Ruth 2, Acts 27, Jeremiah 38, Psalm 10

 


Ruth 2,

1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side, from the clan of Elimelech, a man of standing, whose name was Boaz.
 
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor." Naomi said to her, "Go ahead, my daughter."
 
3 So she went out and began to glean in the fields behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
 
4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, "The LORD be with you!" "The LORD bless you!" they called back.
 
5 Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, "Whose young woman is that?"
 
6 The foreman replied, "She is the Moabitess who came back from Moab with Naomi.
 
7 She said, 'Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.' She went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter."
 
8 So Boaz said to Ruth, "My daughter, listen to me. Don't go and glean in another field and don't go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
 
9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the girls. I have told the men not to touch you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled."
 
10 At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She exclaimed, "Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me-a foreigner?"
 
11 Boaz replied, "I've been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband-how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before.
 
12 May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."
 
13 "May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord," she said. "You have given me comfort and have spoken kindly to your servant-though I do not have the standing of one of your servant girls."
 
14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come over here. Have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar." When she sat down with the harvesters, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all she wanted and had some left over.
 
15 As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, "Even if she gathers among the sheaves, don't embarrass her.
 
16 Rather, pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don't rebuke her."
 
17 So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.
 
18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over after she had eaten enough.
 
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, "Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you!" Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. "The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz," she said.
 
20 "The LORD bless him!" Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. "He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead." She added, "That man is our close relative; he is one of our kinsman-redeemers."
 
21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, "He even said to me, 'Stay with my workers until they finish harvesting all my grain.' "
 
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It will be good for you, my daughter, to go with his girls, because in someone else's field you might be harmed."
 
23 So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

 

 

Acts 27,

1 When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
 
2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
 
3 The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.
 
4 From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
 
5 When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
 
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
 
7 We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
 
8 We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
 
9 Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Fast. So Paul warned them,
 
10 "Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also."
 
11 But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
 
12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.
 
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had obtained what they wanted; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
 
14 Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the "northeaster," swept down from the island.
 
15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.
 
16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure.
 
17 When the men had hoisted it aboard, they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
 
18 We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.
 
19 On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.
 
20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
 
21 After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: "Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss.
 
22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.
 
23 Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me
 
24 and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.'
 
25 So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
 
26 Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island."
 
27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
 
28 They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet deep.
 
29 Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.
 
30 In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow.
 
31 Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved."
 
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it fall away.
 
33 Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. "For the last fourteen days," he said, "you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food-you haven't eaten anything.
 
34 Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head."
 
35 After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
 
36 They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves.
 
37 Altogether there were 276 of us on board.
 
38 When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
 
39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
 
40 Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
 
41 But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.
 
42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.
 
43 But the centurion wanted to spare Paul's life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
 
44 The rest were to get there on planks or on pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land in safety.

 

 

Jeremiah 38,

1 Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah was telling all the people when he said,
 
2 "This is what the LORD says: 'Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague, but whoever goes over to the Babylonians will live. He will escape with his life; he will live.'
 
3 And this is what the LORD says: 'This city will certainly be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.' "
 
4 Then the officials said to the king, "This man should be put to death. He is discouraging the soldiers who are left in this city, as well as all the people, by the things he is saying to them. This man is not seeking the good of these people but their ruin."
 
5 "He is in your hands," King Zedekiah answered. "The king can do nothing to oppose you."
 
6 So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king's son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it, only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.
 
7 But Ebed-Melech, a Cushite, an official in the royal palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. While the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate,
 
8 Ebed-Melech went out of the palace and said to him,
 
9 "My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have thrown him into a cistern, where he will starve to death when there is no longer any bread in the city."
 
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-Melech the Cushite, "Take thirty men from here with you and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies."
 
11 So Ebed-Melech took the men with him and went to a room under the treasury in the palace. He took some old rags and worn-out clothes from there and let them down with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.
 
12 Ebed-Melech the Cushite said to Jeremiah, "Put these old rags and worn-out clothes under your arms to pad the ropes." Jeremiah did so,
 
13 and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
 
14 Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and had him brought to the third entrance to the temple of the LORD. "I am going to ask you something," the king said to Jeremiah. "Do not hide anything from me."
 
15 Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I give you an answer, will you not kill me? Even if I did give you counsel, you would not listen to me."
 
16 But King Zedekiah swore this oath secretly to Jeremiah: "As surely as the LORD lives, who has given us breath, I will neither kill you nor hand you over to those who are seeking your life."
 
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "This is what the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'If you surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, your life will be spared and this city will not be burned down; you and your family will live.
 
18 But if you will not surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, this city will be handed over to the Babylonians and they will burn it down; you yourself will not escape from their hands.' "
 
19 King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "I am afraid of the Jews who have gone over to the Babylonians, for the Babylonians may hand me over to them and they will mistreat me."
 
20 "They will not hand you over," Jeremiah replied. "Obey the LORD by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, and your life will be spared.
 
21 But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the LORD has revealed to me:
 
22 All the women left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon. Those women will say to you: " 'They misled you and overcame you-those trusted friends of yours. Your feet are sunk in the mud; your friends have deserted you.'
 
23 "All your wives and children will be brought out to the Babylonians. You yourself will not escape from their hands but will be captured by the king of Babylon; and this city will be burned down."
 
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "Do not let anyone know about this conversation, or you may die.
 
25 If the officials hear that I talked with you, and they come to you and say, 'Tell us what you said to the king and what the king said to you; do not hide it from us or we will kill you,'
 
26 then tell them, 'I was pleading with the king not to send me back to Jonathan's house to die there.' "
 
27 All the officials did come to Jeremiah and question him, and he told them everything the king had ordered him to say. So they said no more to him, for no one had heard his conversation with the king.
 
28 And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard until the day Jerusalem was captured.

 

 

Psalm 10

1 Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
 
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
 
3 He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
 
4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
 
5 His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.
 
6 He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
 
7 His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
 
8 He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent, watching in secret for his victims.
 
9 He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
 
10 His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.
 
11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees."
 
12 Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
 
13 Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?
 
14 But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
 
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out.
 
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
 
17 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
 
18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.
