UIS Nature Invading Self

You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.

But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.

Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted."

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, so that I don't become like those who go down into the pit.

for her house leads down to death, her paths to the dead.

for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.

But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?

Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?

Men don't despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:

Don't stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven't kept my own vineyard.

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.

The king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.

"The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up."

As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.

Therefore thus says Yahweh: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"

He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered.

He said to the man who had his hand withered, "Stand up."

It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don't get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me."

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep.

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.

The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick."

He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."

So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.

So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"

but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn't break his legs.

The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.

A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

When I couldn't see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.

but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.

That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
