Jeremiah Prays for Understanding

16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to (A)Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! It is (B)you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by (C)your outstretched arm! (D)Nothing is too hard for you. 18 (E)You show steadfast love to thousands, (F)but you repay the guilt of fathers (G)to their children after them, O great and (H)mighty God, whose name is the (I)Lord of hosts, 19 (J)great in counsel and (K)mighty in deed, (L)whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, (M)rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. 20 You have shown (N)signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, (O)and have made a name for yourself, as at this day. 21 (P)You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and (Q)outstretched arm, (R)and with great terror. 22 And you gave them this land, (S)which you swore to their fathers to give them, (T)a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 And they entered and took possession of it. (U)But they did not obey your voice or walk in your law. They did nothing of all you commanded them to do. Therefore you have made all this disaster come upon them. 24 Behold, (V)the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and (W)because of sword and famine and pestilence (X)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it. 25 Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, (Y)“Buy the field for money (Z)and get witnesses”—though (AA)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.’”

26 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “Behold, I am the Lord, (AB)the God of all flesh. (AC)Is anything too hard for me?

  1. Isaiah 7:9 The Hebrew for you is plural in verses 9, 13, 14

15 And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, (A)‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, (B)for the battle is not yours but God's. 16 Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they will come up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of (C)the valley, east of the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 (D)You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ (E)Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, (F)and the Lord will be with you.”

18 Then Jehoshaphat (G)bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19 And the Levites, of the (H)Kohathites and the (I)Korahites, stood up to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.

20 And they rose early in the morning and went out into (J)the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! (K)Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.”

13 (A)Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14 (B)I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”

Elders Appointed to Aid Moses

16 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me (C)seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and (D)officers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. 17 (E)And I will come down and talk with you there. And (F)I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them, and (G)they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you may not bear it yourself alone. 18 And say to the people, (H)‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat, for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? (I)For it was better for us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat. 19 You shall not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days, 20 but a whole month, (J)until it comes out at your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before him, saying, (K)“Why did we come out of Egypt?”’” 21 But Moses said, (L)“The people among whom I am number six hundred thousand on foot, and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month!’ 22 (M)Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, and be enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and be enough for them?” 23 And the Lord said to Moses, (N)“Is the Lord's hand shortened? Now you shall see whether (O)my word will come true for you or not.”
