Hebrews 8

The High Priest of a New Covenant

Here is the main point of what we are saying. We have a high priest like that. He sat down at the right hand of the throne of the King, the Majesty in heaven. He serves in the sacred tent. The Lord set up the true holy tent. A mere human being did not set it up.

Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. So this priest also had to have something to offer. What if he were on earth? Then he would not be a priest. There are already priests who offer the gifts required by the law. They serve at a sacred tent. But it is only a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. That’s why God warned Moses when he was about to build the holy tent. God said, “Be sure to make everything just like the pattern I showed you on the mountain.” (Exodus 25:40) But Jesus has been given a greater work to do for God. He is the go-between for the new covenant. This covenant is better than the old one. The new covenant is based on better promises.

Suppose nothing had been wrong with that first covenant. Then no one would have looked for another covenant. But God found fault with the people. He said,

“The days are coming, announces the Lord.
    I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel.
    I will also make it with the people of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their people of long ago.
That was when I took them by the hand.
    I led them out of Egypt.
My new covenant will be different because they didn’t remain faithful to my old covenant.
    So I turned away from them,
    announces the Lord.
10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds.
    I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God.
    And they will be my people.
11 People will not teach their neighbor anymore.
    They will not say to one another, ‘Know the Lord.’
That’s because everyone will know me.
    From the least important to the most important,
    all of them will know me.
12 I will forgive their evil ways.
    I will not remember their sins anymore.” (Jeremiah 31:31–34)

13 God called this covenant “new.” So he has done away with the first one. And what is out of date and has been done away with will soon disappear.

Amos 2

The Lord says,

“The people of Moab have sinned again and again.
    So I will judge them.
They burned the bones
    of Edom’s king to ashes.
So I will send fire to destroy Moab.
    It will burn up Kerioth’s forts.
Moab will come crashing down with a loud noise.
    War cries will be heard.
    So will the blast of trumpets.
I will kill Moab’s ruler.
    I will also kill all its officials,”
    says the Lord.

The Lord says,

“The people of Judah have sinned again and again.
    So I will judge them.
They have refused to obey my law.
    They have not kept my rules.
Other gods have led them astray.
    Their people of long ago
    worshiped those gods.
So I will send fire to destroy Judah.
    It will burn up Jerusalem’s forts.”

The Lord Judges Israel

The Lord says,

“The people of Israel have sinned again and again.
    So I will judge them.
They sell into slavery those who have done no wrong.
    They trade needy people
    for a mere pair of sandals.
They grind the heads of the poor
    into the dust of the ground.
    They refuse to be fair to those who are crushed.
A father and his son have sex with the same girl.
    They treat my name as if it were not holy.
They lie down beside every altar on clothes they have taken.
    They lie on those clothes
    until the owner pays back what is owed.
In the house of their God
    they drink wine that was paid as fines.

“Yet I destroyed the Amorites
    to make room in the land for my people.
The Amorites were as tall as cedar trees.
    They were as strong as oak trees.
But I cut off their fruit above the ground
    and their roots below it.

10 “People of Israel, I brought you up out of Egypt.
    I led you in the desert for 40 years.
    I gave you the land of the Amorites.
11 I raised up prophets from among your children.
    I also set apart for myself some of your young people to be Nazirites.
Isn’t that true, people of Israel?”
    announces the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine.
    You commanded the prophets not to prophesy.

13 “A cart that is loaded with grain
    crushes anything it runs over.
    In the same way, I will crush you.
14 Your fastest runners will not escape.
    The strongest people will not get away.
Even soldiers will not be able
    to save their own lives.
15 Men who are armed with bows will lose the battle.
    Soldiers who are quick on their feet will not escape.
Horsemen will not be able
    to save their own lives.
16 Even your bravest soldiers
    will run away naked on that day,”
    announces the Lord.

Psalm 145

A psalm of praise. A psalm of David.

145 I will honor you, my God the King.
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.
Every day I will praise you.
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.

Lord, you are great. You are really worthy of praise.
    No one can completely understand how great you are.
Parents praise your works to their children.
    They tell about your mighty acts.
They speak about your glorious majesty.
    I will spend time thinking about your wonderful deeds.
They speak about the powerful and wonderful things you do.
    I will talk about the great things you have done.
They celebrate your great goodness.
    They sing for joy about your holy acts.

The Lord is gracious, kind and tender.
    He is slow to get angry and full of love.
The Lord is good to all.
    He shows deep concern for everything he has made.
10 Lord, all your works praise you.
    Your faithful people praise you.
11 They tell about your glorious kingdom.
    They speak about your power.
12 Then all people will know about the mighty things you have done.
    They will know about the glorious majesty of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is a kingdom that will last forever.
    Your rule will continue for all time to come.

The Lord will keep all his promises.
    He is faithful in everything he does.
14 The Lord takes good care of all those who fall.
    He lifts up all those who feel helpless.
15 Every living thing looks to you for food.
    You give it to them exactly when they need it.
16 You open your hand
    and satisfy the needs of every living creature.

17 The Lord is right in everything he does.
    He is faithful in everything he does.
18 The Lord is ready to help all those who call out to him.
    He helps those who really mean it when they call out to him.
19 He satisfies the needs of those who have respect for him.
    He hears their cry and saves them.
20 The Lord watches over all those who love him.
    But he will destroy all sinful people.

21 I will praise the Lord with my mouth.
    Let every creature praise his holy name
    for ever and ever.
