Jer 4:19  My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 

Jer 4:20  Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. 

Jer 4:21  How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 

Jer 4:22  For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 

Jer 4:23  I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 

Jer 4:24  I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 

Jer 4:25  I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 

Jer 4:26  I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 

Jer 4:27  For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. 

Jer 4:28  For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. 

Jer 4:29  The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. 

Jer 4:30  And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life. 

Jer 4:31  For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers. 

 

Jer 5:1  Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. 

Jer 5:2  And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. 

Jer 5:3  O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. 

Jer 5:4  Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God. 

Jer 5:5  I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. 

Jer 5:6  Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased. 

Jer 5:7  How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. 

Jer 5:8  They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. 

Jer 5:9  Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Jer 5:14  Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 

Jer 5:15  Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 

Jer 5:16  Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 

Jer 5:17  And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. 

Jer 5:18  Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. 

Jer 5:19  And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. 

Jer 5:20  Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 

Jer 5:21  Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 

Jer 5:22  Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 

Jer 5:23  But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 

Jer 5:24  Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 

Jer 5:25  Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

Jer 5:27  As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

Jer 6:5  Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. 

Jer 6:6  For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 

Col 1:19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 

Col 1:20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 

Col 1:21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 

Col 1:22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 

Col 1:23  If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 

Col 1:24  Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: 

Col 1:25  Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 

Col 1:26  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 

Col 1:27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 

Col 1:28  Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 

Col 1:29  Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. 

 

Col 2:1  For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 

Col 2:2  That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 

Col 2:3  In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 

Col 2:4  And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 

Col 2:5  For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 

Col 2:6  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 

Col 2:7  Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 

 

Psa 77:1  To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 

Psa 77:2  In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. 

Psa 77:3  I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 

Psa 77:4  Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 

Psa 77:5  I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 

Psa 77:6  I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 

Psa 77:7  Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 

Psa 77:8  Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 

Psa 77:9  Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 

Psa 77:10  And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. 

Psa 77:11  I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 

Psa 77:12  I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 

Psa 77:13  Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? 

Psa 77:14  Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. 

Psa 77:15  Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 

Psa 77:16  The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. 

Psa 77:17  The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 

Psa 77:18  The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 

Psa 77:19  Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 

Psa 77:20  Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 

 

Pro 24:23  These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. 

Pro 24:24  He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 

Pro 24:25  But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
