1 Samuel 13, Romans 11, Jeremiah 50, Psalm 28, 29

 

1 Samuel 13,

1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty- two years.
 
2 Saul chose three thousand men from Israel; two thousand were with him at Micmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah in Benjamin. The rest of the men he sent back to their homes.
 
3 Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost at Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul had the trumpet blown throughout the land and said, "Let the Hebrews hear!"
 
4 So all Israel heard the news: "Saul has attacked the Philistine outpost, and now Israel has become a stench to the Philistines." And the people were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
 
5 The Philistines assembled to fight Israel, with three thousand chariots, six thousand charioteers, and soldiers as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Micmash, east of Beth Aven.
 
6 When the men of Israel saw that their situation was critical and that their army was hard pressed, they hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
 
7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul remained at Gilgal, and all the troops with him were quaking with fear.
 
8 He waited seven days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul's men began to scatter.
 
9 So he said, "Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings. " And Saul offered up the burnt offering.
 
10 Just as he finished making the offering, Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to greet him.
 
11 "What have you done?" asked Samuel. Saul replied, "When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Micmash,
 
12 I thought, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the LORD's favor.' So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering."
 
13 "You acted foolishly," Samuel said. "You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.
 
14 But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the LORD's command."
 
15 Then Samuel left Gilgal and went up to Gibeah in Benjamin, and Saul counted the men who were with him. They numbered about six hundred.
 
16 Saul and his son Jonathan and the men with them were staying in Gibeah in Benjamin, while the Philistines camped at Micmash.
 
17 Raiding parties went out from the Philistine camp in three detachments. One turned toward Ophrah in the vicinity of Shual,
 
18 another toward Beth Horon, and the third toward the borderland overlooking the Valley of Zeboim facing the desert.
 
19 Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!"
 
20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plowshares, mattocks, axes and sickles sharpened.
 
21 The price was two thirds of a shekel for sharpening plowshares and mattocks, and a third of a shekel for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.
 
22 So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
 
23 Now a detachment of Philistines had gone out to the pass at Micmash.
 

    

 


Romans 11,

1 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
 
2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah-how he appealed to God against Israel:
 
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me"?
 
4 And what was God's answer to him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
 
5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
 
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
 
7 What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
 
8 as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day."
 
9 And David says: "May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
 
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever."
 
11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.
 
12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
 
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry
 
14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
 
15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
 
16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
 
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
 
18 do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
 
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in."
 
20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
 
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
 
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
 
23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
 
24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
 
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
 
26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
 
27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
 
28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,
 
29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.
 
30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
 
31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you.
 
32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
 
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
 
34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"
 
35 "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?"
 
36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
 

    

 

 

Jeremiah 50,

1 This is the word the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Babylonians:
 
2 "Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say, 'Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.'
 
3 A nation from the north will attack her and lay waste her land. No one will live in it; both men and animals will flee away.
 
4 "In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "the people of Israel and the people of Judah together will go in tears to seek the LORD their God.
 
5 They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and bind themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.
 
6 "My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray and caused them to roam on the mountains. They wandered over mountain and hill and forgot their own resting place.
 
7 Whoever found them devoured them; their enemies said, 'We are not guilty, for they sinned against the LORD, their true pasture, the LORD, the hope of their fathers.'
 
8 "Flee out of Babylon; leave the land of the Babylonians, and be like the goats that lead the flock.
 
9 For I will stir up and bring against Babylon an alliance of great nations from the land of the north. They will take up their positions against her, and from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.
 
10 So Babylonia will be plundered; all who plunder her will have their fill," declares the LORD.
 
11 "Because you rejoice and are glad, you who pillage my inheritance, because you frolic like a heifer threshing grain and neigh like stallions,
 
12 your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who gave you birth will be disgraced. She will be the least of the nations-a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.
 
13 Because of the LORD's anger she will not be inhabited but will be completely desolate. All who pass Babylon will be horrified and scoff because of all her wounds.
 
14 "Take up your positions around Babylon, all you who draw the bow. Shoot at her! Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the LORD.
 
15 Shout against her on every side! She surrenders, her towers fall, her walls are torn down. Since this is the vengeance of the LORD, take vengeance on her; do to her as she has done to others.
 
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower, and the reaper with his sickle at harvest. Because of the sword of the oppressor let everyone return to his own people, let everyone flee to his own land.
 
17 "Israel is a scattered flock that lions have chased away. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon."
 
18 Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.
 
19 But I will bring Israel back to his own pasture and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his appetite will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
 
20 In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "search will be made for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare.
 
21 "Attack the land of Merathaim and those who live in Pekod. Pursue, kill and completely destroy them," declares the LORD. "Do everything I have commanded you.
 
22 The noise of battle is in the land, the noise of great destruction!
 
23 How broken and shattered is the hammer of the whole earth! How desolate is Babylon among the nations!
 
24 I set a trap for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it; you were found and captured because you opposed the LORD.
 
25 The LORD has opened his arsenal and brought out the weapons of his wrath, for the Sovereign LORD Almighty has work to do in the land of the Babylonians.
 
26 Come against her from afar. Break open her granaries; pile her up like heaps of grain. Completely destroy her and leave her no remnant.
 
27 Kill all her young bulls; let them go down to the slaughter! Woe to them! For their day has come, the time for them to be punished.
 
28 Listen to the fugitives and refugees from Babylon declaring in Zion how the LORD our God has taken vengeance, vengeance for his temple.
 
29 "Summon archers against Babylon, all those who draw the bow. Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her for her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
 
30 Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets; all her soldiers will be silenced in that day," declares the LORD.
 
31 "See, I am against you, O arrogant one," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty, "for your day has come, the time for you to be punished.
 
32 The arrogant one will stumble and fall and no one will help her up; I will kindle a fire in her towns that will consume all who are around her."
 
33 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to let them go.
 
34 Yet their Redeemer is strong; the LORD Almighty is his name. He will vigorously defend their cause so that he may bring rest to their land, but unrest to those who live in Babylon.
 
35 "A sword against the Babylonians!" declares the LORD-"against those who live in Babylon and against her officials and wise men!
 
36 A sword against her false prophets! They will become fools. A sword against her warriors! They will be filled with terror.
 
37 A sword against her horses and chariots and all the foreigners in her ranks! They will become women. A sword against her treasures! They will be plundered.
 
38 A drought on her waters! They will dry up. For it is a land of idols, idols that will go mad with terror.
 
39 "So desert creatures and hyenas will live there, and there the owl will dwell. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.
 
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah along with their neighboring towns," declares the LORD, "so no one will live there; no man will dwell in it.
 
41 "Look! An army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are being stirred up from the ends of the earth.
 
42 They are armed with bows and spears; they are cruel and without mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, O Daughter of Babylon.
 
43 The king of Babylon has heard reports about them, and his hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped him, pain like that of a woman in labor.
 
44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland, I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?"
 
45 Therefore, hear what the LORD has planned against Babylon, what he has purposed against the land of the Babylonians: The young of the flock will be dragged away; he will completely destroy their pasture because of them.
 
46 At the sound of Babylon's capture the earth will tremble; its cry will resound among the nations.
 

    

 

 

Psalm 28, 29

1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.
 
2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
 
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
 
4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve.
 
5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
 
6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
 
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
 
8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
 
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
