Summary

Fr. Mike points out that separation from God is not due to a lack of power or love on God's part, but is a consequence of our willful refusal to follow Him. He also highlights that despite our unfaithfulness, God always has a plan for reconciliation. The readings are Isaiah 59-60, Ezekiel 19, and Proverbs 13:9-12.

0:00.0	Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible In a Year podcast, where we
0:07.7	encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is
0:11.6	brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from
0:15.1	Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story
0:19.4	today. It is day 219. We are reading
0:22.2	from Isaiah chapter 59 and 60, Ezekiel chapter 19 and Proverbs chapter 13 versus 9 through 12.
0:28.8	We only have, including today, we only have five days left with Isaiah. We're coming to the end of
0:33.1	the book of the prophet Isaiah. It's been such an incredible opportunity to be able to journey
0:36.9	through the book of woes and the book of consolation. So good. But the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised segue here. The revised standard version, second Catholic vision. I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year.

0:58.4	pesky episodes that aren't in your queue because you neglected to subscribe. As I said,
1:03.5	today's day, 219, and we are reading Isaiah 59 and 60, Ezekiel 19, without the two in front of it,
1:09.4	and Proverbs chapter 13, 13, chapter 13,
1:12.5	chapter 13, verses 9 through 12. The book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 59, injustice and oppression to be
1:20.3	punished. Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, or his ear dull,
1:26.7	that it cannot hear, but your in dull that it cannot hear. But your
1:28.9	iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from
1:33.9	you so that he does not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with
1:39.0	iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness. No one enters suit justly. No one goes
1:46.2	to law honestly. They rely on empty pleas. They speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring forth
1:52.0	iniquity. They hatch adders eggs. They weave the spider's web. He who eats their eggs dies.
1:59.2	And from one which is crushed, a viper is hatched.
2:02.5	Their webs will not serve as clothing.
