Jeremiah’s Prayer
16 Then after I had given the papers to Baruch, I prayed to the Lord:
17 “O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you! 18 You show unfailing love to thousands, but you also bring the consequences of one generation’s sin upon the next. You are the great and powerful God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 19 You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles. You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve. 20 You performed miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt—things still remembered to this day! And you have continued to do great miracles in Israel and all around the world. You have made your name famous to this day.
21 “You brought Israel out of Egypt with mighty signs and wonders, with a strong hand and powerful arm, and with overwhelming terror. 22 You gave the people of Israel this land that you had promised their ancestors long before—a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 Our ancestors came and conquered it and lived in it, but they refused to obey you or follow your word. They have not done anything you commanded. That is why you have sent this terrible disaster upon them.
24 “See how the siege ramps have been built against the city walls! Through war, famine, and disease, the city will be handed over to the Babylonians, who will conquer it. Everything has happened just as you said. 25 And yet, O Sovereign Lord, you have told me to buy the field—paying good money for it before these witnesses—even though the city will soon be handed over to the Babylonians.”
A Prediction of Jerusalem’s Fall
26 Then this message came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 27 “I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?

16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch(A) son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord,(B) you have made the heavens and the earth(C) by your great power and outstretched arm.(D) Nothing is too hard(E) for you. 18 You show love(F) to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps(G) of their children(H) after them. Great and mighty God,(I) whose name is the Lord Almighty,(J) 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.(K) Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind;(L) you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.(M) 20 You performed signs and wonders(N) in Egypt(O) and have continued them to this day, in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown(P) that is still yours. 21 You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand(Q) and an outstretched arm(R) and with great terror.(S) 22 You gave them this land you had sworn to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.(T) 23 They came in and took possession(U) of it, but they did not obey you or follow your law;(V) they did not do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster(W) on them.
24 “See how the siege ramps(X) are built up to take the city. Because of the sword, famine and plague,(Y) the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians who are attacking it. What you said(Z) has happened,(AA) as you now see. 25 And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, you, Sovereign Lord, say to me, ‘Buy the field(AB) with silver and have the transaction witnessed.(AC)’”
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.(AD) Is anything too hard for me?(AE)

15 He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow, march out against them. You will find them coming up through the ascent of Ziz at the end of the valley that opens into the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!”
18 Then King Jehoshaphat bowed low with his face to the ground. And all the people of Judah and Jerusalem did the same, worshiping the Lord. 19 Then the Levites from the clans of Kohath and Korah stood to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud shout.
20 Early the next morning the army of Judah went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. On the way Jehoshaphat stopped and said, “Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be able to stand firm. Believe in his prophets, and you will succeed.”

For the battle(B) is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see(C) the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”
18 Jehoshaphat bowed down(D) with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the Lord. 19 Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
20 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith(E) in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.(F)”

Numbers 11:13-23
New Living Translation
13 Where am I supposed to get meat for all these people? They keep whining to me, saying, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I can’t carry all these people by myself! The load is far too heavy! 15 If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!”
Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders
16 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather before me seventy men who are recognized as elders and leaders of Israel. Bring them to the Tabernacle[a] to stand there with you. 17 I will come down and talk to you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is upon you, and I will put the Spirit upon them also. They will bear the burden of the people along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.
18 “And say to the people, ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat. You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried, “Oh, for some meat! We were better off in Egypt!” Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it. 19 And it won’t be for just a day or two, or for five or ten or even twenty. 20 You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it. For you have rejected the Lord, who is here among you, and you have whined to him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”
21 But Moses responded to the Lord, “There are 600,000 foot soldiers here with me, and yet you say, ‘I will give them meat for a whole month!’ 22 Even if we butchered all our flocks and herds, would that satisfy them? Even if we caught all the fish in the sea, would that be enough?”
23 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!”

13 Where can I get meat for all these people?(A) They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.(B) 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me(C)—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
16 The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders(D) who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people.(E) Have them come to the tent of meeting,(F) that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and speak with you(G) there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them.(H) They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.(I)
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves(J) in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed,(K) “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”(L) Now the Lord will give you meat,(M) and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it(N)—because you have rejected the Lord,(O) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(P)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(Q) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(R)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(S) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(T)”
