291 : Basic English : Jeremiah 13,14; Philippians 3 1. This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.
2. So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.
3. And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,
4. 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.

290 : Basic English : Jeremiah 11,12; Philippians 2 1. The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2. Give ear to the words of this agreement, and say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem,
3. The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Let that man be cursed who does not give ear to the words of this agreement,
4. To the order which I gave your fathers on the day when I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the oven of iron, saying, Give ear to my voice, and do all the orders I have given you: so you will be my people, and I will be your God:
5. So that I may give effect to the oath which I made to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey as at this day. And I said in answer, So be it, O Lord.

289 : Basic English : Jeremiah 9,10; Philippians 1 1. If only my head was a stream of waters and my eyes fountains of weeping, so that I might go on weeping day and night for the dead of the daughter of my people!
2. If only I had in the waste land a night's resting-place for travellers, so that I might go away, far from my people! for they are all untrue, a band of false men.
3. Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.
4. Let everyone keep watch on his neighbour, and put no faith in any brother: for every brother will certainly be tricking his brother, and every neighbour will go about saying evil.
5. Everyone will make sport of his neighbour with deceit, not saying what is true: their tongues have been trained to say false words; they are twisted, hating to come back.

288 : Basic English : Jeremiah 7,8; Ephesians 6 1. The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2. Take your place in the doorway of the Lord's house, and give out this word there, and say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who come inside these doors to give worship to the Lord.
3. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says, Let your ways and your doings be changed for the better and I will let you go on living in this place.
4. Put no faith in false words, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, are these.
5. For if your ways and your doings are truly changed for the better; if you truly give right decisions between a man and his neighbour;

287 : Basic English : Jeremiah 5,6; Ephesians 5 1. Go quickly through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and get knowledge, and make a search in her wide places if there is a man, if there is one in her who is upright, who keeps faith; and she will have my forgiveness.
2. And though they say, By the living Lord; truly their oaths are false.
3. O Lord, do not your eyes see good faith? you have given them punishment, but they were not troubled; you have sent destruction on them, but they did not take your teaching to heart: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they would not come back.
4. Then I said, But these are the poor: they are foolish, for they have no knowledge of the way of the Lord or of the behaviour desired by their God.
5. I will go to the great men and have talk with them; for they have knowledge of the way of the Lord and of the behaviour desired by their God. But as for these, their one purpose is a broken yoke and burst bands.

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.

285 : Basic English : Jeremiah 1,2; Ephesians 3 1. The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2. To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his rule.
3. And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.
4. Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5. Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.

284 : Basic English : Isaiah 64,65,66; Ephesians 2 1. O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,
2. 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
283 : Basic English : Isaiah 61,62,63; Ephesians 1 1. The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;
2. To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;
3. To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
4. And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.
5. And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.

282 : Basic English : Isaiah 59,60; Galatians 6 1. Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
2. But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
3. For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
4. No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
5. They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.

281 : Basic English : Isaiah 56,57,58; Galatians 5 1. The Lord says, Let your way of life be upright, and let your behaviour be rightly ordered: for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will quickly be seen.
2. Happy is the man who does this, and the son of man whose behaviour is so ordered; who keeps the Sabbath holy, and his hand from doing any evil.
3. And let not the man from a strange country, who has been joined to the Lord, say, The Lord will certainly put a division between me and his people: and let not the unsexed man say, See, I am a dry tree.
4. For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:
5. I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.

280 : Basic English : Isaiah 53,54,55; Galatians 4 1. Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
2. For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
3. Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
4. But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
5. But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.

279 : Basic English : Isaiah 50,51,52; Galatians 3 1. This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.
2. Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.
3. By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.
4. The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:
5. And I have not put myself against him, or let my heart be turned back from him.

278 : Basic English : Isaiah 48,49; Galatians 2 1. Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.
2. For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.
3. I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.
4. Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;
5. For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.

277 : Basic English : Isaiah 45,46,47; Galatians 1 1. The Lord says to the man of his selection, to Cyrus, whom I have taken by the right hand, putting down nations before him, and taking away the arms of kings; making the doors open before him, so that the ways into the towns may not be shut;
2. I will go before you, and make the rough places level: the doors of brass will be broken, and the iron rods cut in two:
3. And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.
4. Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.
5. I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God but me: I will make you ready for war, though you had no knowledge of me:

276 : Basic English : Isaiah 43,44; 2 Corinthians 13 1. But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.
2. When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.
3. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour; I have given Egypt as a price for you, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
4. Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.
5. Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;

275 : Basic English : Isaiah 41,42; 2 Corinthians 12 1. Come quietly before me, O sea-lands, and let the peoples get together their strength: let them come near; then let them say what they have to say: let us put forward our cause against one another.
2. Who sent out from the east one who is right wherever he goes? he gives the nations into his hands, and makes him ruler over kings; he gives them as the dust to his sword, as dry stems before the wind to his bow.
3. He goes after them safely, not touching the road with his feet.
4. Whose purpose and work was it? His who sent out the generations from the start. I the Lord, the first, and with the last, I am he.
5. The sea-lands saw it, and were in fear; the ends of the earth were shaking: they came near.

274 : Basic English : Isaiah 39,40; 2 Corinthians 11 1. At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.
2. And Hezekiah was glad at their coming, and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil, and all the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores: there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which he did not let them see.
3. Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.
4. And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.
5. Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord of armies:
; AB church Lausanne
273 : Basic English : Isaiah 37,38; 2 Corinthians 10 1. And on hearing it Hezekiah took off his robe and put on haircloth and went into the house of the Lord.
2. And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
3. And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame: for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them.
4. It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so make your prayer for the rest of the people.
5. So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

2. For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.
3. Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.
4. And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.
5. For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse.
