Even the jackals nurse their young at their breast, but my people are cruel, like ostriches in the desert.ד( Dalet)The infant’s tongue sticks to the roof of its mouth due to thirst; little children beg for bread, but no one gives them even a morsel.ה( He)Those who once feasted on delicacies are now starving to death in the streets. Those who grew up wearing expensive clothes are now dying amid garbage.ו( Vav)The punishment of my people exceeded that of of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment with no one to help her.ז( Zayin)Her consecrated ones were brighter than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies more ruddy than corals, their hair like lapis lazuli.ח( Khet)Now their appearance is darker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets. Their skin has shriveled on their bones; it is dried up, like tree bark.ט( Tet)Those who died by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger, those who waste away, struck down from lack of food.י( Yod)The hands of tenderhearted women cooked their own children, who became their food, when my people were destroyed.כ( Kaf)

The king authorized his release; the ruler of nations set him free.He put him in charge of his palace, and made him manager of all his property,giving him authority to imprison his officials and to teach his advisers.

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son

The LORD spoke to Jeremiah about the drought.“ The people of Judah are in mourning. The people in her cities are pining away. They lie on the ground expressing their sorrow. Cries of distress come up to me from Jerusalem.The leading men of the cities send their servants for water. They go to the cisterns, but they do not find any water there. They return with their containers empty. Disappointed and dismayed, they bury their faces in their hands.They are dismayed because the ground is cracked because there has been no rain in the land. The farmers, too, are dismayed and bury their faces in their hands.Even the doe abandons her newborn fawn in the field because there is no grass.Wild donkeys stand on the hilltops and pant for breath like jackals. Their eyes are strained looking for food, because there is none to be found.”

Samaria’s food supply ran out. They laid siege to it so long that a donkey’s head was selling for eighty shekels of silver and a quarter of a kab of dove’s droppings for five shekels of silver.While the king of Israel was passing by on the city wall, a woman shouted to him,“ Help us, my master, O king!”He replied,“ No, let the LORD help you. How can I help you? The threshing floor and winepress are empty.”Then the king asked her,“ What’s your problem?” She answered,“ This woman said to me,‘ Hand over your son; we’ll eat him today and then eat my son tomorrow.’So we boiled my son and ate him. Then I said to her the next day,‘ Hand over your son and we’ll eat him.’ But she hid her son!”

You will oversee my household, and all my people will submit to your commands. Only I, the king, will be greater than you.“ See here,” Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ I place you in authority over all the land of Egypt.”

And my God will supply your every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory– the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.John testified about him and shouted out,“ This one was the one about whom I said,‘ He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’”For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.
