Ezekiel Plays Out Israel’s Exile

Proverbs 25:12-25 Names of God Bible (NOG)

12 Like a gold ring and a fine gold ornament,
    so is constructive criticism to the ear of one who listens.
13 Like the coolness of snow on a harvest day,
    so is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him:
        He refreshes his masters.
14 Like a dense fog or a dust storm,
    so is a person who brags about a gift that he does not give.

15 With patience you can persuade a ruler,
    and a soft tongue can break bones.
16 When you find honey, eat only as much as you need.
    Otherwise, you will have too much and vomit.
17 Do not set foot in your neighbor’s house too often.
    Otherwise, he will see too much of you and hate you.

18 Like a club and a sword and a sharp arrow,
    so is a person who gives false testimony against his neighbor.
19 Like a broken tooth and a lame foot,
    so is confidence in an unfaithful person in a time of crisis.
20 Like taking off a coat on a cold day
    or pouring vinegar on baking soda,
        so is singing songs to one who has an evil heart.

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him some food to eat,
    and if he is thirsty, give him some water to drink.
22 In this way you will make him feel guilty and ashamed,
    and Yahweh will reward you.

23 As the north wind brings rain,
    so a whispering tongue brings angry looks.
24 Better to live on a corner of a roof
    than to share a home with a quarreling woman.
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
    so is good news from far away.

Acts 4:4-22 Names of God Bible (NOG)

But many of those who had heard the message became believers, so the number of men who believed grew to about 5,000.

The next day the Jewish rulers, the leaders, and the experts in Moses’ Teachings met in Jerusalem. The chief priest Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the rest of the chief priest’s family were present. They made Peter and John stand in front of them and then asked, “By what power or in whose name did you do this?”

Then Peter, because he was filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and leaders of the people, today you are cross-examining us about the good we did for a crippled man. You want to know how he was made well. 10 You and all the people of Israel must understand that this man stands in your presence with a healthy body because of the power of Yeshua Christ from Nazareth. You crucified Yeshua Christ, but God has brought him back to life. 11 He is the stone that the builders rejected, the stone that has become the cornerstone. 12 No one else can save us. Indeed, we can be saved only by the power of the one named Yeshua and not by any other person.”

13 After they found out that Peter and John had no education or special training, they were surprised to see how boldly they spoke. They realized that these men had been with Yeshua14 When they saw the man who was healed standing with Peter and John, they couldn’t say anything against the two apostles. 15 So they ordered Peter and John to leave the council room and began to discuss the matter among themselves. 16 They said, “What should we do to these men? Clearly, they’ve performed a miracle that everyone in Jerusalem knows about. We can’t deny that. 17 So let’s threaten them. Let’s tell them that they must never speak to anyone about the one named Yeshua. Then the news about the miracle that they have performed will not spread any further among the people.”

18 They called Peter and John and ordered them never to teach about Yeshua or even mention his name.

19 Peter and John answered them, “Decide for yourselves whether God wants people to listen to you rather than to him. 20 We cannot stop talking about what we’ve seen and heard.”

21 The authorities threatened them even more and then let them go. Since all the people were praising God for what had happened, the authorities couldn’t find any way to punish Peter and John. 22 (The man who was healed by this miracle was over 40 years old.)

Psalm 18:2-15 Names of God Bible (NOG) 2 Yahweh is my rock and my Metsuda and my Savior, my El, my rock in whom I take refuge, my Magen, and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 Yahweh should be praised. I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies. 4 The ropes of death had become tangled around me. The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me. 5 The ropes of the grave had surrounded me. The clutches of death had confronted me. 6 I called on Yahweh in my distress. I cried to my Elohim for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help reached his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and quaked. Even the foundations of the mountains trembled. They shook violently because he was angry. 8 Smoke went up from his nostrils, and a raging fire came out of his mouth. Glowing coals flared up from it. 9 He spread apart the heavens and came down with a dark cloud under his feet. 10 He rode on one of the angels[a] as he flew, and he soared on the wings of the wind. 11 He made the darkness his hiding place, the dark rain clouds his covering. 12 Out of the brightness in front of him, those rain clouds passed by with hailstones and lightning. 13 Yahweh thundered in the heavens. Elyon made his voice heard with hailstones and lightning. 14 He shot his arrows and scattered them. He flashed streaks of lightning and threw them into confusion. 15 Then the ocean floor could be seen. The foundations of the earth were laid bare at your stern warning, O Yahweh, at the blast of the breath from your nostrils.

Proverbs 14:20-28 Names of God Bible (NOG)

20 A poor person is hated even by his neighbor,
    but a rich person is loved by many.
21 Whoever despises his neighbor sins,
    but blessed is the one who is kind to humble people.

22 Don’t those who stray plan what is evil,
    while those who are merciful and faithful plan what is good?
23 In hard work there is always something gained,
    but idle talk leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of wise people is their wealth.
    The stupidity of fools is just that—stupidity!
25 An honest witness saves lives,
    but one who tells lies is dangerous.
26 In the fear of Yahweh there is strong confidence,
    and his children will have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life
    to turn one away from the grasp of death.
28 A large population is an honor for a king,
    but without people a ruler is ruined.

Whether we are Jewish or Greek, slave or free, God gave all of us one Spirit to drink. 14 As you know, the human body is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.

Mark 2:18-22 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Jesus Is Questioned about Fasting

18 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came to Yeshua and said to him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but your disciples don’t?”

19 Yeshua replied, “Can wedding guests fast while the groom is still with them? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.

21 “No one patches an old coat with a new piece of cloth that will shrink. Otherwise, the new patch will shrink and rip away some of the old cloth, and the tear will become worse. 22 People don’t pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the wine will make the skins burst, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine is to be poured into fresh skins.”

Proverbs 16:16-24 Names of God Bible (NOG)

16 How much better it is to gain wisdom than gold,
    and the gaining of understanding should be chosen over silver.
17 The highway of decent people turns away from evil.
    Whoever watches his way preserves his own life.

18 Pride precedes a disaster,
    and an arrogant attitude precedes a fall.
19 Better to be humble with lowly people
    than to share stolen goods with arrogant people.

20 Whoever gives attention to the Lord’s word prospers,
    and blessed is the person who trusts Yahweh.
21 The person who is truly wise is called understanding,
    and speaking sweetly helps others learn.
22 Understanding is a fountain of life to the one who has it,
    but stubborn fools punish themselves with their stupidity.
23 A wise person’s heart controls his speech,
    and what he says helps others learn.
24 Pleasant words are like honey from a honeycomb—
    sweet to the spirit and healthy for the body.

The Prophet—A Man of Hope

21 “The reason I can still find hope is that I keep this one thing in mind:

    We were not completely wiped out.
        His compassion is never limited.
23 It is new every morning.
    His faithfulness is great.
24 My soul can say, ‘The Lord is my lot in life.
    That is why I find hope in him.’
25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
    to anyone who seeks help from him.

26 “It is good to continue to hope and wait silently
    for the Lord to save us.

Proverbs 24:5-14 Names of God Bible (NOG)

A strong man knows how to use his strength,
    but a person with knowledge is even more powerful.
After all, with the right strategy you can wage war,
    and with many advisers there is victory.

Matters of wisdom are beyond the grasp of a stubborn fool.
    At the city gate he does not open his mouth.
Whoever plans to do evil will be known as a schemer.
Foolish scheming is sinful,
    and a mocker is disgusting to everyone.

10 If you faint in a crisis, you are weak.
11 Rescue captives condemned to death,
    and spare those staggering toward their slaughter.
12 When you say, “We didn’t know this,”
    won’t the one who weighs hearts take note of it?
    Won’t the one who guards your soul know it?
    Won’t he pay back people for what they do?

13 Eat honey, my son, because it is good.
    Honey that flows from the honeycomb tastes sweet.
14 The knowledge of wisdom is like that for your soul.
    If you find it, then there is a future,
        and your hope will never be cut off.

Ecclesiastes 10:6-15 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Foolish people are often given high positions, and rich people are left to fill lower positions. I have seen slaves sitting on horses and influential people going on foot like slaves.

Whoever digs a pit may fall into it. Whoever breaks through a stone wall may be bitten by a snake. Whoever works in a stone quarry may get hurt. Whoever splits wood may be injured.

10 If an ax is blunt and the edge isn’t sharpened, then one has to use more strength. But wisdom prepares the way for success. 11 If a snake bites before it has been charmed, then there is no advantage in being a snake charmer.

12 A wise person’s words win favors, but a fool’s lips are self-destructive. 13 A fool starts out by talking foolishness and ends up saying crazy things that are dangerous. 14 He never stops talking. No one knows what the future will bring, or what will happen after death. Who can say! 15 Fools wear themselves out with hard work, because they don’t even know the way to town.

Blessings everyone, word of the day the Lord has given us.
Jeremiah 15:16-21 Names of God Bible (NOG)
16 Your words were found, and I devoured them.
Your words are my joy and my heart’s delight,
because I am called by your name, O Yahweh Elohim Tsebaoth.
17 I didn’t keep company with those who laugh and have fun.
I sat alone because your hand was on me.
You filled me with outrage.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound incurable, refusing to heal?
Will you disappoint me like a stream
that dries up in summertime?

19 This is what Yahweh says:

If you will return, I will take you back.
If you will speak what is worthwhile and not what is worthless,
you will stand in my presence.
The people will return to you, but you will not return to them.
20 I will make you like a solid bronze wall in front of these people.
They will fight you, but they will not defeat you.
I am with you, and I will save you and rescue you,

21 I will rescue you from the power of wicked people
and free you from the power of tyrants.

Revelation 10 Names of God Bible (NOG)

John Eats a Small Scroll

10 I saw another powerful angel come down from heaven. He was dressed in a cloud, and there was a rainbow over his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet were like columns of fire. He held a small, opened scroll in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left on the land. Then he shouted in a loud voice as a lion roars. When he shouted, the seven thunders spoke with voices of their own. When the seven thunders spoke, I was going to write it down. I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and don’t write it down.”

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. He swore an oath by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it. He said, “There will be no more delay. In the days when the seventh angel is ready to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God will be completed, as he had made this Good News known to his servants, the prophets.” The voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. It said, “Take the opened scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” I went to the angel and asked him to give me the small scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

10 I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, it was bitter in my stomach. 11 The seven thunders told me, “Again you must speak what God has revealed in front of many people, nations, languages, and kings.”

Proverbs 7:4-27 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister.”
    Give the name “my relative” to understanding
in order to guard yourself from an adulterous woman,
    from a loose woman with her smooth talk.

From a window in my house I looked through my screen.
I was looking at gullible people
    when I saw a young man without much sense among youths.
He was crossing a street near her corner
    and walking toward her house
in the twilight,
    in the evening,
        in the dark hours of the night.

10 A woman with an ulterior motive meets him.
    She is dressed as a prostitute.
11 She is loud and rebellious.
    Her feet will not stay at home.
12 One moment she is out on the street,
    the next she is at the curb,
        on the prowl at every corner.
13 She grabs him and kisses him and brazenly says to him,
14 “I have some sacrificial meat.
    Today I kept my vows.
15 That’s why I came to meet you.
    Eagerly, I looked for you,
        and I’ve found you.
16 I’ve made my bed,
    with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
17 I’ve sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.
    Let’s enjoy making love,
19 because my husband’s not home.
    He has gone on a long trip.
20 He took lots of money with him.
    He won’t be home for a couple of weeks.”

21 With all her seductive charms, she persuades him.
    With her smooth lips, she makes him give in.
22 He immediately follows her
    like a steer on its way to be slaughtered,
        like a ram hobbling into captivity[a]
23 until an arrow pierces his heart,
    like a bird darting into a trap.
    He does not realize that it will cost him his life.

24 Now, sons,
    listen to me.
    Pay attention to the words from my mouth.
25 Do not let your heart be turned to her ways.
    Do not wander onto her paths,
26 because she has brought down many victims,
    and she has killed all too many.
27 Her home is the way to hell
    and leads to the darkest vaults of death

Psalm 81 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Psalm 81

For the choir director; on the gittith;[a] by Asaph.

Sing joyfully to Elohim, our strength.
    Shout happily to the Elohim of Jacob.
Begin a psalm, and strike a tambourine.
    Play lyres and harps with their pleasant music.
Blow the ram’s horn on the day of the new moon,
    on the day of the full moon,
    on our festival days.
This is a law for Israel,
    a legal decision from the Elohim of Jacob.
        These are the instructions Elohim set in place for Joseph
            when Joseph rose to power over Egypt.

I heard a message I did not understand:
“I removed the burden from his shoulder.
    His hands were freed from the basket.
When you were in trouble, you called out to me, and I rescued you.
    I was hidden in thunder, but I answered you.
    I tested your loyalty at the oasis of Meribah. Selah
        Listen, my people, and I will warn you.
            Israel, if you would only listen to me!
        Never keep any strange god among you.
        Never worship a foreign god.
10 I am Yahweh your Elohim, the one who brought you out of Egypt.
    Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 “But my people did not listen to me.
    Israel wanted nothing to do with me.
12 So I let them go their own stubborn ways
    and follow their own advice.
13 If only my people would listen to me!
    If only Israel would follow me!
14 I would quickly defeat their enemies.
    I would turn my power against their foes.
15 Those who hate Yahweh would cringe in front of him,
    and their time for punishment would last forever.
16 But I would feed Israel with the finest wheat
    and satisfy them with honey from a rock.”
