July 26, 2026, Jeremiah 5:1-13 5  Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,      look and take note! Search her squares to see      if you can find a man, one who does justice      and seeks truth, that I may pardon her. 2  Though they say, “As the  Lord  lives,”      yet they swear falsely. 3  O  Lord , do not your eyes look for truth? You have struck them down,      but they felt no anguish; you have consumed them,      but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock;      they have refused to repent. 4  Then I said, “These are only the poor;      they have no sense; for they do not know the way of the  Lord ,      the justice of their God. 5  I will go to the great      and will s...

July 25, 2026, Jeremiah 4:19-31 19  My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!      Oh the walls of my heart! My heart is beating wildly;      I cannot keep silent, for I hear the sound of the trumpet,      the alarm of war. 20  Crash follows hard on crash;      the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are laid waste,      my curtains in a moment. 21  How long must I see the standard      and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22  “For my people are foolish;      they know me not; they are stupid children;      they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!      But how to do good they know not.” 23  I looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void;      and to the heavens, and they had no light. 24...

July 24, 2026, Jeremiah 4:5-18 5  Declare in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say, “Blow the trumpet through the land;      cry aloud and say, ‘Assemble, and let us go      into the fortified cities!’ 6  Raise a standard toward Zion,      flee for safety, stay not, for I bring disaster from the north,      and great destruction. 7  A lion has gone up from his thicket,      a destroyer of nations has set out;      he has gone out from his place to make your land a waste;      your cities will be ruins      without inhabitant. 8  For this put on sackcloth,      lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the  Lord      has not turned back from us.” 9  “In that day, declares the  Lord , courage shall fail both king...

July 23, 2026, Jeremiah 4:1-4 4  “If you return, O Israel, declares the  Lord ,      to me you should return. If you remove your detestable things from my presence,      and do not waver, 2  and if you swear, ‘As the  Lord  lives,’      in truth, in justice, and in righteousness, then nations shall bless themselves in him,      and in him shall they glory.” 3  For thus says the  Lord  to the men of Judah and Jerusalem: “Break up your fallow ground,      and sow not among thorns. 4  Circumcise yourselves to the  Lord ;      remove the foreskin of your hearts,      O men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire,      and burn with none to quench it,      because of the evil of your deeds.”   P...

July 22, 2026, Jeremiah 3:6-25 6  The  Lord  said to me in the days of King Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there played the whore?  7  And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.  8  She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore.  9  Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with stone and tree.  10  Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the  Lord .” 11  And the  Lord  said to me, “Faithless Israel has sh...

July 21 Jeremiah 3: 1-5   3  “If [ a ]  a man divorces his wife      and she goes from him and becomes another man's wife,      will he return to her? Would not that land be greatly polluted? You have played the whore with many lovers;      and would you return to me? declares the  Lord . 2  Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see!      Where have you not been ravished? By the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers      like an Arab in the wilderness. You have polluted the land      with your vile whoredom. 3  Therefore the showers have been withheld,      and the spring rain has not come; yet you have the forehead of a whore;      you refuse to be ashamed. 4  Have you not just now called to me,      ‘My father, you are the friend of m...

  July 20, 2026, Jeremiah 2:1-37 2 The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord , “I remember the devotion of your youth,      your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness,      in a land not sown. 3 Israel was holy to the Lord ,      the firstfruits of his harvest. All who ate of it incurred guilt;      disaster came upon them, declares the Lord .” 4 Hear the word of the Lord , O house of Jacob, and all the clans of the house of Israel.  5 Thus says the Lord : “What wrong did your fathers find in me      that they went far from me, and went after worthlessness, and became worthless? 6 They did not say, ‘Where is the Lord      who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness,      in a land of deserts and pits, in a...
