Exodus 15:1-21
Here is the song that Moses and the people of Israel sang to the Lord. They said,“ I will sing to the Lord. He is greatly honored. He has thrown Pharaoh’s horses and chariot drivers into the Red Sea.The Lord gives me strength and protects me. He has saved me. He is my God, I will praise him. He is my father’s God, and I will honor him.The Lord goes into battle. The Lord is his name.He has thrown Pharaoh’s chariots and army into the Red Sea. Pharaoh’s best officers drowned in the sea.The deep waters covered them. They sank to the bottom like a stone.“ Lord, your right hand was majestic and powerful. Lord, your right hand destroyed your enemies.Because of your great majesty, you threw down those who opposed you. Your burning anger blazed out. It burned them up like straw.The powerful blast from your nose piled up the waters. The rushing waters stood firm like a wall. The deep waters stood up in the middle of the sea.“ Your enemies bragged,‘ We will chase Israel and will catch them. We’ll divide up what we take from them. We’ll eat them alive. We’ll pull our swords out. Our powerful hands will destroy them.’But you blew with your breath. The Red Sea covered your enemies. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.“ Lord, who among the gods is like you? Who is like you? You are majestic and holy. Your glory fills me with wonder. You do amazing things.You reach out your right hand. The earth swallows up your enemies.“ Because your love is faithful, you will lead the people you have set free. Because you are so strong, you will guide them to the holy place where you live.The nations will hear about it and tremble. Pain and suffering will take hold of the Philistines.The chiefs of Edom will be terrified. The leaders of Moab will tremble with fear. The people of Canaan will melt away.Fear and terror will fall on them. Your powerful arm will make them as still as a stone. Then your people will pass by, Lord. Then the people you created will pass by.You will bring them in. You will plant them on the mountain you gave them. Lord, you have made that place your home. Lord, your hands have made your holy place secure.“ The Lord rules for ever and ever.”Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen went into the Red Sea. The Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the people of Israel walked through the sea on dry ground.Aaron’s sister Miriam was a prophet. She took a tambourine in her hand. All the women followed her. They played tambourines and danced.Miriam sang to them,“ Sing to the Lord. He is greatly honored. He has thrown Pharaoh’s horses and chariot drivers into the Red Sea.”

Jeremiah 19:1-7
The Lord said to Jeremiah,“ Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take along some of the elders of the people. Also tell some of the priests to go with you.Go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom. Stand near the entrance of the gate where broken pieces of pottery are thrown away. There announce the message I give you.Tell the people,‘ Listen to the Lord’ s message, you kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem. The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,“ Listen! I am going to bring trouble on Jerusalem. It will be so horrible that it will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring.My people have deserted me. They have made this city a place where other gods are worshiped. They have burned incense to them here. They, their people of long ago and the kings of Judah had never known these gods. My people have also filled this place with the blood of those who aren’t guilty.They have built the high places where they worship Baal. There they sacrifice their children in the fire as offerings to Baal. That is something I did not command or talk about. It did not even enter my mind.So watch out!” announces the Lord.“ The days are coming when people will not call this place Topheth anymore. And they will not call it the Valley of Ben Hinnom either. Instead, they will call it the Valley of Death.“‘ “In this place I will make the plans of Judah and Jerusalem as useless as a broken jar. I will use their enemies to kill my people by swords. They will die at the hands of those who want to take their lives. I will give their dead bodies as food to the birds and the wild animals.
