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 202, day 202. We were reading from Isaiah chapter 23 and chapter 24. Also, prophet Habakkuk, chapter 1 and 2. We only hear Habakkuk for two days as well as, you know, we're Nahum for two days, Joel for two days. We got Zephaniah, Baruch. That's he's going to be three days. But kind of these shorter minor prophets, Habakkuk 1 and 2. And we're also reading Proverbs chapter 11 versus 1 through 4. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. And I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension.

I'm going to say Habakkuk and I'm going to say Habakkuk because ever since I was a kid, I always said Habakkuk. And then I hear people saying, it's Habakkuk. And I'm like, okay.

Well, I've heard it both ways.

Habakkuk, chapter one and two, Proverbs chapter 11, verses one through four.

The book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 23, an oracle concerning tire.

An oracle concerning tire.

Whale, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste,

without house or haven. From the land of Cyprus, it is revealed to them. Be still, oh, inhabitants of the coast, O merchants of Sidon, your messengers passed over the sea, and were on many waters.

Your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile.

You were the merchant of the nations. Be ashamed, O'Sydin, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of

the sea, saying, I have neither endured labor pains nor given birth. I have neither reared young men,

nor brought up virgins. When the report comes from Egypt, they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.

Pass over to Tarshish, wail, O inhabitants of the coast.

Is this your exultant city, whose origin is from days of old, whose feet carried her to settle afar?

Who has purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes,

whose traders were the honored of the earth? The Lord of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pride

of all glory, to dishonor all the honored of the earth. Overflow your land like the Nile,

O daughter of Tarshish, there is no restraint anymore. He has stretched out his hand
