Deuteronomy 7:12-to-end.

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Blessings of Obedience. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that YHWH your ELOHIM will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers:
13 and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
14 You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.
15 YHWH will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
16 You shall consume all the peoples whom YHWH your ELOHIM shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.
17 If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”
18 you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what YHWH your ELOHIM did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
19 the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which YHWH your ELOHIM brought you out: so shall YHWH your ELOHIM do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20 Moreover YHWH your ELOHIM will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
21 You shall not be scared of them; for YHWH your ELOHIM is in the midst of you, a great and awesome ELOHIM!
22 YHWH your ELOHIM will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
23 But YHWH your ELOHIM will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed.
24 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: no man shall be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
25 You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to YHWH your ELOHIM!
26 You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

Deuteronomy 8.

Deuteronomy 8.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Remember YHWH Your ELOHIM. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which YHWH swore to your fathers.
2 You shall remember all the way which YHWH your ELOHIM has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
3 He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of YHWH!
4 Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so YHWH your ELOHIM chastens you.
6 You shall keep the commandments of YHWH your ELOHIM, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 For YHWH your ELOHIM brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless YHWH your ELOHIM for the good land which he has given you.
11 Beware lest you forget YHWH your ELOHIM, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein;
13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget YHWH your ELOHIM, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:
17 and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”
18 But you shall remember YHWH your ELOHIM, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.
19 It shall be, if you shall forget YHWH your ELOHIM, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
20 As the nations that YHWH makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn’t listen to the voice of YHWH your ELOHIM!

2 Peter 1.

2 Peter 1.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Greeting the Faithful. . 2 Peter’s Second Letter! \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Simon Peter, a servant and emissary of YESHUA the Messiah, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our ELOHIM and Savior, YESHUA the Messiah:
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of ELOHIM and of YESHUA our ADONAI,
3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

5 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Fruitful Growth in the Faith. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;
7 and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our ADONAI and Savior, YESHUA the Messiah.

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Peter's Approaching Death. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah made clear to me.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.

16 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Trustworthy Prophetic Word. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from ELOHIM the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of ELOHIM spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 9.

Deuteronomy 9.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel's Rebellions Reviewed. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
3 Know therefore this day, that YHWH your ELOHIM is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as YHWH has spoken to you.
4 Don’t say in your heart, after YHWH your ELOHIM has thrust them out from before you, saying, “For my righteousness YHWH has brought me in to possess this land;” because YHWH drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
5 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations YHWH your ELOHIM does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which YHWH swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Know therefore, that YHWH your ELOHIM doesn’t give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 Remember, don’t forget, how you provoked YHWH your ELOHIM to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against YHWH!
8 Also in Horeb you provoked YHWH to wrath, and YHWH was angry with you to destroy you.
9 When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which YHWH made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
10 YHWH delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of ELOHIM; and on them were all the words which YHWH spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that YHWH gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 YHWH said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.”
13 Furthermore YHWH spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people:
14 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against YHWH your ELOHIM; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which YHWH had commanded you.
17 I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 I fell down before YHWH, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which YHWH was angry against you to destroy you. But YHWH listened to me that time also.
20 YHWH was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
22 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked YHWH to wrath.
23 When YHWH sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you;” then you rebelled against the commandment of YHWH your ELOHIM, and you didn’t believe him, nor listen to his voice.
24 You have been rebellious against YHWH from the day that I knew you.
25 So I fell down before YHWH the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because YHWH had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed to YHWH, and said, “ADONAI YHWH, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don’t look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because YHWH was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

Deuteronomy 10.

Deuteronomy 10.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Second Pair of Tablets. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

At that time YHWH said to me, “Cut two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
2 I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.”
3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tables of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.
4 He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which YHWH spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and YHWH gave them to me.
5 I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as YHWH commanded me.
6 (The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.
7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8 At that time YHWH set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; YHWH is his inheritance, according as YHWH your ELOHIM spoke to him.)
10 I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and YHWH listened to me that time also; YHWH would not destroy you.
11 YHWH said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.”

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Essence of the Torah. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Now, Israel, what does YHWH your ELOHIM require of you, but to fear YHWH your ELOHIM, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve YHWH your ELOHIM with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 to keep the commandments of YHWH, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?
14 Behold, to YHWH your ELOHIM belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.
15 Only YHWH had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
17 For YHWH your ELOHIM, he is ELOHIM of gods, and ADONAI of masters, the great ELOHIM, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons, nor takes reward.
18 He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.
19 Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20 You shall fear YHWH your ELOHIM; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
21 He is your praise, and he is your ELOHIM, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.
22 Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now YHWH your ELOHIM has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.

Friday - Day 6 before Shabbat - Parasha Eikev - Reward.

Deuteronomy 11:1-25, 2 Peter 2.

Deuteronomy 11:1-25.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Love and Obedience Rewarded. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Therefore you shall love YHWH your ELOHIM, and keep his instructions, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
2 Know this day: for I don’t speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of YHWH your ELOHIM, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,
3 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
4 and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Sea of Suf to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how YHWH has destroyed them to this day;
5 and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;
6 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:
7 but your eyes have seen all the great work of YHWH which he did.
8 Therefore you shall keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it;
9 and that you may prolong your days in the land, which YHWH swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn’t as the land of Egypt, that you came out from, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs;
11 but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water of the rain of the sky,
12 a land which YHWH your ELOHIM cares for: the eyes of YHWH your ELOHIM are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
13 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love YHWH your ELOHIM, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.
15 I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.
16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17 and the anger of YHWH be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which YHWH gives you.
18 Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
19 You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
20 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates;
21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which YHWH swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
22 For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love YHWH your ELOHIM, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him;
23 then will YHWH drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the hinder sea shall be your border.
25 No man shall be able to stand before you: YHWH your ELOHIM shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you.

2 Peter 2.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Destructive Doctrines. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

4 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Doom of False Teachers. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

For if ELOHIM didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;
5 and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a proclaimer of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly;
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing Torah-less deeds):
9 ADONAI knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment;
10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a railing judgment against them before ADONAI.

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Depravity of False Teachers. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;
15 forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

18 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Deceptions of False Teachers. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of ADONAI and Savior YESHUA the Messiah, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”

Isaiah 49:14-to-end, 50.,51:1-3,4-11, 2 Peter 3.

Isaiah 49:14-to-end.

14 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. ELOHIM Will Remember Zion. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

But Zion said, “YHWH has forsaken me, and ADONAI has forgotten me.”
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!
16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17 Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who made you waste shall go forth from you.
18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live,” says YHWH, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
19 “For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
20 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?’”
22 Thus says ADONAI YHWH, “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am YHWH; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed.”
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the legal captives be delivered?
25 But thus says YHWH, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, YHWH, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Haftarah: Isaiah 50.,51:1-3.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Servant, Israel's Hope. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Thus says YHWH, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.”
4 ADONAI YHWH has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 ADONAI YHWH has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
6 I gave my back to the strikers, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.
7 For ADONAI YHWH will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
8 He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9 Behold, ADONAI YHWH will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you who fears YHWH, who obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of YHWH, and rely on his ELOHIM!
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves; walk in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. YHWH Comforts Zion. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek YHWH: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
3 For YHWH has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of YHWH; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

2 Peter 3.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. ELOHIM's Promise Is Not Slack. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of us, the emissaries of ADONAI and Savior:
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts,
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
5 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of ELOHIM;
6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
7 But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with ADONAI as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 ADONAI is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Day of YHWH. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

But the day of ADONAI will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
11 Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of ELOHIM, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

14 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Be Steadfast. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
15 Regard the patience of our ADONAI as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;
16 as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our ADONAI and Savior YESHUA the Messiah. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Isaiah 51:4-11.

4 “Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a Torah (teaching and instruction) shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
5 My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell therein shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 “Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my Torah (teaching and instruction); don’t fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults_.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of YHWH; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10 Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 The ransomed of YHWH shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
