    Jeremiah 18–25 | The Potter, the Prophet, and the Coming Judgment

    In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 18 through 25 from the King James Version. Jeremiah is sent to the potter’s house, where he watches a vessel being shaped and reshaped in the craftsman’s hands. Through this simple image, the Lord reminds Judah that nations and people remain in His hands, and that repentance can still change the course of judgment. But Jeremiah’s message brings increasing opposition. He is mocked, threatened, struck, and placed in the stocks, yet the word of God burns within him like a fire that cannot be contained. The prophet wrestles openly with the cost of his calling while continuing to proclaim the truth entrusted to him. These chapters also look ahead to both judgment and hope. Jeremiah warns of Babylon’s coming domination, yet he also speaks of a righteous Branch from the house of David whose name will be called “THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Jeremiah chapters 18 to 25 lead us through the potter’s house, the prophet’s struggles, solemn warnings, and the enduring sovereignty and faithfulness of God. Highlighted Verses Jeremiah 18:6 “Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.” Jeremiah 20:9 “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones.” Jeremiah 20:11 “But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one.” Jeremiah 22:29 “O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:5 “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch.” Jeremiah 23:6 “And this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jeremiah 23:23–24 “Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him?” Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 24:7 “And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD.” Jeremiah 25:11 “And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”

    Jeremiah 11–17 | Blessed Is the Man Who Trusts in the Lord

    In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 11 through 17 from the King James Version. Jeremiah proclaims that Judah has broken its covenant with the Lord and returned to idolatry. When a conspiracy forms against his life, the prophet brings his fear, grief, and unanswered questions honestly before God. Through drought, famine, false prophecy, and approaching judgment, Jeremiah carries the sorrow of a people who have rejected the fountain of living waters. Yet these chapters also contain enduring words of faith and hope. Jeremiah declares that God’s words were the joy and rejoicing of his heart. He looks ahead to the nations coming to the Lord, and he contrasts those who trust in human strength with those who trust in God—like a tree planted beside the waters, whose leaves remain green even in drought. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Jeremiah chapters 11 to 17 invite us to bring our questions before God, examine the hidden places of the heart, and place our confidence in the Lord who searches, heals, and sustains. Highlighted Verses Jeremiah 12:1 “Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?” Jeremiah 13:23 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.” Jeremiah 14:9 “Yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.” Jeremiah 15:16 “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart.” Jeremiah 16:19 “O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction.” Jeremiah 17:7–8 “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river.” Jeremiah 17:9–10 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins.” Jeremiah 17:14 “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” Sleepy Scriptures, Jeremiah 11-17, Jeremiah chapters 11 to 17, Jeremiah KJV, Book of Jeremiah, King James Bible, KJV Bible reading, Bible reading for sleep, Scripture for sleep, peaceful Bible reading, relaxing Bible reading, Christian sleep meditation, one year Bible, Bible in a year, Old Testament reading, prophet Jeremiah, broken covenant, Jeremiah’s lament, words were found and I did eat them, Jeremiah 15:16, tree planted by the waters, Jeremiah 17:7, blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, deceitful heart, Jeremiah 17:9, heal me O Lord, Jeremiah 17:14, trust in God, Christian meditation, calming scripture, bedtime Bible reading, soothing Bible narration, peaceful Christian video.

    Jeremiah 5–10 | Stand Ye in the Ways and See

    In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 5 through 10 from the King James Version. Jeremiah searches the streets of Jerusalem for those who seek truth, but finds a people who have turned away from the Lord. Through the prophet, God warns Judah of approaching judgment, false worship, injustice, and confidence in outward religion without inward obedience. Yet amid these solemn words comes a gracious invitation: “Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way.” Jeremiah calls the people back to faithful obedience, while grieving over their spiritual wounds and asking, “Is there no balm in Gilead?” These chapters also contrast powerless idols with the living God, the everlasting King who made the earth by His power and established the world by His wisdom. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Jeremiah chapters 5 to 10 invite us toward humility, truth, repentance, and renewed trust in the Lord. Jeremiah 5:3 “O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth?” Jeremiah 6:16 “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” Jeremiah 7:23 “Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” Jeremiah 8:20 “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” Jeremiah 8:22 “Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?” Jeremiah 9:23–24 “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me.” Jeremiah 10:6 “Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.” Jeremiah 10:10 “But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king.” Jeremiah 10:12 “He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.” Sleepy Scriptures, Jeremiah 5-10, Jeremiah chapters 5 to 10, Jeremiah KJV, Book of Jeremiah, King James Bible, KJV Bible reading, Bible reading for sleep, Scripture for sleep, peaceful Bible reading, relaxing Bible reading, Christian sleep meditation, one year Bible, Bible in a year, Old Testament reading, prophet Jeremiah, ancient paths, Jeremiah 6:16, good way, balm in Gilead, Jeremiah 8:22, let not the wise man glory, Jeremiah 9:23, knoweth me, Jeremiah 9:24, the Lord is the true God, Jeremiah 10:10, temple of the Lord, Jeremiah 7, Christian meditation, calming scripture, bedtime Bible reading, sleep Bible, soothing Bible narration, peaceful Christian video.

    Isaiah 64–66 & Jeremiah 1–4 | A New Heavens and a Prophet Called

    In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we conclude the book of Isaiah with chapters 64 through 66 and begin the book of Jeremiah with chapters 1 through 4, read from the King James Version. Isaiah closes with a prayer for God to reveal His power, a humble confession that we are the clay and the Lord is our potter, and a glorious promise of new heavens and a new earth. The Lord speaks of comfort, restoration, judgment, and a future in which all flesh will come to worship before Him. We then meet Jeremiah, whom God knew and appointed before his birth. Though the young prophet feels unprepared, the Lord assures him: “Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee.” Jeremiah is given the difficult task of calling Judah away from forsaking the fountain of living waters and back to the God they have forgotten. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Isaiah’s final vision gives way to Jeremiah’s call—a journey through divine compassion, human wandering, repentance, and the enduring invitation to return to the Lord. Highlighted Verses Isaiah 64:8 “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.” Isaiah 65:17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” Isaiah 65:24 “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” Isaiah 66:1 “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.” Isaiah 66:13 “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.” Jeremiah 1:8 “Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 1:9 “Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth.

    Isaiah 55–63 | Arise, Shine, for Thy Light Is Come

    In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Isaiah with chapters 55 through 63 from the King James Version. The reading begins with God’s gracious invitation to everyone who thirsts: “Come ye to the waters.” Isaiah calls us to seek the Lord while He may be found and reminds us that God’s thoughts and ways are higher than our own. His word will not return empty, but will accomplish the purpose for which He sends it. These chapters speak of true worship, justice, healing, guidance, and peace. We hear the promise that the Lord will guide His people continually, the assurance that His hand is not shortened that it cannot save, and the radiant call: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come.” Isaiah also foretells the anointed One who brings good tidings to the meek, binds up the brokenhearted, and gives beauty for ashes. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Isaiah chapters 55 to 63 lead us toward mercy, restoration, everlasting light, and praise. Highlighted Verses Isaiah 55:1 “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat.” Isaiah 55:6 “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.” Isaiah 55:8–9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

    In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Isaiah with chapters 46 through 54 from the King James Version. These chapters proclaim the incomparable greatness of God, who carries His people from birth to old age and faithfully accomplishes all His purposes. Isaiah speaks of deliverance, restoration, and the Lord’s tender remembrance of His people: “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.” At the heart of this reading is Isaiah’s profound prophecy of the suffering servant—a man despised and rejected, wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. He bears the sins of many and makes intercession for the transgressors, offering one of the clearest Old Testament portraits of Christ’s redeeming sacrifice. The reading concludes with promises of compassion, enlargement, protection, and an everlasting covenant of peace.

These chapters proclaim the greatness of the everlasting God, who created the heavens, calls the stars by name, strengthens the weary, and renews those who wait upon Him. We hear the Lord’s tender assurance: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee,” and His promise to remain with His people through deep waters and consuming fire. God declares that He has redeemed them, called them by name, blotted out their transgressions, and prepared a way through the wilderness.

The reading also brings us into the days of King Hezekiah, when Jerusalem is threatened by Assyria. In his distress, Hezekiah goes before the Lord in prayer, and God answers with deliverance.
