Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 198. We are reading from Isaiah chapter 14 and 15. Also, we are diving into the book of the prophet Joel, chapters 1 and 2, as well as praying or getting wisdom from Proverbs. I'm so used to talking about the Psalms and how we pray the Psalms. But for the next foreseeable future, we will be reading from the Proverbs chapter 10 today, verses 17 through 20.
As I said, we are diving into the book of the prophet Joel. And Joel is only three chapters long. In fact, he's one of the minor prophets. And as one of the minor prophets, he's going to be just shorter. And that means Joel today, Joel tomorrow, and then Nahum the next couple of days. And Habakkuk the next couple of days after that, Baruch, Zephaniah, you would know all of this if you downloaded your own Bible in a year reading plan. You can do that now if you'd like by visiting ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year. You might realize that the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. You also can too.

What passages are we reading on Day 198 and why do they matter?
You also might realize that I just mixed up the Download the Bible in a Year reading plan and the Bible translation I'm reading from. And if you're someone who really likes consistency, well, you've probably really liked these introductions. And... And this day, just slight variation on the consistency. As I said, it is day 198. We're reading Isaiah chapter 14 and 15, Joel chapter 1 and 2, and Proverbs 10 verses 17 through 20. The book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 14. Restoration of Israel. The Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel and will set them in their own land and strangers will join them and will cling to the house of Jacob and the peoples will take them and bring them to their place and the house of Israel will possess them in the Lord's land as male and female slaves.
They will take captive those who were their captors and rule over those who oppressed them. When the Lord has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard service with which you were made to serve, you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon. How the oppressor has ceased. The insolent fury ceased. The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers that struck the peoples in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger with unrelenting persecution. The whole earth is at rest and quiet. They break forth into singing. The cypresses rejoice at you, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you were laid low, no hewer comes up against us. Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come.
It rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth. It raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations." All of them will speak and say to you, you too have become as weak as we. You have become like us.
Who is the prophet Joel and what is unique about his short book?
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps. Maggots are the bed beneath you and worms are your covering. How you are fallen from heaven, O day star, son of dawn. how you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low. You said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven above the stars of God. I will set my throne on high. I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the most high. But you are brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you will stare at you and ponder over you. Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?
