What is the purpose of today’s readings from Jeremiah, Daniel, and Proverbs?
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 two hundred and forty-five. Well done. We're reading Jeremiah chapter thirty-one, as well as Daniel Chapter 14. So the last chapter in Daniel, as well as As one chapter from Jeremiah, we're also reading Proverbs chapter 16, verses 21 through 24. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition.

But here we are, reading day two forty five, Jeremiah thirty one, Daniel fourteen, Proverbs sixteen, verses twenty one through twenty four. The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, chapter thirty one. At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
Thus says the Lord, the people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness. When Israel sought for rest, the Lord appeared to him from afar. I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore, I have continued my faithfulness to you. Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin Israel. Again you shall adorn yourself with timbrels, and shall go forth in the dance of the merry makers. Again you shall plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria, the planters shall plant and shall enjoy the fruit. For there shall be a day when watchmen will call in the hill country of Ephraim, Arise, and let us go up to Zion to the Lord our God. For thus says the Lord, sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of the nations.
Proclaim, give praise and say, The Lord has saved his people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth. Among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child, and her who has labor pains together. A great company they shall return here. With weeping they shall come, and with consolations I will lead them back. I will make them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble, for I am a father to Israel. And Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the islands afar off. Say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, and has redeemed him from the hands too strong for him. They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd. Their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more. Then shall the maidens rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them and give them gladness for sorrow. I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the Lord. Thus says the Lord. A voice is heard in Rama, lamentation and bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children because they are not. Thus says the Lord. Keep your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord, and they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
