The Way of Peace

The Way of Peace

As it is written:

“There
is no one
righteous,

not even one;

there
is no one

who
understands;

there
is no one

who
seeks God.

All
have turned
away,

they have
together
become

worthless;

there
is no one

who
does good,

not even one.”

“Their throats
are open
graves;

their tongues
practice
deceit.”

“The poison
of vipers is
on their
lips.”

“Their
mouths are
full of
cursing

and
bitterness.”

“Their
feet are swift
to shed
blood;

ruin
and misery
mark their
ways,

and

the way of
peace

they do not
know.”

“There
is no fear of
God

before
their eyes.”

Now
we know
that

whatever
the law
says,

it says
to those
who are under
the law,

so that

every mouth
may be
silenced

and

the
whole world
held

accountable
to God.

Therefore

no one
will be declared
righteous

in
God’s sight

by
the works of
the law;

rather,

through
the law

we
become
conscious of
our sin.

Righteousness
Through
Faith

But

now
apart from
the law

the
righteousness
of God

has
been
made known,

to
which
the Law and
the Prophets
testify.

This
righteousness
is

given
through

faith
in Jesus Christ

to
all who
believe.

There is
no difference

between
Jew and
Gentile,

for
all have
sinned

and

fall short of
the glory of
God,

and

all are
justified freely
by his grace

through
the redemption
that came
by

Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:10-24

THE BLESSINGS AND CURSES /DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 28

The Blessings and Curses /Deuteronomy Chapter 28

Deuteronomy 28:1-68

Blessings for Obedience

If you fully obey the Lord your God
and carefully follow all his commands
I give you today,

the Lord
your God will set you high
above all the nations on earth.

All these blessings will come on you
and accompany you
if you obey the Lord your God:

You will be

blessed

in the city

and blessed

in the country.

The fruit of your womb
will be blessed

, and the crops of your land
and the young of your livestock—

the calves of your herds
and the lambs of your flocks.

Your basket
and your kneading trough
will be blessed.

You will be blessed

when you come in

and blessed

when you go out.

The Lord will grant that
the enemies who rise up against you
will be defeated before you.

They will come at you
from one direction

but flee from you in seven.

The Lord will send a blessing
on your barns and on everything
you put your hand to.

The Lord your God will bless you
in the land he is giving you.

The Lord will establish you
as his holy people,

as he promised you on oath,
if you keep the commands of the Lord
your God and walk in obedience to him.

Then all the peoples on earth
will see that you are called
by the name of the Lord,
and they will fear you.

The Lord will grant you
abundant prosperity—
in the fruit of your womb,

the young of your livestock
and the crops of your ground—
in the land he swore to your ancestors
to give you.

The Lord will open the heavens,

the storehouse of his bounty,

to send rain on your land in season

and to bless all the work of your hands.

You will lend to many nations

but will borrow from none.

The Lord
will make you the head,
not the tail.

If you
pay attention to
the commands of the Lord
your God

that
I give you this day
and carefully follow them,

you will
always be at the top,
never at the bottom.

Do not turn aside
from any of the commands
I give you today,

to the right
or to the left,

following other gods
and serving them.

Curses for Disobedience

However,

if you do not obey
the Lord your God

and do not
carefully follow
all his commands
and decrees

I am giving you today,
all these curses will come on you
and overtake you:

You will be cursed
in the city

and
cursed
in the country.

Your basket
and your kneading trough
will be cursed.

The fruit of your womb
will be cursed,

and the crops of your land,
and the calves of your herds
and the lambs of your flocks.

You will be cursed

when you come in

and cursed

when you go out.

The Lord will send

on you curses,

confusion

and rebuke in

everything you put your hand to,

until you are destroyed

and come to sudden ruin

because of the evil you have done

in forsaking him.

The Lord will plague you
with diseases

until
he has destroyed you
from the land you are entering
to possess.

The Lord will strike you
with wasting disease,

with fever and inflammation,

with scorching heat

and drought,

with blight and mildew,

which will plague you

until you perish.

The sky over your head
will be bronze,

the ground
beneath you iron.

The Lord will
turn the rain of your country
into dust and powder;

it will come down
from the skies

until you are destroyed.

The Lord
will cause you
to be defeated
before your enemies.

You will come at them
from one direction
but flee from them in seven,

and you will become
a thing of horror
to all the kingdoms on earth.

Your carcasses
will be food for all the birds
and the wild animals,

and there will be no one
to frighten them away.

The Lord
will afflict you
with the boils of Egypt

and with tumors,
festering sores and the itch,
from which you cannot be cured.

The Lord will afflict you
with madness,

blindness
and confusion of mind.

At midday
you will grope about
like a blind person in the dark.

You will be unsuccessful
in everything you do;

day after day you
will be oppressed
and robbed,

with no one to rescue you.

You will be pledged
to be married to a woman,

but another will take her
and rape her.

You will build a house,
but you will not live in it.

You will plant a vineyard,
but you will not even begin
to enjoy its fruit.

Your ox will be slaughtered
before your eyes,

but you will eat none of it.
Your donkey will be forcibly
taken from you and
will not be returned.

Your sheep will be given
to your enemies,

and no one will rescue them.

Your sons and daughters
will be given to another nation,

and you will wear out your eyes
watching for them day after day,
powerless to lift a hand.

A people that you do not know
will eat what your land and labor produce,

and you will have nothing but
cruel oppression all your days.

The sights you see
will drive you mad.

The Lord will afflict
your knees and legs with
painful boils that cannot be cured,

spreading from the soles of your feet
to the top of your head.

The Lord will drive you
and the king you set over you
to a nation unknown to you
or your ancestors.

There
you will worship other gods,
gods of wood and stone.

You will become a thing of horror,
a byword and an object of ridicule
among all the peoples
where the Lord will drive you.

You will sow much seed
in the field but you will harvest little,

because locusts will devour it.

You will plant vineyards
and cultivate them

but you will not drink
the wine or gather the grapes,
because worms will eat them.

You will have olive trees
throughout your country

but you will not use the oil,
because the olives will drop off.

You will have sons and daughters
but you will not keep them,

because they will go into captivity.

Swarms of locusts
will take over all your trees
and the crops of your land.

The foreigners
who reside among you will rise
above you higher and higher,
but you will sink lower and lower.

They will lend to you,
but you will not lend to them.

They will be the head,
but you will be the tail.

All these curses will come on you.
They will pursue you and overtake you
until you are destroyed,

because

you did not

obey the Lord your God

and observe the command

s and decrees he gave you.

They will be a sign and a wonder
to you and your descendants forever.

Because

you did not

serve the Lord your God

joyfully

and gladly

in the time of

prosperity,

therefore
in hunger and thirst,

in nakedness and dire poverty,

you will serve the enemies

the Lord sends against you.

He will put an iron yoke on your neck

until he has destroyed you.

The Lord
will bring a nation against you
from far away,

from the ends of the earth,
like an eagle swooping down,

a nation whose language
you will not understand,

a fierce-looking nation

without respect

for the old or pity

for the young.

They will devour
the young of your livestock
and the crops of your land

until you are destroyed.

They will leave you no grain,
new wine or olive oil,

nor any calves of your herds
or lambs of your flocks

until you are ruined.

They will lay siege to all the cities
throughout your land

until the high fortified walls
in which you trust fall down.

They will besiege all the cities
throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.

Because of the suffering
your enemy will inflict on you
during the siege,

you will eat the fruit of the womb,
the flesh of the sons and daughters
the Lord your God has given you.

Even
the most gentle
and *sensitive man among you
will have no compassion

on his own brother
or the wife he loves
or his surviving children,

and he will not give to
one of them any of the flesh
of his children that he is eating.

It will be all he has left
because of the suffering
your enemy will inflict on you
during the siege of all your cities.

The most gentle and *sensitive woman among you—
so sensitive and gentle that she would not
venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—
will begrudge the husband she loves
and her own son or daughter

the afterbirth from her womb
and the children she bears.

For in her dire need
she intends to eat them secretly
because of the suffering your enemy
will inflict on you

during the siege of your cities.

If you do not carefully follow
all the words of this law,

which are written in this book,
and do not revere this glorious
and awesome name —
the Lord your God—

the Lord will send
fearful plagues on you
and your descendants,

harsh and prolonged disasters,
and severe and lingering illnesses.

He will bring on you
all the diseases of Egypt
that you dreaded,
and they will cling to you.

The Lord will also bring on you
every kind of sickness and disaster
not recorded in this Book of the Law,
until you are destroyed.

You who were as numerous
as the stars in the sky will be left
but few in number,

because

you did not

obey the Lord your God.

Just as it pleased the Lord
to make you prosper and increase in number,

so it will please him to ruin and destroy you.
You will be uprooted from the land
you are entering to possess.

Then the Lord will scatter you
among all nations,

from one end of the earth
to the other.

There you will worship other gods—
gods of wood and stone,

which neither
you nor your ancestors have known.

Among those nations
you will find no repose,

no resting place
for the sole of your foot.

There the Lord will give you
an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing,
and a despairing heart.

You will live in constant suspense,
filled with dread both night and day,
never sure of your life.

In the morning you will say,
“If only it were evening!”
and in the evening,
“If only it were morning!”—

because of the terror
that will fill your hearts
and the sights that your eyes will see.

The Lord will send you
back in ships to Egypt on a journey
I said you should never make again.

There you will offer yourselves for sale
to your enemies as male and female slaves,
but no one will buy you.
