Professor Horner’s Reading Plan

Read through the Bible in one year by reading 10 chapters a day from 10 different sections of the Bible using the Professor Grant Horner Bible reading plan.

Today, we are reading Luke 13; Numbers 29; Hebrews 3; 2 Timothy 2; Job 22; Psalms 146; Proverbs 22; 2 Kings 20; Ezekiel 23; Acts 6.

Luke 13

1	There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2	And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3	I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4	Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5	I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6	He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7	Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why encumbereth it the ground?
8	And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9	And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10	And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11	And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12	And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13	And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14	And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15	The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16	And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17	And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18	Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20	And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21	It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22	And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23	Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24	Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25	When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26	Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27	But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28	There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29	And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30	And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31	The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32	And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33	Nevertheless I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35	Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Numbers 29

1	And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
2	And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
3	And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram,
4	And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
5	And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you:
6	Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
7	And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:
8	But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savor; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:
9	And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,
10	A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
11	One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.
12	And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days:
13	And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:
14	And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams,
15	And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:
16	And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
17	And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
18	And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
19	And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings.
20	And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish;
21	And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
22	And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
23	And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:
24	Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
25	And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
26	And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
27	And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
28	And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29	And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:
30	And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
31	And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
32	And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:
33	And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
34	And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
35	On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein:
36	But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
37	Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:
38	And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
39	These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.
40	And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

Hebrews 3

1	Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2	Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3	For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house.
4	For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5	And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6	But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7	Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice,
8	Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9	When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10	Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11	So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12	Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13	But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14	For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
15	While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16	For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17	But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18	And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19	So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

2 Timothy 2

1	Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2	And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3	Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4	No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5	And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6	The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7	Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8	Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9	Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10	Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11	It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12	If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13	If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14	Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15	Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16	But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17	And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18	Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19	Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20	But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21	If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22	Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23	But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do engender strifes.
24	And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25	In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26	And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Job 22

1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2	Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3	Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
4	Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5	Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6	For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for naught, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7	Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withheld bread from the hungry.
8	But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.
9	Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10	Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11	Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
12	Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13	And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14	Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
15	Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16	Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
17	Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
18	Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19	The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
20	Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
21	Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22	Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23	If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24	Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25	Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26	For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27	Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28	Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29	When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30	He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

Psalms 146

1	Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2	While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3	Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4	His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5	Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6	Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth forever:
7	Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8	The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9	The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10	The LORD shall reign forever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Proverbs 22

1	A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
2	The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
3	A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4	By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honor, and life.
5	Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6	Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7	The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8	He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9	He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10	Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11	He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12	The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13	The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14	The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
15	Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16	He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17	Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18	For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19	That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20	Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21	That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22	Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23	For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24	Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25	Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
26	Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
27	If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28	Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29	Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

2 Kings 20

1	In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2	Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
3	I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4	And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
5	Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
6	And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
7	And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8	And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
9	And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10	And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
11	And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
12	At that time Berodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
13	And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
14	Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
15	And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
16	And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
17	Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
18	And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
19	Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
20	And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
21	And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

Ezekiel 23

1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2	Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3	And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
4	And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
5	And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6	Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7	Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
8	Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
9	Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10	These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
11	And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
12	She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbors, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
13	Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
14	And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15	Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
16	And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17	And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
18	So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
19	Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20	For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21	Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
22	Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
23	The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
24	And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
25	And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26	They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
27	Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28	For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:
29	And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
30	I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
31	Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
32	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
33	Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
34	Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the shards thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
35	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
36	The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
37	That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bore unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
38	Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
39	For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
40	And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
41	And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
42	And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
43	Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?
44	Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
45	And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46	For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
47	And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48	Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
49	And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Acts 6

1	And in those days, when the number of the disciples were multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2	Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3	Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4	But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5	And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6	Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7	And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8	And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9	Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10	And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11	Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12	And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13	And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14	For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15	And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
