Bible Passage For The Day 9-19-2023
The Act of Sin
Jeremiah 2:26-28
“As the thief is shamed when he is found,
So the house of Israel is shamed;
They, their kings, their princes,
And their priests and their prophets,
27 Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to Me
And not their face;
But in the time when their evil comes they will say,
‘Arise and save us.’
28 But where are your gods
Which you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can save you
In the time when your evil comes;
For according to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.
The Call to Repent
Joel 2:12-13
Yet even now,” declares Yahweh,
“Return to Me with all your heart
And with fasting, weeping, and wailing;
13 And tear your heart and not your garments.”
Now return to Yahweh your God,
For He is gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness,
And relenting concerning evil.
