M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
6 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests and said to them, “Take up the Ark of the Covenant; and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Ark of the LORD.”
7 But he said to the people, “Go and circle the city. And let he who is armed go forth before the Ark of the LORD.”
8 And when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bore the seven trumpets of rams’ horns and went forth before the Ark of the LORD and blew the trumpets. And the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD followed them.
9 And the men of arms went before the priests and blew the trumpets. Then, the gathering army came after the Ark; and they went and blew the trumpets.
10 Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, “You shall neither shout nor make any noise with your voice. Nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth until the day that I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.”
11 So the Ark of the LORD circled the city and went around it once. Then they returned into the camp and lodged in the camp.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and the priests bore the Ark of the LORD.
13 Also, seven priests bore seven trumpets of rams’ horns and went before the Ark of the LORD, blowing the trumpets; and the men of arms went before them. But the gathering army, came after the Ark of the LORD as they blew the trumpets.
14 And the second day, they circled the city once and returned into the camp. They did this for six days.
15 And when the seventh day came, they rose early with the dawning of the day and circled the city in the same way, seven times; only on that day did they circle the city seven times.
16 And when the priests had blown the trumpets the seventh time, Joshua said to the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
17 “And the city shall be an accursed thing to the LORD, both it and all who are therein! Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house; for she hid the messengers whom we sent!
18 “Nevertheless, be aware of the accursed thing, lest you make yourselves accursed; and in taking of the accursed thing, you also make the army of Israel accursed and trouble it!
19 “But all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron shall be consecrated to the LORD and shall come into the LORD’s treasury!”
20 So the people shouted, after they had blown trumpets. For when the people had heard the sound of the trumpets, they shouted with a great shout. And the wall fell down flat. So the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead; and they took the city.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the cities—man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey—with the edge of the sword.
22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied on the country, “Go into the harlot’s house and bring the woman out, and all that she has, as you swore to her.”
23 So the young men who were spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all that she had. They also brought out all her family and put them outside the camp of Israel.
24 Afterward, they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein. But the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and iron they put into the treasury of the House of the LORD.
25 So Joshua saved Rahab the harlot and her father’s household and all that she had; and she dwelt in Israel (even to this day) because she had hidden the messengers which Joshua sent to spy on Jericho.
26 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds the city Jericho. He shall pay for its foundation with his eldest son. And his youngest son shall be the price for setting up its gates.”
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and he was famous through all the world.
135 Praise the Name of the LORD, you servants of the LORD! Praise,
2 you who stand in the House of the LORD and in the courts of the House of our God!
3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good! Sing praises to His Name; for it is a sweet thing.
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself and Israel for His chief treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great and that our LORD is above all gods.
6 Whatever pleased the LORD, He did in Heaven and on Earth, in the sea and in all the depths.
7 He brings up the clouds from the ends of the Earth and makes the lightning with the rain. He draws forth the wind out of His treasures.
8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt (of both man and beast).
9 He has sent signs and wonders into the midst of You, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.
10 He struck many nations and slew mighty Kings—
11 Sihon, King of the Amorites and Og, King of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12 and gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel, His people.
13 Your Name, O LORD, endures forever! O LORD, Your remembrance is from generation to generation.
14 For the LORD will judge His people and be pacified toward His servants.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 They have a mouth and do not speak. They have eyes and do not see.
17 They have ears and do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Those who make them are like them, all who trust in them.
19 Praise the LORD, you House of Israel! Praise the LORD, you House of Aaron!

18 and slew mighty kings, for His mercy endures forever
19 (Sihon, king of the Amorites, for His mercy endures forever,
20 Og, the king of Bashan, for His mercy endures forever),
21 and gave their land for a heritage, for His mercy endures forever
22 (a heritage to Israel his servant; for his mercy endures forever).
23 Who remembered us in our low estate, for His mercy endures forever,
24 and has rescued us from our oppressors; for His mercy endures forever.
25 Who gives food to all flesh; for His mercy endures forever.
26 Praise the God of Heaven; for His mercy endures forever!
66 Thus says the LORD: “The heaven is My throne, and the Earth is My footstool. Where is that House that you would build Me? And where is that place of My rest?
2 “For all these things has My Hand made. And all these things have been,” says the LORD, “And to him will I look, to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at My words.
3 “He who kills an ox is as if he killed a man, he who sacrifices a sheep as if he broke a dog’s neck, he who offers an oblation as if he offered swine’s blood, he who remembers incense as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways and their soul delights in their abominations.
4 “Therefore, I will choose their delusions and I will bring their fear upon them. Because I called, and no one would answer. I speak, and they would not hear. But they did evil in My sight and chose the things which I would not.”
5 “Hear the Word of the LORD, all you who tremble at His Word. “Your brothers who hated you, and cast you out for My Name’s sake, said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified.’ But He shall appear to your joy. And they shall be ashamed.”
6 A Voice sounds from the city, a Voice from the Temple, the Voice of the LORD, Who recompenses His enemies fully.
7 “Before she labored, she brought forth. And before her pain came, she delivered a male child.
8 “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the Earth be brought forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion labored, she brought forth her children.
9 “Shall I cause to labor and not bring forth? Shall I cause to bring forth and not deliver?” says the LORD.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her,
11 “So that you may nurse and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolation. So that you may drink deeply and be delighted with the brightness of her glory.”
12 For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will extend peace over her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream. Then shall you suck. You shall be born upon her sides and be joyful upon her knees.
13 “As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you. And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14 And when you see this, your hearts shall rejoice. And your bones shall flourish like grass. And the hand of the LORD shall be known among His servants, and His indignation against His enemies.
15 For behold, the LORD will come with fire, and His chariots like a whirlwind, so that He may repay His anger with wrath, and His indignation with the flame of fire.
16 For the LORD will judge with fire, and all flesh with His sword. And the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, after one in the midst, eating swine’s flesh and such abominations (even the mouse), shall be consumed together,” says the LORD.
18 “For I will visit their works and their imaginations. For it shall come that I will gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My Glory.
19 “And I will set a sign among them, and will send those among them who escape to the nations of Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, to those who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, far off isles that have not heard of My fame, or seen My Glory. And they shall declare My Glory among the Gentiles.
20 “And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the LORD out of all nations, upon horses and in chariots and in horse litters and upon mules and swift beasts, to Jerusalem, My Holy Mountain,” says the LORD, “as the children of Israel offer in a clean vessel in the House of the LORD.
21 “And I will take from them for priests, for Levites,” says the LORD.
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me,” says the LORD, “so shall your seed and your name continue.
23 “And from month to month, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, shall all flesh come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
24 “And they shall go forth and look upon the carcasses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, nor shall their fire be quenched. And they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
14 At that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 and said to his servants, “This is that John Baptist! He has risen again from the dead! And therefore, great works are done by him!”
3 For Herod had taken John and bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a Prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Therefore, he promised with an oath that he would give her whatever she would ask.
8 And she (having already been instructed by her mother) said, “Give me John Baptist’s head here, on a platter.”
9 And the king was sorry. Nevertheless, because of the oath, and those who sat with him at the table, he commanded it to be given to her;
10 and sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought, on a platter, and given to the maid. And she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 And when Jesus heard it, He departed from there by ship into a desert place, alone. And when the multitude had heard it, they followed Him out of the cities on foot.
14 And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion toward them. And He healed their sick.
15 And when evening had come, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a desert place. And the time is already late. Dismiss the multitude, so that they may go into the towns and buy food.
16 But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 Then said they to Him, “We have here only five loaves, and two fishes.”
18 And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
19 And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to Heaven, and blessed and broke, and gave the loaves to His disciples. And the disciples gave them to the multitude.
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
21 And those who had eaten (besides women and little children) were about five thousand men.
22 And immediately Jesus compelled His disciples to enter into a ship. And to go over ahead of Him, while He sent away the multitude.
23 And as soon as He had sent the multitude away, He went up into a mountain alone, to pray. And when the evening had come, He was there alone.
24 And the ship was now in the midst of the sea and was tossed with the waves. For it was a contrary wind.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when His disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good comfort! It is I! Do not be afraid!”
28 Then Peter answered Him, and said, “Master, if it is You, ask me to come to You on the water!”
29 And He said, “Come!” And when Peter had come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the mighty wind, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried, saying, “Master! Save me!”
31 So immediately, Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith. Why did you doubt?
32 And as soon as they had come up into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the ship, came and worshipped Him, saying, “Truly, You are the Son of God!”
34 And when they had come over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place knew Him, they sent word out around all that country, and brought to Him all who were sick;
36 and begged Him, that they might touch merely the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.
