Thematic Bible: Of the prophets


Thematic Bible



You are to say: This is what the Lord God says:

A great eagle with great wings, long pinions,
and full plumage of many colors
came to Lebanon and took the top of the cedar.

This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen undergarment and put it on, but do not put it in water.”

I will sing about the one I love,
a song about my loved one’s vineyard:
The one I love had a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.

and say: What was your mother? A lioness! She lay down among the lions; she reared her cubs among the young lions. She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After he learned to tear prey, he devoured people.

Now speak a parable to the rebellious house. Tell them: This is what the Lord God says:

Put the pot on the fire—
put it on,
and then pour water into it!

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:

I will open My mouth in parables;
I will declare things kept secret
from the foundation of the world.


just as He spoke by the mouth
of His holy prophets in ancient times;

so that you can remember the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.

This took place so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:
