1 Kings 7, Ephesians 4, Ezekiel 37, Psalm 87, 88

 

1 Kings 7,

1 It took Solomon thirteen years, however, to complete the construction of his palace.
 
2 He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high, with four rows of cedar columns supporting trimmed cedar beams.
 
3 It was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the columns-forty-five beams, fifteen to a row.
 
4 Its windows were placed high in sets of three, facing each other.
 
5 All the doorways had rectangular frames; they were in the front part in sets of three, facing each other.
 
6 He made a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty wide. In front of it was a portico, and in front of that were pillars and an overhanging roof.
 
7 He built the throne hall, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge, and he covered it with cedar from floor to ceiling.
 
8 And the palace in which he was to live, set farther back, was similar in design. Solomon also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had married.
 
9 All these structures, from the outside to the great courtyard and from foundation to eaves, were made of blocks of high-grade stone cut to size and trimmed with a saw on their inner and outer faces.
 
10 The foundations were laid with large stones of good quality, some measuring ten cubits and some eight.
 
11 Above were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.
 
12 The great courtyard was surrounded by a wall of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the temple of the LORD with its portico.
 
13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,
 
14 whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was a man of Tyre and a craftsman in bronze. Huram was highly skilled and experienced in all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him.
 
15 He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits around, by line.
 
16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits high.
 
17 A network of interwoven chains festooned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
 
18 He made pomegranates in two rows encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for each capital.
 
19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.
 
20 On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
 
21 He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.
 
22 The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars was completed.
 
23 He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.
 
24 Below the rim, gourds encircled it-ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.
 
25 The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center.
 
26 It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.
 
27 He also made ten movable stands of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.
 
28 This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights.
 
29 On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim-and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work.
 
30 Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side.
 
31 On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half. Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round.
 
32 The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. The diameter of each wheel was a cubit and a half.
 
33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.
 
34 Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand.
 
35 At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand.
 
36 He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around.
 
37 This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.
 
38 He then made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands.
 
39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.
 
40 He also made the basins and shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the LORD :
 
41 the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
 
42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);
 
43 the ten stands with their ten basins;
 
44 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;
 
45 the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls. All these objects that Huram made for King Solomon for the temple of the LORD were of burnished bronze.
 
46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
 
47 Solomon left all these things unweighed, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined.
 
48 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the LORD's temple: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;
 
49 the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary); the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;
 
50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
 
51 When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the LORD was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated-the silver and gold and the furnishings-and he placed them in the treasuries of the LORD's temple.
 

    

 


Ephesians 4,

1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
 
2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
 
3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
 
4 There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called-
 
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
 
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
 
7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
 
8 This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men."
 
9 (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions?
 
10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
 
11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
 
12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
 
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
 
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
 
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
 
16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
 
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
 
18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
 
19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
 
20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way.
 
21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
 
22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
 
23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
 
24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
 
26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
 
27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
 
28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.
 
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
 
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
 
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
 
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
 

    

 

 

Ezekiel 37,

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.
 
2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.
 
3 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know."
 
4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
 
5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
 
6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' "
 
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
 
8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
 
9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.' "
 
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet- vast army.
 
11 Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.'
 
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
 
13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
 
14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.' "
 
15 The word of the LORD came to me:
 
16 "Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Ephraim's stick, belonging to Joseph and all the house of Israel associated with him.'
 
17 Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.
 
18 "When your countrymen ask you, 'Won't you tell us what you mean by this?'
 
19 say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph-which is in Ephraim's hand-and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah's stick, making them a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.'
 
20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on
 
21 and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.
 
22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.
 
23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
 
24 " 'My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.
 
25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.
 
26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.
 
27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
 
28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.' "
 

    

 


Psalm 87, 88

1 He has set his foundation on the holy mountain;
 
2 the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
 
3 Glorious things are said of you, O city of God: Selah
 
4 "I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me-Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush-and will say, 'This one was born in Zion.' "
 
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her."
 
6 The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: "This one was born in Zion." Selah
 
7 As they make music they will sing, "All my fountains are in you."
 

    
1 O LORD, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you.
 
2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
 
3 For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave.
 
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without strength.
 
5 I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
 
6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
 
7 Your wrath lies heavily upon me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves. Selah
 
8 You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape;
 
9 my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, O LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you.
 
10 Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do those who are dead rise up and praise you? Selah
 
11 Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction?
 
12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
 
13 But I cry to you for help, O LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you.
 
14 Why, O LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?
 
15 From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death; I have suffered your terrors and am in despair.
 
16 Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.
 
17 All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me.
 
18 You have taken my companions and loved ones from me; the darkness is my closest friend.
