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 John 8; Exodus 26; Hebrews 11; 1 Timothy 3; Job 14; Psalms 76; Proverbs 14; 1 Samuel 27; Jeremiah 10; Acts 20.

John 8

1	Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2	And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3	And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4	They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5	Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6	This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7	So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8	And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9	And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10	When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11	She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12	Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13	The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14	Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15	Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16	And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17	It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18	I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19	Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20	These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21	Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22	Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23	And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24	I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25	Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26	I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27	They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28	Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29	And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30	As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31	Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32	And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33	They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34	Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35	And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever.
36	If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37	I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38	I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39	They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40	But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41	Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42	Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43	Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44	Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45	And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46	Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47	He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48	Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49	Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and ye do dishonor me.
50	And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51	Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52	Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53	Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54	Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55	Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56	Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57	Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58	Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59	Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Exodus 26

1	Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
2	The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
3	The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
4	And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvage in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
5	Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.
6	And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
7	And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
8	The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure.
9	And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.
10	And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outermost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
11	And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
12	And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.
13	And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14	And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.
15	And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.
16	Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.
17	Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
18	And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.
19	And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
20	And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:
21	And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
22	And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.
23	And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
24	And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
25	And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
26	And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
27	And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward.
28	And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.
29	And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.
30	And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was showed thee in the mount.
31	And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:
32	And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.
33	And thou shalt hang up the veil under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony: and the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.
34	And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
35	And thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side.
36	And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
37	And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.

Hebrews 11

1	Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2	For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3	Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4	By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5	By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6	But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7	By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8	By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9	By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10	For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11	Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12	Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13	These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14	For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15	And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16	But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17	By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18	Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19	Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
20	By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21	By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshiped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22	By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23	By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
24	By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25	Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26	Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
27	By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28	Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29	By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned.
30	By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
31	By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32	And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33	Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34	Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35	Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36	And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37	They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38	(Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39	And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40	God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

1 Timothy 3

1	This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2	A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3	Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4	One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5	(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6	Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7	Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8	Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9	Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10	And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11	Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12	Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13	For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14	These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
15	But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16	And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Job 14

1	Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
2	He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3	And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4	Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5	Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6	Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7	For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8	Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9	Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10	But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11	As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12	So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13	O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14	If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15	Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16	For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17	My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18	And surely the mountain falling cometh to naught, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19	The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20	Thou prevailest forever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21	His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22	But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Psalms 76

1	To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2	In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3	There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4	Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5	The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6	At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7	Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8	Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9	When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10	Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11	Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12	He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Proverbs 14

1	Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
2	He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
3	In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
4	Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5	A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
6	A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
7	Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
8	The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
9	Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favor.
10	The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
11	The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
12	There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
13	Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
14	The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
15	The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16	A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
17	He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18	The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19	The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20	The poor is hated even of his own neighbor: but the rich hath many friends.
21	He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22	Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
23	In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
24	The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
25	A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
26	In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
27	The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
28	In the multitude of people is the king's honor: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
29	He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
30	A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
31	He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoreth him hath mercy on the poor.
32	The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
33	Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
34	Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
35	The king's favor is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

1 Samuel 27

1	And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2	And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3	And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
4	And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5	And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
6	Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7	And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8	And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9	And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
10	And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road today? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
11	And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
12	And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant forever.

Jeremiah 10

1	Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2	Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3	For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4	They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5	They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6	Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7	Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8	But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9	Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10	But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11	Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12	He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13	When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14	Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15	They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16	The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17	Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18	For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19	Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20	My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21	For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22	Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23	O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24	O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25	Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Acts 20

1	And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2	And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
3	And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
4	And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5	These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6	And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
7	And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8	And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9	And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10	And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11	When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12	And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13	And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14	And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15	And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
16	For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17	And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18	And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19	Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20	And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21	Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22	And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23	Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24	But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25	And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26	Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27	For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28	Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29	For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30	Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31	Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32	And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33	I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34	Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35	I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36	And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37	And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
38	Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
