The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.

And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil. They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for the end is yet to be at the time appointed.

Everyone tells lies to their neighbors. With their lips they praise others, but they don’t really mean it.

“ They get ready to use their tongues like bows,” announces the Lord.“ Their mouths shoot out lies like arrows. They tell lies to gain power in the land. They go from one sin to another. They do not pay any attention to me.Be on guard against your friends. Do not trust the members of your own family. Every one of them cheats. Every friend tells lies.One friend cheats another. No one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues how to lie. They wear themselves out sinning.

So some of the wise people will suffer. They will be made pure in the fire. They will be made spotless until the time of the end. It will still come at God’s appointed time.

They make plans to do what is evil. They say,“ We have thought up a perfect plan!” The hearts and minds of people are so clever!

The message I give you waits for the time I have appointed. It speaks about what is going to happen. And all of it will come true. It might take a while. But wait for it. You can be sure it will come. It will happen when I want it to.

Don’t eat the food of anyone who doesn’t want to share it. Don’t long for his fancy food.He is the kind of person who is always thinking about how much it costs.“ Eat and drink,” he says to you. But he doesn’t mean it.You will throw up what little you have eaten. You will have wasted your words of praise.

He said,“ I am going to tell you what will happen later. It will take place when God is angry. The vision is about the appointed time of the end.

“ A king in the south will go to war against him. It will happen at the time of the end. The king who will honor himself will rush out against him. He will come with chariots and horsemen. He will attack with a lot of ships. He will lead his army into many countries. He will sweep through them like a flood.

No, in your hearts you plan to be unfair. With your hands you do terrible things on the earth.

You think you are such a big, strong man! Why do you brag about the evil things you’ve done? You are a dishonor to God all the time.

There are lies in the hearts of those who plan evil. But there is joy for those who work to bring peace.

Warm words that come from an evil heart are like a shiny coating on a clay pot.

In the seventh month Ishmael came with ten men to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. Ishmael was the son of Nethaniah. Nethaniah was the son of Elishama. Ishmael was a member of the royal family. He had been one of the king’s officers. Ishmael and his ten men were eating together at Mizpah.They got up and struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, with their swords. They killed him even though the king of Babylon had appointed him as governor over Judah. Ahikam was the son of Shaphan.Ishmael also killed all the men of Judah who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah. And he killed the Babylonian soldiers who were there.

A person may have many plans in their heart. But the Lord’ s purpose wins out in the end.

Brothers and sisters, we don’t have to write to you about times and dates.

“ Ezekiel, tell the Israelites,‘ The Lord and King asks,“ Will the vine grow? Won’t it be pulled up by its roots? Won’t all its fruit be stripped off? Won’t it dry up? All its new growth will dry up. It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up.

It was the third year that Cyrus, the king of Persia, ruled over Babylon. At that time I was living in Babylon. There the people called me Belteshazzar. A message from God came to me. It was true. It was about a great war. I had a vision that showed me what it meant.

Then Absalom said,“ If you won’t come, please let my brother Amnon come with us.” The king asked him,“ Why should he go with you?”

He said to them,“ You should not be concerned about times or dates. The Father has set them by his own authority.

“ At God’s appointed time, the king of Syria will march south again. But this time things will turn out differently.

He has set a day when he will judge the world fairly. He has appointed a man to be its judge. God has proved this to everyone by raising that man from the dead.”

Surely ordinary people are only a breath. Important people are not what they seem to be. If they were weighed on a scale, they wouldn’t amount to anything. Together they are only a breath.
