DBRP_Jul23_2014 Jer5-6 Ps140 John19a


In order to help you catch the meaning of this book, I am reading the section headings and also I am explicating what is shown by quote marks in the NLT text, saying whether it is God or Jeremiah who is speaking. This information, which is of course added by our modern editors, is very helpful to us modern readings and listeners. Today's reading has a good summary spoken by the Lord:

 ‘Why did the LORD our God do all this to us?’ you must reply, ‘You rejected him and gave yourselves to foreign gods in your own land. Now you will serve foreigners in a land that is not your own.’

 

Psalm 140 is a prayer for anyone who fears the imminent attack of wicked enemies.

 

Today we hear the drama (and injustice) of Jesus' public trial.
