Deuteronomy 4:24-40
New King James Version
24 For (A)the Lord your God is a consuming fire, (B)a jealous God.
25 “When you beget children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, and act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, and (C)do evil in the sight of the Lord your God to provoke Him to anger, 26 (D)I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not [a]prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And the Lord (E)will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. 28 And (F)there you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, (G)which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. 29 (H)But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in [b]distress, and all these things come upon you in the (I)latter days, when you (J)turn to the Lord your God and obey His voice 31 (for the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor (K)destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.
32 “For (L)ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask (M)from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. 33 (N)Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? 34 Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, (O)by trials, (P)by signs, by wonders, by war, (Q)by a mighty hand and (R)an outstretched arm, (S)and by great [c]terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord Himself is God; (T)there is none other besides Him. 36 (U)Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because (V)He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their [d]descendants after them; and (W)He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power, 38 (X)driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day. 39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that (Y)the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. 40 (Z)You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that [e]it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may [f]prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”

Deuteronomy 4:24-40
New International Version
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire,(A) a jealous God.(B)
25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt(C) and make any kind of idol,(D) doing evil(E) in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses(F) against you(G) this day that you will quickly perish(H) from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. 27 The Lord will scatter(I) you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive(J) among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods(K) of wood and stone,(L) which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.(M) 29 But if from there you seek(N) the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart(O) and with all your soul.(P) 30 When you are in distress(Q) and all these things have happened to you, then in later days(R) you will return(S) to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful(T) God; he will not abandon(U) or destroy(V) you or forget(W) the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
The Lord Is God
32 Ask(X) now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth;(Y) ask from one end of the heavens to the other.(Z) Has anything so great(AA) as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?(AB) 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation,(AC) by testings,(AD) by signs(AE) and wonders,(AF) by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm,(AG) or by great and awesome deeds,(AH) like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.(AI) 36 From heaven he made you hear his voice(AJ) to discipline(AK) you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37 Because he loved(AL) your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,(AM) 38 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance,(AN) as it is today.
39 Acknowledge(AO) and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.(AP) 40 Keep(AQ) his decrees and commands,(AR) which I am giving you today, so that it may go well(AS) with you and your children after you and that you may live long(AT) in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.

New King James Version
8 “Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you today, that you may (A)be strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess, 9 and (B)that you may prolong your days in the land (C)which the Lord [a]swore to give your fathers, to them and their descendants, (D)‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’ 10 For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; 11 (E)but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, 12 a land for which the Lord your God cares; (F)the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.
13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly [b]obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then (G)I[c] will give you the rain for your land in its season, (H)the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 (I)And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may (J)eat and be [d]filled.’ 16 Take heed to yourselves, (K)lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and (L)serve other gods and worship them, 17 lest (M)the Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He (N)shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and (O)you perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.
18 “Therefore (P)you shall [e]lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your (Q)soul, and (R)bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 (S)You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 20 (T)And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 that (U)your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like (V)the days of the heavens above the earth.

New International Version
8 Observe therefore all the commands(A) I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,(B) 9 and so that you may live long(C) in the land the Lord swore(D) to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.(E) 10 The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt,(F) from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden. 11 But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys(G) that drinks rain from heaven.(H) 12 It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes(I) of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
13 So if you faithfully obey(J) the commands I am giving you today—to love(K) the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul(L)— 14 then I will send rain(M) on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains,(N) so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. 15 I will provide grass(O) in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.(P)
16 Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.(Q) 17 Then the Lord’s anger(R) will burn against you, and he will shut up(S) the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce,(T) and you will soon perish(U) from the good land the Lord is giving you. 18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.(V) 19 Teach them to your children,(W) talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.(X) 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,(Y) 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many(Z) in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.(AA)

Jeremiah 8:13-9:24
New King James Version
13 “I will surely [a]consume them,” says the Lord.
“No grapes shall be (A)on the vine,
Nor figs on the (B)fig tree,
And the leaf shall fade;
And the things I have given them shall (C)pass away from them.” ’ ”
14 “Why do we sit still?
(D)Assemble yourselves,
And let us enter the fortified cities,
And let us be silent there.
For the Lord our God has put us to silence
And given us (E)water[b] of gall to drink,
Because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 “We (F)looked for peace, but no good came;
And for a time of health, and there was trouble!
16 The snorting of His horses was heard from (G)Dan.
The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His (H)strong ones;
For they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell in it.”
17 “For behold, I will send serpents among you,
Vipers which cannot be (I)charmed,
And they shall bite you,” says the Lord.
The Prophet Mourns for the People
18 I would comfort myself in sorrow;
My heart is faint in me.
19 Listen! The voice,
The cry of the daughter of my people
From (J)a far country:
“Is not the Lord in Zion?
Is not her King in her?”
“Why have they provoked Me to anger
With their carved images—
With foreign idols?”
20 “The harvest is past,
The summer is ended,
And we are not saved!”
21 (K)For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt.
I am (L)mourning;
Astonishment has taken hold of me.
22 Is there no (M)balm in Gilead,
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no recovery
For the health of the daughter of my people?
Disobedience Brings God’s Judgment
9 Oh, (N)that my head were waters,
And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For the slain of the daughter of my people!
2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness
A lodging place for travelers;
That I might leave my people,
And go from them!
For (O)they are all adulterers,
An assembly of treacherous men.
3 “And like their bow (P)they have bent their tongues for lies.
They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
For they proceed from (Q)evil to evil,
And they (R)do not know Me,” says the Lord.
4 “Everyone(S) take heed to his [c]neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;
For every brother will utterly supplant,
And every neighbor will (T)walk with slanderers.
5 Everyone will (U)deceive his neighbor,
And will not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, (V)I will refine them and [d]try them;
(W)For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
8 Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks (X)deceit;
One speaks (Y)peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But [e]in his heart he [f]lies in wait.
9 (Z)Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains,
And (AA)for the [g]dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
Because they are burned up,
So that no one can pass through;
Nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
(AB)Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
They are gone.
11 “I will make Jerusalem (AC)a heap of ruins, (AD)a den of jackals.
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.”
12 (AE)Who is the wise man who may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness, so that no one can pass through?
13 And the Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have (AF)not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have (AG)walked according to the [h]dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, (AH)which their fathers taught them,” 15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will (AI)feed them, this people, (AJ)with wormwood, and give them [i]water of gall to drink. 16 I will (AK)scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. (AL)And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”
The People Mourn in Judgment
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Consider and call for (AM)the mourning women,
That they may come;
And send for skillful wailing women,
That they may come.
18 Let them make haste
And take up a wailing for us,
That (AN)our eyes may run with tears,
And our eyelids gush with water.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How we are plundered!
We are greatly ashamed,
Because we have forsaken the land,
Because we have been cast out of (AO)our dwellings.’ ”
20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O women,
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a lamentation.
21 For death has come through our windows,
Has entered our palaces,
To kill off (AP)the children—[j]no longer to be outside!
And the young men—[k]no longer on the streets!
22 Speak, “Thus says the Lord:
‘Even the carcasses of men shall fall (AQ)as refuse on the open field,
Like cuttings after the harvester,
And no one shall gather them.’ ”
23 Thus says the Lord:
(AR)“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his (AS)might,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
24 But (AT)let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, [l]judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
(AU)For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

13 “‘I will take away their harvest,
declares the Lord.
There will be no grapes on the vine.(A)
There will be no figs(B) on the tree,
and their leaves will wither.(C)
What I have given them
will be taken(D) from them.[a]’”
14 Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(E)
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water(F) to drink,
because we have sinned(G) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(H)
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(I)
16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses(J)
is heard from Dan;(K)
at the neighing of their stallions
the whole land trembles.(L)
They have come to devour(M)
the land and everything in it,
the city and all who live there.
17 “See, I will send venomous snakes(N) among you,
vipers that cannot be charmed,(O)
and they will bite you,”
declares the Lord.
18 You who are my Comforter[b] in sorrow,
my heart is faint(P) within me.
19 Listen to the cry of my people
from a land far away:(Q)
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
Is her King(R) no longer there?”
20 “The harvest is past,
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved.”
21 Since my people are crushed,(V) I am crushed;
I mourn,(W) and horror grips me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?(X)
Is there no physician(Y) there?
Why then is there no healing(Z)
for the wound of my people?
9 [c]1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears!(AA)
I would weep(AB) day and night
for the slain of my people.(AC)
2 Oh, that I had in the desert(AD)
a lodging place for travelers,
so that I might leave my people
and go away from them;
for they are all adulterers,(AE)
a crowd of unfaithful(AF) people.
3 “They make ready their tongue
like a bow, to shoot lies;(AG)
it is not by truth
that they triumph[d] in the land.
They go from one sin to another;
they do not acknowledge(AH) me,”
declares the Lord.
4 “Beware of your friends;(AI)
do not trust anyone in your clan.(AJ)
For every one of them is a deceiver,[e](AK)
and every friend a slanderer.(AL)
5 Friend deceives friend,(AM)
and no one speaks the truth.(AN)
They have taught their tongues to lie;(AO)
they weary themselves with sinning.
6 You[f] live in the midst of deception;(AP)
in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,”
declares the Lord.
7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will refine(AQ) and test(AR) them,
for what else can I do
because of the sin of my people?
8 Their tongue(AS) is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,(AT)
but in their hearts they set traps(AU) for them.(AV)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(AW) myself
on such a nation as this?”
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains
and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands.(AX)
They are desolate and untraveled,
and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
The birds(AY) have all fled
and the animals are gone.
11 “I will make Jerusalem a heap(AZ) of ruins,
a haunt of jackals;(BA)
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah(BB)
so no one can live there.”(BC)
12 Who is wise(BD) enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?
13 The Lord said, “It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law.(BE) 14 Instead, they have followed(BF) the stubbornness of their hearts;(BG) they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them.” 15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “See, I will make this people eat bitter food(BH) and drink poisoned water.(BI) 16 I will scatter them among nations(BJ) that neither they nor their ancestors have known,(BK) and I will pursue them with the sword(BL) until I have made an end of them.”(BM)
17 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Consider now! Call for the wailing women(BN) to come;
send for the most skillful of them.
18 Let them come quickly
and wail over us
till our eyes overflow with tears
and water streams from our eyelids.(BO)
19 The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
‘How ruined(BP) we are!
How great is our shame!
We must leave our land
because our houses are in ruins.’”
20 Now, you women, hear the word of the Lord;
open your ears to the words of his mouth.(BQ)
Teach your daughters how to wail;
teach one another a lament.(BR)
21 Death has climbed in through our windows(BS)
and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
and the young men(BT) from the public squares.
22 Say, “This is what the Lord declares:
“‘Dead bodies will lie
like dung(BU) on the open field,
like cut grain behind the reaper,
with no one to gather them.’”
23 This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom(BV)
or the strong boast of their strength(BW)
or the rich boast of their riches,(BX)
24 but let the one who boasts boast(BY) about this:
that they have the understanding to know(BZ) me,
that I am the Lord,(CA) who exercises kindness,(CB)
justice and righteousness(CC) on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.

11 (A)I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. (B)He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire. 12 (C)His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will (D)burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
John Baptizes Jesus(E)
13 (F)Then Jesus came (G)from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 (H)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and [b]He saw (I)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 (J)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, (K)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.(F) 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,(G) and he saw the Spirit of God(H) descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven(I) said, “This is my Son,(J) whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”(K)
