August 5, 2026, Jeremiah 11:1-23 11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord : 2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 3 You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord , the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant 4 that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. So shall you be my people, and I will be your God, 5 that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord .” 6 And the Lord said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Hear the words of this covenant and do them. 7 For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, Obey my voice. 8 Y...

August 4, 2026, Jeremiah 10:1-25 10 Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the Lord : “Learn not the way of the nations,       nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens       because the nations are dismayed at them,   3 for the customs of the peoples are vanity. [ a ]   A tree from the forest is cut down       and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.   4 They decorate it with silver and gold;       they fasten it with hammer and nails       so that it cannot move.   5 Their idols [ b ] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,       and they cannot speak;   they have to be carried,       for they cannot walk.   Do not be afraid of them,       for they cannot do evil,       neither is it in them to do good.” 6 T...

August 3, 2026, Jeremiah 9:12-26 12 Who is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through? 13 And the Lord says: “Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it, 14 but have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them poisonous water to drink. 16 I will scatter them among the nations whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.” 17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:   “Consider, and call for the mourning women to come;       send for the skillful women to come;   18 let them make haste and rais...

August 2, 2026, Jeremiah 9:1-11 Oh that my head were waters,       and my eyes a fountain of tears,   that I might weep day and night       for the slain of the daughter of my people!   2 Oh that I had in the desert       a travelers' lodging place,   that I might leave my people       and go away from them!   For they are all adulterers,       a company of treacherous men.   3 They bend their tongue like a bow;       falsehood and not truth has grown strong [ c ] in the land;   for they proceed from evil to evil,       and they do not know me, declares the Lord . 4 Let everyone beware of his neighbor,       and put no trust in any brother,   for every brother is a deceiver,       and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer.   5 Everyone deceives h...

  August 1, 2026, Jeremiah 8:18-22 18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me;       my heart is sick within me.   19 Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people       from the length and breadth of the land:   “Is the Lord not in Zion?       Is her King not in her?”   “Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images       and with their foreign idols?”   20 “The harvest is past, the summer is ended,       and we are not saved.”   21 For the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded;       I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me. 22 Is there no balm in Gilead?       Is there no physician there?   Why then has the health of the daughter of my people       not been restored?   The passage Jeremiah 8:18-22 portrays a deep emotion where the prophet Jer...
