Daily Bible CEV November 14 Verses

²³Some of you made a living by sailing the mighty sea,

²⁴

and you saw the miracles the LORD performed there.

²⁵At his command a storm arose, and waves covered the sea.

²⁶You were tossed to the sky and to the ocean depths,

until things looked so bad that you lost your courage.

²⁷You staggered like drunkards and gave up all hope.

²⁸You were in serious trouble,

but you prayed to the LORD, and he rescued you.

²⁹He made the storm stop and the sea be quiet.

³⁰You were happy because of this,

and he brought you to the port

where you wanted to go.

³¹You should praise the LORD for his love

and for the wonderful things he does for all of us.

³²Honor the LORD when you

and your leaders meet to worship.

³³If you start doing wrong,

the LORD will turn rivers into deserts,

³⁴

flowing streams into scorched land,

and fruitful fields into beds of salt.

³⁵But the LORD can also turn deserts into lakes

and scorched land into flowing streams.

³⁶If you are hungry,

you can settle there and build a town.

³⁷You can plant fields and vineyards

that produce a good harvest.

³⁸The LORD will bless you with many children

and with herds of cattle.

³⁹Sometimes you may be crushed by troubles and sorrows,

until only a few of you are left to survive.

⁴⁰But the LORD will take revenge

on those who conquer you,

and he will make them wander across desert sands.

⁴¹When you are suffering and in need,

he will come to your rescue,

and your families will grow as fast as a herd of sheep.

⁴²You will see this because you obey the LORD,

but everyone who is wicked will be silenced.

⁴³Be wise! Remember this

and think about the kindness of the LORD.
