M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
18 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.
3 ‘You shall not do as they do in of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt. And you shall not do after the manner of the land of Canaan, where I will bring you, nor walk in their ordinances.
4 ‘Do after My Judgments. And keep My Ordinances, to walk therein. I am the LORD your God.
5 ‘Therefore, you shall keep My statutes and My judgments. Which, if a man does, he shall then live in them. I am the LORD.
6 ‘No one shall come near any of the kindred of his flesh, to uncover her nakedness. I am the LORD.
7 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
9 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother. Whether she is born at home or born outside the home. You shall not uncover their nakedness.
10 ‘The nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, you shall not, I say, uncover their nakedness. For it is your nakedness.
11 ‘The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of your father (she is your sister) you shalt not, I say, uncover her nakedness.
12 ‘You shall not uncover the shame of your father’s sister. She is your father’s kinswoman.
13 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s kinswoman.
14 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not go in to his wife. She is your aunt.
15 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
17 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of the wife and of her daughter. Nor shall you take her son’s daughter, nor her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are kinsfolk. It is wickedness.
18 ‘Also, you shall not take a wife with her sister (during her life), to be her rival in uncovering her nakedness upon her.
19 ‘You shall not also go to a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is isolated for her impurity.
20 ‘Moreover, you shall not give yourself to your neighbor’s wife by carnal copulation, to be defiled with her.
21 ‘Also, you shall not give your children as an offering to Molech. Nor shall you defile the Name of your God. I am the LORD.
22 ‘You shall not lie with the male as one lies with a woman. It is abomination.
23 ‘Also, you shall not lie with any beast, to be defiled with it. Nor shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down with it. It is abomination.
24 ‘You shall not defile yourselves in any of these things. For in all these the Nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you.
25 ‘And the land is defiled. Therefore, I will visit its wickedness upon it, and the land shall vomit out her inhabitants.
26 ‘Therefore, you shall keep My Ordinances and My Judgments and commit none of these abominations (he who is of the same country, as well as the stranger who sojourns among you).
27 ‘For the men of the land have done all these abominations which were before you. And the land is defiled.
28 ‘And shall not the land spew you out if you defile it, as it spewed out the people who were before you?
29 ‘For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, the people that do shall be cut off from among their people.
30 ‘Therefore, you shall keep My Ordinances, so that you do not do any of the abominable customs which have been done before you, and so that you do not defile yourselves therein. I am the LORD your God.’”
22 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me; are so far from My health and from the words of My roaring?
2 O, My God, I cry by day, but You do not hear; and by night but have no audience.
3 But You are Holy and inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in You. They trusted, and You delivered them.
5 They called upon You and were delivered. They trusted in You and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and not a man, a shame of men and the contempt of the people.
7 All those who see Me, hold Me in derision. They shoot out the lip and nod the head, saying,
8 “He trusted in the LORD. Let Him deliver Him. Let Him save Him, seeing He loves Him.”
9 But You drew Me out of the womb. You gave Me hope, even at My mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon You, even from the womb. You are My God, from My mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from Me, because trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
12 Many young bulls have surrounded Me. Mighty bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
13 They gape upon Me with their mouths, a ramping and roaring lion.
14 I am like water poured out; and all My bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is molten in the midst of My core.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue clings to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded Me; the assembly of the wicked have encircled Me. They pierced My hands and My feet.
17 I count all My bones. They behold and look upon Me.
18 They part My garments among them and cast lots upon My clothing.
19 But be not afar off, O LORD, My strength. Hasten to help Me.
20 Deliver My soul from the sword, my desolate soul from the power of the dog.
21 Save Me from the lion’s mouth; and answer Me in saving Me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare Your Name to My brothers. In the midst of the Congregation will I praise You.
23 Praise the LORD, you who fear Him! Magnify Him, all the seed of Jacob; and fear Him, all the seed of Israel!
24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor. Nor has He hidden His face from Him, but when He called to Him, He heard.
25 My praise shall be of You in the great Congregation. I will perform My vows before those who fear Him.
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied. Those who seek after the LORD shall praise Him. Your heart shall live forever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before You.
28 For the Kingdom is the LORD’s; and He rules among the nations.
29 All those who are fat on the Earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down into the dust shall bow before Him, even him who cannot quicken his own soul.
30 Their seed shall serve Him. It shall be counted to the LORD for a generation.
31 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness to a people who shall be born, because He has done it. A Psalm of David.
1 The words of the preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 “Vanity of vanities,” says the preacher, “Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.
3 “What remains to man in all his travail which he suffers under the Sun?”
4 One generation passes, and another generation succeeds. But the Earth remains forever.
5 The Sun rises, and the Sun goes down, and hastens to its place where it arose.
6 The wind goes toward the south, and circles around toward the north. The wind whirls about continually and returns by its circuits.
7 All the rivers go into the sea. Yet the sea is not full. For the rivers go to the place from where they have returned.
8 All things are full of labor. Man cannot utter it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 What has been is what will be. And what has been done is what shall be done. And there is no new thing under the Sun.
10 Is there anything of which one may say, “Behold this, it is new?” It has already been in the previous time before us.
11 There is no memory of former things, nor shall there be a remembrance of things to come by those who shall come after.
12 I, the preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I have given my heart to search and find out wisdom by all things that are done under the heaven. God has given this sore travail to the sons of men to humble them.
14 I have considered all the works that are done under the Sun and behold, all is vanity and grasping at the wind.
15 That which is crooked can no one make straight. And that which fails cannot be numbered.
16 I thought in my heart, and said, “Behold, I have become great, and exceed in wisdom all those who have been before me in Jerusalem. And my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.”
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and foolishness. I knew also that this is grasping at the wind.
18 For in the multitude of wisdom is much grief. And he who increases knowledge, increases sorrow.
3 This is a true saying: If anyone desires the office of an overseer, he desires a worthy work.
2 Therefore, an overseer must be blameless - the husband of one wife, sober, temperate, modest, a lover of strangers, able to teach -
3 neither a drunkard nor a brawler nor given to greed, but gentle, peace-loving and without avarice.
4 One who rules his own house well, having obedient children under him with all respect.
5 For if anyone cannot rule his own house, how shall he care for the Church of God?
6 He may not be a young scholar, lest he (being puffed up) falls into the condemnation of the devil.
7 He must also be of good reputation, even among outsiders, lest he fall into rebuke and the snare of the devil.
8 Likewise, deacons must be honorable—not duplicitous or given to much wine or to greed—
9 holding to the mystery of the faith in pure conscience.
10 And let them be tested first, then let them minister (if they are found blameless).
11 Likewise, their wives must also be honorable (not slanderers), sober, and faithful in all things.
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, and such as can rule their children and their own households well.
13 For those who have ministered well gain a good standing for themselves, and great liberty in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.
14 These things I write to you, hoping to come to you very shortly;
15 but if I am delayed, so that you may still know how you ought to behave yourself in the house of God (which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth).
16 And admittedly, the mystery of godliness is great: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up in Glory.
