Day 250 and 251: Ezekiel 14-19, September 2nd and 3rd, 2023
Ezekiel 16
15 But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the asking. 16 You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!
Day 247 and 248: Lamentations, August 28th and 29th, 2023
Lamentations 3
21 Yet I call this to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the loving devotion of the Lord we are not consumed,
for His mercies never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness!
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in Him.”
Day 246: Jeremiah 50-52, August 27th, 2023
Jeremiah 52
9 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah. 10 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah. 11Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
