Psalm 80:7-15
New International Version
7 Restore us, God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.(A)
8 You transplanted a vine(B) from Egypt;
you drove out(C) the nations and planted(D) it.
9 You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[a]
its shoots as far as the River.[b](E)
12 Why have you broken down its walls(F)
so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(G) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!(H)
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted,
the son[c] you have raised up for yourself.

King James Version
Psalm 80:7-15
King James Version
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

Jeremiah 2:23-37
New International Version
Jeremiah 2:23-37
New International Version
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;(A)
I have not run after the Baals’?(B)
See how you behaved in the valley;(C)
consider what you have done.
You are a swift she-camel
running(D) here and there,
24 a wild donkey(E) accustomed to the desert,(F)
sniffing the wind in her craving—
in her heat who can restrain her?
Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves;
at mating time they will find her.
25 Do not run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!(G)
I love foreign gods,(H)
and I must go after them.’(I)
26 “As a thief is disgraced(J) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(K) and their prophets.(L)
27 They say to wood,(M) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(N) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(O) to me
and not their faces;(P)
yet when they are in trouble,(Q) they say,
‘Come and save(R) us!’
28 Where then are the gods(S) you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!(T)
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.(U)
29 “Why do you bring charges against me?
You have all(V) rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
30 “In vain I punished your people;
they did not respond to correction.(W)
Your sword has devoured your prophets(X)
like a ravenous lion.
31 “You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord:
“Have I been a desert to Israel
or a land of great darkness?(Y)
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam;
we will come to you no more’?(Z)
32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten(AA) me,
days without number.
33 How skilled you are at pursuing(AB) love!
Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.
34 On your clothes is found
the lifeblood(AC) of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in.(AD)
Yet in spite of all this
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;(AE)
he is not angry with me.’
But I will pass judgment(AF) on you
because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(AG)
36 Why do you go about so much,
changing(AH) your ways?
You will be disappointed by Egypt(AI)
as you were by Assyria.
37 You will also leave that place
with your hands on your head,(AJ)
for the Lord has rejected those you trust;
you will not be helped(AK) by them.
Jeremiah 2:23-37
King James Version
Jeremiah 2:23-37
King James Version
23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
24 A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the Lord hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.

Philippians 2:14-18
New International Version
14 Do everything without grumbling(A) or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless(B) and pure, “children of God(C) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[a](D) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(E) that I did not run(F) or labor in vain.(G) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(H) on the sacrifice(I) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(J) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

No Confidence in the Flesh
3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again,(A) and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs,(B) those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision,(C) we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus,(D) and who put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.(E)
If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:

3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
