Jeremiah 48:7

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man.

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God.”

and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.

She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”

According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.

They conceive mischief, and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”

Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom. God may refute him, not man;’

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off.

Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.

“ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. There will be no more a prince from the land of Egypt. I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.

For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.

Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.

They left their images there; and David and his men took them away.

and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh.

The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

The burden of Egypt. “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.

They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.

For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live,” says Yahweh, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.

“Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says Yahweh.

They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.

Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says Yahweh. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or “Who would enter into our homes?”

How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”

For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.

“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourself in sackcloth. Lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam will go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

by your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

and their king will go into captivity, he and his princes together,” says Yahweh.

Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won’t strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by Yahweh and also swear by Malcam,

“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

because that they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.

Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.

Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.

Why do you boast in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come to me?’

and I will cut off the judge from among them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says Yahweh.

You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship. I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’

Won’t you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever Yahweh our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.

When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god.”

Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.

This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,” says Yahweh, “because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.”

I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace.

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says Yahweh, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.

They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.

You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;

However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
