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 24; Numbers 31; 1 Corinthians 7; 1 Timothy 2; Job 25; Psalms 35; Proverbs 25; 2 Samuel 6; Jeremiah 19; Acts 27.

Luke 24

1	Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2	And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.
3	And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4	And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5	And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6	He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7	saying, the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8	And they remembered his words,
9	And returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10	It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
11	And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12	Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulcher; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
13	And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14	And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15	And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16	But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17	And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18	And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19	And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20	And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21	But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done.
22	Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulcher;
23	And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24	And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25	Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26	Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27	And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28	And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29	But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30	And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them.
31	And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32	And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the Scriptures?
33	And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34	saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35	And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36	And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37	But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38	And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39	Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40	And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41	And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42	And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.
43	And he took it, and did eat before them.
44	And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45	Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,
46	And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47	And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48	And ye are witnesses of these things.
49	And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50	And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51	And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52	And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53	And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Numbers 31

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2	Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3	And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
4	Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5	So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6	And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe them, and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7	And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8	And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9	And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10	And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11	And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12	And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
13	And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14	And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15	And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16	Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17	Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18	But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19	And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20	And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
21	And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22	Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23	Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
24	And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
26	Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27	And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28	And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beefs, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29	Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave offering of the LORD.
30	And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beefs, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31	And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32	And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33	And threescore and twelve thousand beefs,
34	And threescore and one thousand asses,
35	And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36	And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37	And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38	And the beefs were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
39	And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
40	And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.
41	And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42	And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43	(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44	And thirty and six thousand beefs,
45	And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46	And sixteen thousand persons;)
47	Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
48	And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49	And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50	We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
51	And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52	And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53	(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54	And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

1 Corinthians 7

1	Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2	Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3	Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4	The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5	Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6	But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7	For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8	I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9	But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10	And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11	But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12	But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13	And the woman which hath a husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14	For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15	But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16	For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17	But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
18	Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19	Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20	Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
21	Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22	For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
23	Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
24	Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
25	Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26	I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
27	Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28	But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
29	But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
30	And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31	And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32	But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33	But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34	There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35	And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36	But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
37	Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
38	So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
39	The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40	But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

1 Timothy 2

1	I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2	For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3	For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
4	Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5	For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6	Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7	Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
8	I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9	In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.
10	But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11	Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12	But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13	For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14	And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15	Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Job 25

1	Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2	Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
3	Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4	How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5	Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6	How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

Psalms 35

1	A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2	Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3	Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4	Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5	Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
6	Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
7	For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8	Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9	And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10	All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11	False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12	They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13	But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14	I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15	But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16	With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17	Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18	I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19	Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20	For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21	Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22	This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23	Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24	Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25	Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26	Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
27	Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28	And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

Proverbs 25

1	These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2	It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
3	The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4	Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the refiner.
5	Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6	Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7	For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8	Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
9	Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10	Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11	A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12	As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13	As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14	Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15	By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16	Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17	Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18	A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19	Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20	As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon niter, so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
21	If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22	For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
23	The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24	It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25	As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26	A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27	It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28	He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

2 Samuel 6

1	Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2	And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
3	And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4	And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
5	And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
6	And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
7	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
8	And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.
9	And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
10	So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11	And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.
12	And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.
13	And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14	And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15	So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16	And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17	And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18	And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
19	And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20	Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
21	And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
22	And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor.
23	Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

Jeremiah 19

1	Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
2	And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
3	And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4	Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5	They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:
6	Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
7	And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
8	And I will make this city desolate, and a hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9	And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
10	Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11	And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
12	Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
13	And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
14	Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said to all the people,
15	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

Acts 27

1	And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
2	And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3	And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4	And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5	And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6	And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7	And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8	And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9	Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10	And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11	Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12	And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the southwest and northwest.
13	And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14	But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15	And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16	And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17	Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.
18	And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19	And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20	And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21	But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22	And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
23	For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24	saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25	Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26	Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27	But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28	And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29	Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30	And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32	Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33	And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34	Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35	And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36	Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37	And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39	And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40	And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41	And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42	And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43	But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
44	And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
