El Señor te guiará siempre;
te saciará en tierras resecas,
y fortalecerá tus huesos.
Serás como jardín bien regado,
como manantial cuyas aguas no se agotan.
The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
"Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
4God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
6-13But Jesus' priestly work far surpasses what these other priests do, since he's working from a far better plan. If the first plan—the old covenant—had worked out, a second wouldn't have been needed. But we know the first was found wanting, because God said,
Heads up! The days are coming
when I'll set up a new plan
for dealing with Israel and Judah.
I'll throw out the old plan
I set up with their ancestors
when I led them by the hand out of Egypt.
They didn't keep their part of the bargain,
so I looked away and let it go.
This new plan I'm making with Israel
isn't going to be written on paper,
isn't going to be chiseled in stone;
This time I'm writing out the plan in them,
carving it on the lining of their hearts.
I'll be their God,
they'll be my people.
They won't go to school to learn about me,
or buy a book called God in Five Easy Lessons.
They'll all get to know me firsthand,
the little and the big, the small and the great.
They'll get to know me by being kindly forgiven,
with the slate of their sins forever wiped clean.
By coming up with a new plan, a new covenant between God and his people, God put the old plan on the shelf. And there it stays, gathering dust.
JESUS THANKS TO REMOVED ME FROM THAT WORLD OF SIN AND YOU BROUGHT ME TO THIS NEW WORLD OF LOVE AND COMPASSION , WHERE YOU WANT US TO BE BLESS WITH YOUR PROMISES AND WE WANT TO TAKE THEM AND TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS, THANKS BECAUSE WE ARE YOUR SERVANTS AND YOUR WORD IT IS CARVED ON THE LINING OF OUR HEARTS.
