cover a multitude of sins.” 9 Be hospitable to strangers without murmurings, 10 so let each one of you according to the gift he received from ELOHIM,
minister the same to your fellowman as good stewards of the manifold grace of
ELOHIM. 11 If any man preach, let him preach the word of YAHUVEH; if anyone ministers,
let him do so according to the ability that ELOHIM has given him that in all
things that you may do, YAHUVEH may be glorified through YAHUSHUA Messiah; to
whom belongs glory and honor forever and ever. Amen. 12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial happening among you for your
testing, as if a surprise were occurring to you; 13 but rejoice, that you participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so
you may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory. 14 If you are reviled in the name of Messiah, you are blessed, because “The
glorious Spirit of ELOHIM rests upon you.” 15 For do not let any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer,
or as a meddler in the affairs of others. 16 But if one suffers as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but to glorify
ELOHIM in this respect. 17 Because the time has come that judgment must begin with the house of YAHUVEH;
and if it first begins with us, what will be the end of the ones disobeying the
good news of ELOHIM? 18 And “if the righteous is scarcely saved, where will the wicked and sinner
appear?” 19 Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the will of YAHUVEH, commit their
souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.
