13 The Word that YAHUVEH spoke to Jeremiah the prophet of the coming of
Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, to strike the land of Egypt. 14 Declare it in Egypt, and make it heard in Migdol, and make it heard in Noph
and in Tahpanhes; say, Stand fast and get yourself ready, for the sword shall
devour all around you. 15 Why is your mighty one swept away? He did not stand because YAHUVEH thrust
him down. 16 He made many stumble; yea, one fell on his neighbor. And they said, Arise,
and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, away from
the oppressing sword. 17 They cried there, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is an empty roar; he has passed the
appointed time. 18 As I live, says the King whose name is YAHUVEH of Hosts, Surely as Tabor is
among the mountains, and as Carmel is by the sea, he shall come. 19 O daughter dwelling in Egypt, get ready to go into captivity. For Noph shall
be a waste, and set afire, without inhabitant. 20 Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but coming a stinger comes out of the north. 21 Also her hired ones are in the midst of her like calves of the stall; for
they also have turned back, fleeing together. They did not stand because the day
of their calamity had come on them, the time of their punishment. 22 Its sound is like a serpent’s going, for they shall go in force, and come
against her with axes, like woodcutters. 23 They have cut down her forest, says YAHUVEH, though it cannot be searched,
because they are more than the locusts, and there is no number to them. 24 The daughter of Egypt shall be ashamed. She shall be delivered into the hand
of the people of the north. 25 YAHUVEH of Hosts, the ELOHIM of Israel, says, Behold, I am punishing the
multitudes of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even
Pharaoh and those who trust in him. 26 And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into
the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his
servants. And afterward it will be inhabited, as in the days of old, declares
YAHUVEH. 27 But you, do not fear, O My servant Jacob; and do not be afraid, O Israel.
For, behold, I am saving you from afar off, and your seed from the land of their
exile. And Jacob shall return and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make
afraid. 28 You shall not fear, O Jacob My servant, says YAHUVEH, for I am with you. For
I will make a full end of all the nations there where I have driven you. But I
will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you justly, and by no means
will I leave you unpunished. John 19:31-37
31 Then, since it was Preparation, that the bodies not remain on the tree on the
Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a holy day, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs
might be broken and they be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other
crucified with Him. 33 But on coming to Yahshua, when they saw He was dead already, they did not
break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and at blood and water
came out. 35 And the one seeing has borne witness and his witness is true; and that one
knows that he speaks truly, that you may believe. 36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “Not a bone
of Him shall be broken.” (Ex. 12:46; Psa. 34:20) 37 And again, a different Scripture says, “They shall look at Him whom they have
pierced.” (Zech. 12:10)
