Jeremiah 5:1–6:30
1Run you⌃ about in the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if you⌃ can find [one], if there is any one that does judgment, and seeks faithfulness; and I will pardon them, says the Lord. 2The Lord lives, they say; do they not therefore swear falsely? 3O Lord, your eyes are upon faithfulness: you have scourged them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return. 4Then I said, It may be they are poor; for they are weak, for they know not the way of the Lord, or the judgment of God. 5I will go to the rich men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of God: but, behold, with one consent they have broken the yoke, they have burst the bonds. 6Therefore has a lion out of the forest struck them, and a wolf has destroyed them even to [their] houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities: all that go forth from them shall be hunted: for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their revoltings. 7In what [way] shall I forgive you for these things? Your sons have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: and I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses. 8They became as wanton horses: they neighed each one after his neighbor's wife. 9Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this. 10Go up upon her battlements, and break [them] down; but make not a full end: leave her buttresses: for they are the Lord's. 11For the house of Israel have indeed dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord: the house of Juda also 12have lied to their Lord, and they have said, These things are not so; no evils shall come upon us; and we shall not see sword or famine. 13Our prophets became wind, and the word of the Lord was not in them. 14Therefore thus says the Lord Almighty, Because you⌃ have spoken this word, behold, I have made my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 15Behold, I [will] bring upon you a nation from far, O house of Israel, says the Lord; a nation the sound of whose language one shall not understand. 16[They are] all mighty men: 17and they shall devour your harvest, and your bread; and shall devour your sons, and your daughters; and they shall devour your sheep, and your calves, and devour your vineyards, and your fig-plantations, and your olive yards: and they shall utterly destroy your strong cities, wherein you⌃ trusted, with the sword. 18And it shall come to pass in those days, says the Lord your God, that I will not utterly destroy you. 19And it shall come to pass, when you⌃ shall say, Therefore has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you shall say to them, Because you⌃ served strange gods in your land, so shall you⌃ serve strangers in a land that is not yours. 20Proclaim these things to the house of Jacob, and let them be heard in the house of Juda. 21Hear you⌃ now these things, O foolish and senseless people; who have eyes, and see not; and have ears, and hear not: 22will you⌃ not be afraid of me? says the Lord; and will you⌃ not fear before me, who have set the sand for a bound to the sea, [as] a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it: yes, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it. 23But this people has a disobedient and rebellious heart; and they have turned aside and gone back: 24and they have not said in their heart, Let us fear now the Lord our God, who gives us the early and latter rain, according to the season of the fulfillment of the ordinance of harvest, and has preserved [it] for us. 25Your transgressions have turned away these things, and your sins have removed good things from you. 26For among my people were found ungodly men; and they have set snares to destroy men, and have caught [them]. 27As a snare which has been set is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore have they grown great, and become rich: 28and they have transgressed [the rule of] judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow. 29Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 30Shocking and horrible deeds have been done on the land; 31the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands: and my people has loved [to have it] thus: and what will you⌃ do for the future. Chapter 61Strengthen yourselves, you⌃ children of Benjamin, [to flee] out of the midst of Jerusalem, and sound an alarm with the trumpet in Thecue, and set up a signal over Baethacharma: for evil threatens from the north, and a great destruction is coming. 2And [your] pride, O daughter of Sion, shall be taken away. 3The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her; and they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about, and shall feed [their flocks] each with his hand. 4Prepare yourselves for war against her; rise up, and let us go up against her at noon. Woe to us! for the day has gone down, for the shadows of the day fail. 5Rise, and let us go up against her by night, and destroy her foundations. 6For thus says the Lord, Hew down her trees, array a numerous force against Jerusalem. O false city; [there is] all oppression in her. 7As a cistern cools water, so her wickedness cools her, ungodliness and misery shall be heard in her, [as] continually before her. 8You shall be chastened, O Jerusalem, with pain and the scourge, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you a desert land, which shall not be inhabited. 9For thus says the Lord, Glean, glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back [your hands] as a grape-gatherer to his basket. 10To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may listen? behold, your ears are uncircumcised, and they shall not be able to hear: behold, the word of the Lord is become to them a reproach, they will not at all desire it. 11And I allowed my wrath to come to full, yet I kept [it] in, and did not utterly destroy them: I will pour it out on the children without, and on the assembly of young men together: for man and woman shall be taken together, the old man with him that is full of days. 12And their houses shall be turned to others, [with] their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of this land, says the Lord. 13For from the least of them even to the greatest they have all committed iniquity; from the priest even to the false prophet they have all wrought falsely. 14And they healed the breach of my people [imperfectly], making light [of it], and saying, Peace, peace, and where is peace? 15They were ashamed because they failed; yet they were not ashamed as those who are [truly] ashamed, and they knew not their own disgrace: therefore shall they [utterly] fall when they do fall, and in the time of visitation shall they perish, said the Lord. 16Thus says the Lord, Stand you⌃ in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and you⌃ shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them]. 17I have set watchmen over you, [saying], Hear you⌃ the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hear [it]. 18Therefore have the nations heard, and they that feed their flocks. 19Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evils upon this people, [even] the fruit of their rebellions; for they have not heeded my words, and they have rejected my law. 20Therefore do you⌃ bring me frankincense from Saba, and cinnamon from a land afar off? your whole burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices have not been pleasant to me. 21Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] bring weakness upon this people, and the fathers and sons shall be weak together; the neighbor and his friend shall perish. 22Thus says the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north, and nations shall be stirred up from the end of the earth. 23They shall lay hold on bow and spear; [the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy; their voice is as the roaring sea; they shall array themselves for war against you as fire on horses and chariots, O daughter of Sion. 24We have heard the report of them: our hands are weakened: anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail. 25Go not forth into the field, and walk not in the ways; for the sword of the enemy lingers round about. 26O daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth: sprinkle [yourself] with ashes; make for yourself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]: for misery will come suddenly upon you. 27I have caused you to be tried among tried nations, and you shall know me when I have tried their way. 28[They are] all disobedient, walking perversely: [they are] brass and iron; they are all corrupted. 29The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed: the silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed. 30Call you⌃ them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.

Proverbs 27:3–4
3A stone is heavy, and sand cumbersome; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both. 4Wrath is merciless, and anger sharp: but envy can bear nothing.
New TestamentKing James Version
Colossians 1:1–29
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, 2To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, 5For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 7As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 8Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: 25Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
