Jeremiah 23:5-18
New International Version
Jeremiah 23:5-18
New International Version
5 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(A)
a King(B) who will reign(C) wisely
and do what is just and right(D) in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.(E)
This is the name(F) by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(G)
7 “So then, the days are coming,”(H) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(I) 8 but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”(J)
Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart(K) is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.(L)
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.(M)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(N)
because of the curse[b](O) the land lies parched
and the pastures(P) in the wilderness are withered.(Q)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(R)
even in my temple(S) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(T)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(U)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(V)
and led my people Israel astray.(W)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(X)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(Y)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(Z)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(AA)
They are all like Sodom(AB) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(AC)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(AD)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(AE) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(AF) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(AG) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(AH) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(AI) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(AJ)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(AK) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(AL) will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council(AM) of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?

Jeremiah 23:5-18
King James Version
5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

New International Version
John 6:5-14
New International Version
5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip,(A) “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,(B) spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”(C)
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks,(D) and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14 After the people saw the sign(E) Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”(F)

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
