2 Samuel 24, Galatians 4, Ezekiel 31, Psalm 79

 

2 Samuel 24,

1 Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, "Go and take a census of Israel and Judah."
 
2 So the king said to Joab and the army commanders with him, "Go throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and enroll the fighting men, so that I may know how many there are."
 
3 But Joab replied to the king, "May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?"
 
4 The king's word, however, overruled Joab and the army commanders; so they left the presence of the king to enroll the fighting men of Israel.
 
5 After crossing the Jordan, they camped near Aroer, south of the town in the gorge, and then went through Gad and on to Jazer.
 
6 They went to Gilead and the region of Tahtim Hodshi, and on to Dan Jaan and around toward Sidon.
 
7 Then they went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the towns of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to Beersheba in the Negev of Judah.
 
8 After they had gone through the entire land, they came back to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
 
9 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to the king: In Israel there were eight hundred thousand able-bodied men who could handle a sword, and in Judah five hundred thousand.
 
10 David was conscience-stricken after he had counted the fighting men, and he said to the LORD, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing."
 
11 Before David got up the next morning, the word of the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David's seer:
 
12 "Go and tell David, 'This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.' "
 
13 So Gad went to David and said to him, "Shall there come upon you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me."
 
14 David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men."
 
15 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
 
16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
 
17 When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the LORD, "I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Let your hand fall upon me and my family."
 
18 On that day Gad went to David and said to him, "Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
 
19 So David went up, as the LORD had commanded through Gad.
 
20 When Araunah looked and saw the king and his men coming toward him, he went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
 
21 Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" "To buy your threshing floor," David answered, "so I can build an altar to the LORD, that the plague on the people may be stopped."
 
22 Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take whatever pleases him and offer it up. Here are oxen for the burnt offering, and here are threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
 
23 O king, Araunah gives all this to the king." Araunah also said to him, "May the LORD your God accept you."
 
24 But the king replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver for them.
 
25 David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the LORD answered prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.

 

 

Galatians 4,

1 What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
 
2 He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.
 
3 So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the basic principles of the world.
 
4 But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,
 
5 to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.
 
6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."
 
7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
 
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
 
9 But now that you know God-or rather are known by God-how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
 
10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
 
11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
 
12 I plead with you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
 
13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.
 
14 Even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
 
15 What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
 
16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
 
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.
 
18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always and not just when I am with you.
 
19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
 
20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
 
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?
 
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
 
23 His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a promise.
 
24 These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
 
25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
 
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
 
27 For it is written: "Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband."
 
28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
 
29 At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
 
30 But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son."
 
31 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

 

 

Ezekiel 31,

1 In the eleventh year, in the third month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:
 
2 "Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes: " 'Who can be compared with you in majesty?
 
3 Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest; it towered on high, its top above the thick foliage.
 
4 The waters nourished it, deep springs made it grow tall; their streams flowed all around its base and sent their channels to all the trees of the field.
 
5 So it towered higher than all the trees of the field; its boughs increased and its branches grew long, spreading because of abundant waters.
 
6 All the birds of the air nested in its boughs, all the beasts of the field gave birth under its branches; all the great nations lived in its shade.
 
7 It was majestic in beauty, with its spreading boughs, for its roots went down to abundant waters.
 
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it, nor could the pine trees equal its boughs, nor could the plane trees compare with its branches-no tree in the garden of God could match its beauty.
 
9 I made it beautiful with abundant branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden in the garden of God.
 
10 " 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because it towered on high, lifting its top above the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height,
 
11 I handed it over to the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,
 
12 and the most ruthless of foreign nations cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys; its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it.
 
13 All the birds of the air settled on the fallen tree, and all the beasts of the field were among its branches.
 
14 Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined for death, for the earth below, among mortal men, with those who go down to the pit.
 
15 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On the day it was brought down to the grave I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.
 
16 I made the nations tremble at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the grave with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all the trees that were well-watered, were consoled in the earth below.
 
17 Those who lived in its shade, its allies among the nations, had also gone down to the grave with it, joining those killed by the sword.
 
18 " 'Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword. " 'This is Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the Sovereign LORD.' "

 

 

Psalm 79

1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
 
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
 
3 They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
 
4 We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
 
5 How long, O LORD ? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
 
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;
 
7 for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland.
 
8 Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.
 
9 Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.
 
10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.
 
11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you; by the strength of your arm preserve those condemned to die.
 
12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.
 
13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
