4 Hear the Word of YAHUVEH, O house of Jacob and all the families of the
house of Israel. 5 So says YAHUVEH, What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they went
far from Me and have walked after vanity, and have become vain? 6 Nor did they say, Where is YAHUVEH who brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and of pits, in a dry land
and deep darkness, in a land that no man has passed through, and not a man has
lived there? 7 And I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruit and its goodness. But
when you went in, you defiled My land and made My inheritance an abomination. 8 The priests did not say, Where is YAHUVEH? And they who handle the Torah did
not know Me. And the shepherds rebelled against Me; and the prophets prophesied
by Baal, and went after things not profitable. 9 Therefore, I will contend with you, says YAHUVEH, and I will contend with your
sons’ sons. 10 For go to the isles of Kittim and see, and send to Kedar, and carefully
consider and see if there is any like this. 11 Has a nation changed its ELOHIM, and they were not ELOHIM? But My people have
changed their Glory without profiting. 12 Be amazed at this, O heavens, and be horrified; be completely desolated,
declares YAHUVEH. 13 For My people have done two evils: they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of
living waters, to hew out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold
no water. 14 Is Israel a servant? Or is he a servant of the house? Why has he become a
prey? 15 The young lions roared against him; they gave their voice. And they made his
land a waste; his cities are ruined, without inhabitant. 16 Also the sons of Noph and Tahpanhes have fed on your crown. 17 Have you not done this to yourself by your forsaking YAHUVEH your ELOHIM when
He led you by the way? 18 And now what is for you toward the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?
Or what for you toward Assyria, to drink the waters of the River Euphrates? 19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your apostasies shall reprove you.
Know, then, and see that your forsaking YAHUVEH your ELOHIM is evil and bitter;
and My fear is not in you, declares Adonai YAHUVEH of Hosts. 20 For long ago you broke your yoke and tore up your bonds. And you said, I will
not transgress, when on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down
like a harlot. 21 Yet I planted you a choice vine, wholly a true seed. How then have you turned
into the deteriorating shoots of a foreign vine to Me? 22 Though you wash yourself with potash, and multiply soap for yourself, your
iniquity is stained before Me, declares Adonai YAHUVEH. 23 How can you say, I am not defiled; I have not gone after Baals? See your way
in the valley; know what you have done! You are a swift camel crisscrossing her
ways; 24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness. In the passion of her desire she snuffs
up the wind in her time. Who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not
tire themselves; in her month they will find her. 25 Withhold your foot from being bare and your throat from thirst. But you said,
It is hopeless! For I love strangers, and after them I will go. 26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed.
They, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets are 27 saying to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You gave us birth. For
they turned their back to Me, and not the face. But in the time of their evil,
they will say, Arise, and save us! 28 But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if
they can save you in the time of your evil; for according to the number of your
cities are your gods, O Judah.
*~Jeremiah Chapter 4 ~*
1 If you will return, O Israel, says YAHUVEH, return to Me. And if you will turn
away from your hateful idols out of My face and will not waver, 2 and you will swear, As YAHUVEH lives, in truth, in justice, and in
righteousness; even the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him they
will glory.
Matthew 23:1–25:46
1 Then YAHUSHUA spoke to the crowd and to His disciples, 2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down on Moses’ seat. 3 Then all things, whatever he (Moses) tells you to keep, keep and do. But do
not do according to their works, for they talk, and do not do. 4 For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on the shoulders of
men, but they do not desire to move them with their finger. 5 And they do all their works to be seen by men. And they widen their tefillin
and lengthen the tekhelet (blue string in the tassel) of their robes. 6 And they love the chief places at festivals and the chief seats at the
synagogue. 7 And the greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabboni, Rabboni. 8 But do not you be called Rabboni (my great one) for One is your Great One, the
Messiah, and you are all brothers. 9 And call no one your father on earth, for One is your Father, the One in
Heaven. 10 Nor be called master, for One is your Master, the Messiah. 11 But he who is greater of you, let him be your servant. 12 And whoever will exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever will humble
himself shall be exalted. 13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the
kingdom of Heaven before men; for you do not enter, nor do you allow those
entering to go in. 14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour the houses of
widows, and pray at length as a pretext. Because of this you will receive more
abundant judgment. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you go about the sea and
the dry land to make one proselyte; and when he has become so, you make him
twofold more a son of Gehenna than yourselves. 16 Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the Holy Place, it is
nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the Holy Place is a debtor. 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold, or the Holy Place that
sanctifies the gold? 18 And you say, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears
by the gift on it, he is a debtor. 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies
the gift? 20Then the one swearing by the altar swears by it, and by all things on it. 21 And the one swearing by the Holy Place swears by it, and by the One dwelling
in it. 22 And the one swearing by Heaven swears by the throne of YAHUVEH, and by the
One sitting on it. 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithes of mint and
dill and cumin, and you have left aside the weightier matters of the Torah
judgment, and mercy, and faith. And these things were necessary for you to have
done, and these things you should not have forgotten. 24 Blind guides, straining out the gnat, but swallowing the camel! 25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of
the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of extortion and iniquity. 26 Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the
outside of them may become clean also. 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened
graves which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of bones of
the dead, and of all uncleanness. 28 So you also indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but within are full of
hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the
prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous. 30 And you say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have
been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 So you witness to yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the
prophets. 32 And you fill up the measure of your fathers. 33 Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How shall you escape the judgment of Gehenna? 34 Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets and wise ones and scribes.
And some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in
your synagogues and will persecute from city to city; 35 so that should come on you all the righteous blood poured out on the earth,
from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah
whom you murdered between the Holy Place and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation. 37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those sent to
her. How often I desired to gather your children in the way a bird gathers her
chicks under her wings! And you did not desire it. 38 Behold, “your house is left to you desolate.” 39 For I say to you, In no way shall you see Me from now on, until you say,
“Blessed is He who comes in the name of YAHUVEH.”
*~Matthew Chapter 24 ~*
1 And going out, YAHUSHUA left the sanctuary. And His disciples came to show Him
the construction of the sanctuary. 2 But YAHUSHUA said to them, Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to
you, There will not at all be left one stone on a stone which in no way will not
be thrown down. 3 And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him
privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And, what is the sign of
Your coming and of the end of the age? 4 And answering, YAHUSHUA said to them, See that no man deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, I am the Messiah. And they will cause
many to be deceived. 6 For you are bound to hear of revolutions and rumor of wars. Watch out and do
not be disturbed, for it is necessary that all these things happen, but it is
not yet the end. 7 For nation will be raised against nation and kingdom against kingdom; and
there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes against many places. 8 But all these are a beginning of sorrows. 9 Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and will kill you, and you will
be hated by all nations because of My name. 10 And then many will be offended, and they will deliver up one another and will
hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will be raised and will deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness shall have been multiplied, the love of the many will
grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end, that one will have eternal life. 14 And this good news of the Kingdom shall be published in all the earth for a
testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. 15 And when you see the sign of uncleanness and desolation, that was spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, which will stand in the holy place. He that reads let him
understand. 16 Then let those in Judea flee into the mountains; 17 the one on the roof, let him not go down to take anything out of his house; 18 and the one in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment. 19 But woe to the ones having a child in womb, and to those nursing in those
days! 20 And pray that your flight will not occur in winter nor on the Sabbath. 21 For there will be great suffering, such as has not happened from the
beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. 22 And except those days were shortened, not any flesh would live. But on
account of the chosen, those days will be shortened. 23 Then if anyone says to you, Behold, here is the Messiah! Or, Here! Do not
believe. 24 For false Messiahs and false prophets will rise up. And they will give great
signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. 25 Behold, I tell you beforehand. 26 Then if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness; do not go out.
Behold, He is in the inner rooms; do not believe. 27 For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west,
so also will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 For wherever the dead body may be, there the eagles will be gathered. 29 And immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the heaven,
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the SON OF YAHUVEH will appear in the heavens. And then
all the tribes of the land will wail. And they will see the SON OF YAHUVEH
coming on the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. 31 And He will send His cherubs with a great sound of a large trumpet, and they
will gather His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the
other. 32 But learn the parable of the fig tree when its branch becomes tender and it
puts out leaves, you know that the summer is near; 33 so also you, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the
doors. 34 Truly I say to you, In no way will this generation pass away until all these
things have occurred. 35 The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away,
never! 36 But as to that day and that hour, no one knows, neither the cherubs of
Heaven, except My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as they were in the days before the flood eating, and drinking, marrying,
and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark. 39 And they did not know until the flood came and took all away. So also will be
the coming of the Son of Man. 40 At that time two will be out in the field; the one is taken away, and the one
is left; 41 two grinding at the mill; one is taken away, and one is left. 42 Be alert, then, for you do not know in what hour your Master comes. 43 But know this, that if the house Master had known in what watch the thief
comes, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be dug through. 44 Because of this, you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the SON
OF YAHUVEH comes. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom his Master has set over His
household, to give to them the food in season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his Master shall find so doing when He comes. 47 Truly I say to you, He will set him over all He owns. 48 But if that wicked slave says in his heart, My Master delays to come, 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and to drink with the ones
drinking, 50 The master of that slave will come in a day in which he does not expect and
in an hour which he does not know, 51 and will cut him in two, and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites.
There will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth. *~Matthew Chapter 25 ~*
1 Then the kingdom of Heaven shall be compared to ten virgins who taking their
lamps, went out to a meeting of the bridegroom and the bride. 2 And five of them were wise, and five foolish. 3 Those being foolish, taking their lamps, did not take oil with them. 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But the bridegroom delaying all nodded and slept. 6 And at midnight, a cry occurred, Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go out to meet
him. 7 Then all those virgins were aroused and prepared their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are
gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, No, lest there not be enough for us and you.
But rather, go to those who sell and buy for yourselves. 10 But they going away to buy, the bridegroom came. And those ready went in with
him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. 11 And afterwards, the rest of the virgins also came, saying, Master, Master,
open to us. 12 But answering, he said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you. 13 Therefore, be alert, for you do not know the day nor the hour in which the
SON OF YAHUVEH comes. 14 For it is like a man who went on a journey. He called his servants and
delivered his possessions to them. 15 And to one indeed he gave five talents, and to another, two, and to another,
one, to each according to his ability. And he went immediately on his journey. 16 And going, the one who received the five talents worked with them and made
another five talents. 17 In the same way, the one with the two also did; he also gained another two. 18 But going away, the one who received the one dug in the earth and hid his
Master’s silver. 19 And after much time, the master of those slaves came and took account with
them. 20 And coming up, the one who received five talents brought another five talents
near, saying, Master, you delivered five talents to me. Behold, I gained another
five talents above them. 21 And his Master said to him, Well done, good and faithful slave. You were
faithful over a few things; I will set you over many. Enter into the joy of your
Master. 22 And the one who received two talents also coming up, he said, Master, you
delivered two talents to me. Behold, I have gained two other talents above them. 23 His Master said to him, Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful
over a few things, I will set you over many. Enter into the joy of your Master. 24 And the one who received the one talent also coming up, he said, Master, I
knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering
where you did not scatter; 25 and being afraid, going away, I hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you
have yours. 26 And answering, his Master said to him, Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I
reap where I did not sow, and I gather where I did not scatter. 27 Then you ought to have put my silver to the bankers, and coming I would have
received my own with interest. 28 Therefore, take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten
talents. 29 For to each who has, more will be given, and he will abound. But from him who
does not have, even that which he has will be taken from him. 30 And throw the worthless slave out into the outer darkness. There will be
weeping and gnashing of the teeth. 31 But when the SON OF YAHUVEH comes in His glory, and all the holy cherubs with
Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 And before Him shall be gathered all the nations; and He will separate them
from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And indeed He will set the sheep off His right, but the goats off the left
hand. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right, Come, the blessed of My Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me
drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison,
and you came to Me. 37 Then the righteous will answer, saying, Master, when did we see You hungry,
and fed You; or thirsting, and gave You drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in; or naked, and clothed
You? 39 And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? 40 And answering, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, In so far as
you did it to one of these, the least of My brothers, you did it to Me. 41 Then He will also say to those on His left, Go away from Me, cursed ones,
into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the Devil and his cherubs. 42 For I hungered, and you did not give Me a thing to eat. I thirsted and you
did not give Me a thing to drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you did not take Me in; naked, and you did not clothe
Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me. 44 Then they also will answer Him, saying, Master, when did we see You
hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did
not minister to You? 45 Then He will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, in so far as you did
not do it to one of these, the least, neither did you do it to Me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into
everlasting life.
