IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD

-
JEREMIAH 8:17-22
FOR, BEHOLD, I WILL SEND SERPENTS,
COCKATRICES, AMONG YOU,
WHICH WILL NOT BE CHARMED,
AND THEY SHALL BITE YOU,
SAITH THE LORD.
WHEN I WOULD COMFORT MYSELF AGAINST SORROW, 
MY HEART IS FAINT IN ME. 
BEHOLD 
THE VOICE OF THE CRY 
OF 
THE DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEM 
THAT DWELL 
IN A FAR COUNTRY: 
IS NOT THE LORD IN ZION? 
IS NOT HER KING IN HER? 
WHY HAVE THEY PROVOKED 
ME TO ANGER WITH 
THEIR GRAVEN IMAGES, 
AND WITH STRANGE VANITIES? 
THE HARVEST IS PAST, 
THE SUMMER IS ENDED, 
AND WE ARE NOT SAVED. 
FOR THE HURT OF THE DAUGHTER
 OF MY PEOPLE AM I HURT,  
I AM BLACK; ASTONISHMENT 
HATH TAKEN HOLD ON ME. 
IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD; 
IS THERE NO PHYSICIAN THERE? 
WHY THEN IS NOT 
THE HEALTH OF 
THE DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE RECOVERED? 
LOVE

IN A FIGURE

Hebrews 11:17-40 BY FAITH  ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC:  AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES  OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,  OF WHOM IT WAS SAID,  THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:   ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE  TO RAISE HIM UP,  EVEN FROM THE DEAD;  FROM WHENCE  ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM  IN A FIGURE.   BY FAITH ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau  CONCERNING THINGS TO COME BY FAITH JACOB, WHEN HE WAS DYING blessed both the sons of Joseph; and  WORSHIPPED, LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF. BY FAITH  JOSEPH,  WHEN HE DIED, MADE MENTION  of the departing of the children of Israel; and  GAVE COMMANDMENT CONCERNING HIS BONES. BY FAITH MOSES WHEN HE WAS BORN,  was hid three months of his parents,  because they saw he was A PROPER CHILD;  and they were NOT AFRAID of the king's commandment. BY FAIT...

DEUTERONOMY 6:20-25   AND WHEN THY SON ASKETH THEE IN TIME TO COME, SAYING, WHAT MEAN THE TESTIMONIES, AND THE STATUTES, AND THE JUDGMENTS, WHICH THE LORD OUR GOD HATH COMMANDED YOU? THEN THOU SHALT SAY UNTO THY SON, WE WERE PHARAOH'S BONDMEN IN EGYPT; AND THE LORD BROUGHT US OUT OF EGYPT WITH A MIGHTY HAND: AND THE LORD SHEWED SIGNS AND WONDERS, GREAT AND SORE, UPON EGYPT, UPON PHARAOH, AND UPON ALL HIS HOUSEHOLD, BEFORE OUR EYES: AND HE BROUGHT US OUT FROM THENCE, THAT HE MIGHT BRING US IN, TO GIVE US THE LAND WHICH HE SWARE UNTO OUR FATHERS. AND THE LORD COMMANDED US TO DO ALL THESE STATUTES, TO FEAR THE LORD OUR GOD, FOR OUR GOOD ALWAYS, THAT HE MIGHT PRESERVE US ALIVE, AS IT IS AT THIS DAY. AND IT SHALL BE OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, IF WE OBSERVE TO DO ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS BEFORE THE LORD OUR GOD, AS HE HATH COMMANDED US. LOVE
