292 : Basic English : Jeremiah 15,16; Philippians 4 1. Then the Lord said to me, Even if Moses and Samuel came before me, I would have no desire for this people: send them away from before me, and let them go. 2. And it will be, when they say to you, Where are we to go? then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are to be in need of food, to need of food; and such as are to be taken away prisoners, to be taken away. 3. And I will put over them four divisions, says the Lord: the sword causing death, dogs pulling the dead bodies about, and the birds of heaven, and the beasts of the earth to take their bodies for food and put an end to them. 4. And I will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and what he did in Jerusalem. 5. For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? and who will have sorrow for you? or who will go out of his way to see how you are? ; AB church Lausanne

This is what the Lord has said: Do what is right, judging uprightly, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away: do no wrong and be not violent to the man from a strange country and the child without a father and the widow, and let not those who have done no wrong be put to death in this place. 4. For if you truly do this, then there will come in through the doors of this house kings seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, he and his servants and his people 5. But if you do not give ear to these words, I give you my oath by myself, says the Lord, that this house will become a waste. ; AB church Lausanne

Take the band which you got for a price, which is round your body, and go to Parah and put it in a secret place there in a hole of the rock. 5. So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me. ; AB church Lausanne

286 : Basic English : Jeremiah 3,4; Ephesians 4 1. They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord. 2. Let your eyes be lifted up to the open hilltops, and see; where have you not been taken by your lovers? You have been seated waiting for them by the wayside like an Arabian in the waste land; you have made the land unclean with your loose ways and your evil-doing. 3. So the showers have been kept back, and there has been no spring rain; still your brow is the brow of a loose woman, you will not let yourself be shamed. 4. Will you not, from this time, make your prayer to me, crying, My father, you are the friend of my early years? 5. Will he be angry for ever? will he keep his wrath to the end? These things you have said, and have done evil and have had your way. ; AB church Lausanne

As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you; 3. While you do acts of power for which we are not looking, and which have not come to the ears of men in the past. 4. The ear has not had news of, or the eye seen, ... any God but you, working for the man who is waiting for him. 5. Will you not have mercy on him who takes pleasure in doing righteousness, even on those who keep in mind your ways? Truly you were angry, and we went on doing evil, and sinning against you in the past. ; AB church Lausanne
