Sleepy Scriptures

When tomorrow feels uncertain, spend a peaceful hour resting in Scriptures about trust, courage and the faithful presence of God.

In this Scripture for Rest episode of Sleepy Scriptures, we'll listen to King James Bible passages chosen especially for those nights when questions about the future make it difficult to quiet the mind.

We begin with the familiar words of Proverbs 3: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart.” From there, Psalms 20, 27, 37, 56 and 62 remind us to wait upon God, refuse to be ruled by fear, and rest quietly in His care.

In Isaiah 41 and 43, we'll hear God's repeated reassurance: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee,” and “I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.”

Later, Jesus speaks directly to our concern about tomorrow in Matthew 6, before Romans 8 reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Our journey concludes with Hebrews 11, a chapter filled with people who lived by faith while promises were still unseen.

Soft music and peaceful nighttime ambience surround the readings, creating a quiet place to release the day's concerns and gradually fall asleep.

There is no need to stay awake until the end. Simply listen for as long as you wish, and let tomorrow wait until tomorrow.

Wednesdays: Scripture for Rest

Travel beneath the stars with Abraham in a peaceful King James Bible story about faith, promise and trusting God when the road ahead is still unknown.

In this Bible Stories for Sleep episode of Sleepy Scriptures, we begin in Genesis 12 as Abram receives an extraordinary call: to leave his country and journey toward a land that God will show him.

Across Genesis chapters 12–18, we’ll follow Abram through the land of Canaan, his separation from Lot, the rescue of his nephew, and the repeated promises that will shape the rest of his life.

We’ll stand with him beneath the night sky as God tells him to look toward the stars. We’ll hear God establish His covenant, change Abram’s name to Abraham, and renew the promise that Sarah will bear a son.

It is a story of travelling before the destination is fully known, waiting before the promise is fulfilled, and learning to trust God one step at a time.

Soft music and peaceful nighttime ambience surround the reading, creating a quiet place to unwind and gradually fall asleep.

There is no need to stay awake until the end. Simply listen for as long as you wish and allow the story to continue gently around you as you rest.

In this Through the Night edition of Sleepy Scriptures, we'll travel through selected chapters from Genesis, following some of the great stories of beginnings, faith, promise and providence.

Our journey begins with creation and the garden of Eden, before moving forward to Noah and God's covenant following the flood.

Then we'll travel with Abraham, called to leave his homeland and trust a promise he could not yet see fulfilled. We'll follow that promise through Isaac and Jacob, including Jacob's dream at Bethel and his eventual reunion with Esau.

Finally, we'll spend much of the night with Joseph—from his early dreams and betrayal, through his years in Egypt, to forgiveness, reunion and the final blessings that bring the book of Genesis toward its close.

These are selected passages rather than a complete reading of all fifty chapters, woven together as one peaceful nighttime journey through the central stories of Genesis.

In this final Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we complete our journey through the Old Testament with Zechariah chapters 8 through 14 and the complete book of Malachi, read from the King James Version.

Zechariah looks ahead with extraordinary hope. Jerusalem will again be called a city of truth. The Lord promises blessing instead of fear, and the prophet foretells a humble King coming to Jerusalem, “riding upon an ass.” He also speaks of the one who is pierced, a fountain opened for cleansing, and a future day when “the LORD shall be king over all the earth.”

Then we come to Malachi, the final book of the Old Testament. The prophet calls God’s people back to sincere worship, faithfulness, and reverence, while promising that the Lord will remember those who fear His name. Malachi looks ahead to a messenger who will prepare the way and to the coming “Sun of righteousness” who will arise with healing in His wings.

And so our One-Year Bible journey comes to its conclusion—not with silence alone, but with expectation. The Old Testament closes looking forward: toward the coming King, the promised messenger, healing, restoration, and the day of the Lord.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Zechariah and Malachi bring this year-long journey through Scripture to a quiet and hopeful close.

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we read the complete books of Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai, followed by chapters 1 through 7 of Zechariah from the King James Version.

Habakkuk begins with difficult questions about violence, injustice, and the apparent silence of God. The Lord calls the prophet to wait in faith: “the just shall live by his faith.” By the close of the book, Habakkuk can rejoice in God even when the fig tree does not blossom and the fields produce no food.

Zephaniah warns of the coming day of the Lord, while calling the humble to seek righteousness and meekness. His prophecy ends with a beautiful picture of restoration—the Lord rejoicing over His people with joy and resting in His love.

Haggai then speaks to the returned exiles in Jerusalem, urging them to rebuild the temple and reminding them repeatedly that God is with them.

In Zechariah chapters 1 through 7, the Lord calls His people to return to Him and gives the prophet a series of remarkable night visions: horsemen among the myrtle trees, horns and craftsmen, a man with a measuring line, Joshua the high priest clothed in clean garments, a golden candlestick and olive trees, a flying roll, and a woman carried away in an ephah. Through these visions come promises of cleansing, restoration, the coming Branch, and the work of God accomplished “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we read the complete books of Micah and Nahum from the King James Version.

Micah speaks boldly against injustice, corruption, false leadership, and empty religion, while looking ahead to restoration and the coming ruler from Bethlehem. His prophecy gives us one of Scripture’s clearest summaries of faithful living: “to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” The book closes with a beautiful picture of the Lord who pardons iniquity, delights in mercy, and casts sins into the depths of the sea.

Nahum turns our attention toward Nineveh, the great Assyrian city that once repented at the preaching of Jonah but has again become known for violence and cruelty. Its judgment is now approaching. Yet amid Nahum’s solemn words comes a comforting assurance: “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we read the complete books of Amos, Obadiah, and Jonah from the King James Version.

Amos, a shepherd called by God to prophesy to Israel, speaks boldly against injustice, empty religion, complacency, and oppression. His message calls God’s people beyond outward worship toward lives shaped by righteousness: “Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” Yet Amos also closes with a promise that God will restore what has fallen.

Obadiah, the shortest book of the Old Testament, turns toward Edom and warns against pride, violence, and rejoicing over the suffering of others. The prophet declares that the day of the Lord is near, while also promising deliverance upon Mount Zion.

Then we come to Jonah, who runs from God’s call to preach to Nineveh. Through storm, sea, a great fish, repentance, and unexpected mercy, Jonah learns that the compassion of God reaches farther than he expected.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Amos, Obadiah, and Jonah lead us through justice, humility, repentance, divine compassion, and the enduring truth that “Salvation is of the LORD.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we read the complete books of Hosea and Joel from the King James Version.

Through Hosea’s difficult personal calling, the Lord portrays Israel’s unfaithfulness and His own steadfast covenant love. Though His people repeatedly turn away, God continues to call them home, promising healing and restoration: “I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely.”

Then, in the book of Joel, a devastating plague of locusts becomes the setting for an urgent call to repentance and a prophetic vision of the day of the Lord. Yet judgment is accompanied by mercy. “Rend your heart, and not your garments,” Joel declares, for the Lord is gracious and merciful. God promises to restore the years that have been lost and to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Hosea and Joel lead us through unfaithfulness and sorrow toward repentance, restoration, divine compassion, and the enduring hope found in returning to the Lord.

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we complete the book of Daniel with chapters 6 through 12 from the King James Version.

Daniel’s faithfulness brings him into danger when a royal decree makes prayer to God a crime. Yet Daniel continues his lifelong practice of praying toward Jerusalem, and he is cast into a den of lions. Through the night, God sends His angel and shuts the lions’ mouths, delivering His servant unharmed.

The remaining chapters take us into Daniel’s remarkable prophetic visions. He beholds four great beasts, the Ancient of Days upon His throne, and “one like the Son of man” receiving an everlasting kingdom. Daniel also prays for his people, receives the prophecy of the seventy weeks, encounters a heavenly messenger, and is shown visions reaching toward the time of the end.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Daniel chapters 6 to 12 lead us from steadfast prayer and divine deliverance into visions of kingdoms, heavenly conflict, resurrection, and the everlasting sovereignty of God.

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we begin the book of Daniel with chapters 1 through 5 from the King James Version.

Daniel and his companions are carried from Jerusalem into Babylon, where they must learn how to remain faithful to God in a foreign land. Daniel purposes in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s provisions, and God gives him and his friends knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.

The story then unfolds through Nebuchadnezzar’s mysterious dream, the golden image on the plain of Dura, and the fiery furnace into which Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are cast for refusing to worship another god. Later, Nebuchadnezzar learns that “the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men,” and King Belshazzar is confronted by the mysterious writing on the wall.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Daniel chapters 1 to 5 remind us that God remains sovereign over kings and kingdoms, and that quiet faithfulness can endure even in unfamiliar and difficult places.

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we complete the book of Ezekiel with chapters 42 through 48 from the King James Version.

Ezekiel’s vision of the restored temple continues until, in a magnificent moment, the glory of the Lord returns from the east and fills the house. After years of visions marked by judgment, exile, and the departure of God’s glory, the prophet now sees divine presence restored among His people.

The vision then turns to worship, the ordering of the land, and a remarkable river flowing from beneath the temple. At first the water is shallow, but it steadily deepens until it becomes “waters to swim in.” Wherever the river flows, it brings life, healing, abundance, and trees whose leaves are for medicine.

The book concludes with the restored land divided among the tribes of Israel and a final name for the city: “The LORD is there.”

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 42 to 48 bring this extraordinary prophetic book to a close with visions of glory, living water, healing, restoration, and the abiding presence of God.

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Ezekiel with chapters 37 through 41 from the King James Version.

Ezekiel is carried by the Spirit into a valley filled with dry bones, where God asks a remarkable question: “Son of man, can these bones live?” As Ezekiel prophesies, the bones come together, breath enters them, and they live—a powerful vision of Israel’s restoration and the life-giving power of God.

The Lord also promises to reunite His divided people, establish an everlasting covenant of peace, and dwell among them. The prophecy then turns toward Gog and the nations, declaring that God will make His holiness and sovereignty known throughout the earth.

Finally, Ezekiel is shown a magnificent vision of a future temple. A heavenly guide leads him through its gates, courts, chambers, and sanctuary, measuring every part with extraordinary care.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 37 to 41 lead us from a valley of death toward renewed life, divine presence, restoration, and hope.

“Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.”

Ezekiel 40:4

“Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee.”

Ezekiel 41:22

“This is the table that is before the LORD.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Ezekiel with chapters 31 through 36 from the King James Version.

Ezekiel speaks of the fall of proud kingdoms, laments over Egypt, and is reminded of his responsibility as a watchman to the house of Israel. The Lord then turns His attention toward the shepherds of Israel who have failed to care for the flock, promising that He Himself will search for His scattered sheep, feed them, bind up the broken, and raise up one shepherd over them.

These chapters move from warning toward one of Ezekiel’s most beautiful promises of renewal. God declares that He will gather His people, cleanse them from uncleanness, give them a new heart, place a new spirit within them, and cause them to walk in His ways.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 31 to 36 lead us from pride and scattering toward the tender care of the Shepherd, cleansing, restoration, and the promise of a heart made new.

Ezekiel 36:28

“And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Ezekiel with chapters 24 through 30 from the King James Version.

The reading begins on the very day the siege of Jerusalem commences. Through the image of a boiling pot, Ezekiel announces that the long-promised judgment has arrived. Then the prophet himself is given a deeply personal sign when his wife dies, and he is instructed to bear his grief in an unusual way before the people.

Ezekiel’s attention then turns outward. Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, Tyre, Sidon, and Egypt each receive prophetic words. Powerful cities and proud rulers have trusted in wealth, commerce, military strength, and their own greatness, but Ezekiel declares that every nation ultimately stands beneath the authority of God.

Again and again comes the refrain: “They shall know that I am the LORD.”

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 24 to 30 remind us that kingdoms rise and fall, human pride is temporary, but the purposes and sovereignty of the Lord endure.

Highlighted Verses

“I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it.”

“And they shall know that I am the LORD.”

Ezekiel 28:2

“Thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God.”

Ezekiel 28:22

“And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee.”

Ezekiel 28:25

“When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen.”

Ezekiel 29:21

“In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth.”

Ezekiel 30:8

“And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Ezekiel with chapters 19 through 23 from the King James Version.

Ezekiel laments the fall of Judah’s princes, recounts Israel’s long history of rebellion, and warns that Jerusalem’s persistent unfaithfulness is bringing judgment near. Through vivid poetry, parables, and prophetic imagery, the Lord exposes the ways His people have forgotten Him while placing their confidence in idols, alliances, and human strength.

Yet within these solemn chapters, we also hear why God acts: that His holy name may be known, and that His people may remember Him. In chapter 22 comes one of Ezekiel’s most striking declarations—the Lord searches for someone who will “stand in the gap” before Him for the land.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 19 to 23 invite us to remember the Lord, consider the cost of wandering from Him, and remain faithful even when the world around us has lost its way.

Highlighted Verses

Ezekiel 20:12

“Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.”

“I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.”

Ezekiel 22:14

“Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee?”

Ezekiel 22:30

“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land.”

Ezekiel 23:35

“Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Ezekiel with chapters 14 through 18 from the King James Version.

These chapters confront the hidden idols of the heart and the consequences of persistent rebellion. Ezekiel speaks of Jerusalem as a fruitless vine and, through vivid parables and allegories, recalls the Lord’s long history of mercy toward His people even as they repeatedly turn away from Him.

Chapter 18 then brings the message into sharp personal focus. Each person is accountable before God for his own way, and the Lord calls His people not simply to accept judgment, but to turn and live. “Make you a new heart and a new spirit,” He says, declaring that He has no pleasure in the death of the one who dies.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 14 to 18 lead us through warning, responsibility, repentance, and the enduring mercy of the God who calls His people back to life.

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine.”

Ezekiel 18:20

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”

Ezekiel 18:23

“Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?”

Ezekiel 18:27

“Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.”

Ezekiel 18:31–32

“Make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Ezekiel with chapters 6 through 13 from the King James Version.

Ezekiel’s visions reveal the depth of Judah’s idolatry and the judgment approaching Jerusalem. The prophet is shown hidden abominations within the temple, the marking of those who grieve over the city’s sins, and the solemn departure of the glory of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Yet even within these difficult chapters, God speaks words of hope to His scattered people. Though they have been driven into distant lands, He promises to be “as a little sanctuary” to them. He also looks ahead to restoration, declaring that He will give His people one heart and put a new spirit within them.

Ezekiel is also called to act out the coming exile and to confront prophets who offer false assurances of peace. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 6 to 13 remind us of the holiness of God, the seriousness of His word, and His presence with His people even far from home.

Ezekiel 6:9

“And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives.”

Ezekiel 9:4

“Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”

Ezekiel 10:18

“Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house.”

Ezekiel 11:16

“Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.”

Ezekiel 11:19

“And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you.”

Ezekiel 11:20

“That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.”

“There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.”

Ezekiel 13:10

“Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we conclude the book of Lamentations with chapters 3 through 5 and begin the book of Ezekiel with chapters 1 through 5, read from the King James Version.

From the depths of Jerusalem’s sorrow comes one of Scripture’s most beloved declarations of hope: “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed… they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations closes with prayer, remembrance, and a longing for the Lord to restore His people.

Then, beside the river Chebar in Babylon, the heavens open before the prophet Ezekiel. He beholds an extraordinary vision of living creatures, wheels, fire, and the likeness of the glory of the Lord. Ezekiel is called to speak God’s word to a rebellious people, whether they listen or refuse.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as we journey from lament and enduring hope into Ezekiel’s remarkable vision and prophetic calling—a reminder that even in exile, the glory and presence of God are not confined to Jerusalem.

“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Lamentations 3:25–26

“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.”

Lamentations 3:40

“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.”

Lamentations 3:57

“Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.”

Lamentations 5:21

“Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.”

Ezekiel 1:28

“This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face.”

“Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.”

Ezekiel 3:17

“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we conclude the book of Jeremiah with chapters 51 and 52 and begin Lamentations with chapters 1 and 2, read from the King James Version.

Jeremiah’s final prophecy declares the coming judgment of Babylon, the empire that conquered Judah and destroyed Jerusalem. Then chapter 52 looks back upon Jerusalem’s fall: the city is besieged, the temple is burned, its treasures are carried away, and many of its people are taken into captivity.

From this devastation we enter the book of Lamentations, where grief is given a voice. Jerusalem is pictured as a lonely city mourning what has been lost. These opening chapters do not hurry past sorrow or offer easy explanations; instead, they bring suffering honestly before the Lord.

Yet even in these solemn passages, prayer remains possible. “Pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord.” Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as we move from Jeremiah’s closing prophecy into the heartfelt lament of a broken city seeking God amid the ruins.

Highlighted Verses

Jeremiah 51:15

“He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.”

Jeremiah 51:46

“And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land.”

Jeremiah 51:50

“Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.”

Jeremiah 52:31

“And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah… that Evilmerodach king of Babylon… lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah.”

Lamentations 1:12

“Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow.”

Lamentations 1:18

“The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment.”

Lamentations 2:17

“The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old.”

Lamentations 2:19

“Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 45 through 50 from the King James Version.

Jeremiah first brings a personal word from the Lord to Baruch, his faithful scribe, before the prophecy turns outward toward the surrounding nations. Egypt, the Philistines, Moab, Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Kedar, Elam, and finally Babylon all come beneath the searching word of God.

These chapters remind us that no kingdom is beyond the Lord’s authority. Nations may rise in strength and pride, but their power is temporary before the God who governs history. Yet amid these solemn judgments, Jeremiah also speaks words of comfort and restoration to Israel and Judah.

The Lord promises that His scattered people will seek Him again, asking the way to Zion, and He assures them that their Redeemer is strong. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Jeremiah chapters 45 to 50 lead us through judgment, justice, remembrance, and the promise of return.

“And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not.”

Jeremiah 50:5

“They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward.”

Jeremiah 50:20

“In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none.”

Jeremiah 50:34

“Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 38 through 44 from the King James Version.

Jeremiah’s warnings bring him into greater danger. He is lowered into a muddy dungeon and left to die, until Ebed-melech courageously appeals for his rescue. King Zedekiah secretly seeks Jeremiah’s counsel, but fear keeps him from acting upon the prophet’s words. Soon Jerusalem falls to Babylon, bringing Jeremiah’s long warnings to fulfillment.

In the aftermath, a small remnant remains in Judah under Gedaliah. After violence and upheaval threaten their future, the people ask Jeremiah to seek the Lord’s direction and promise to obey whatever God says. The answer is clear: remain in the land and do not fear. Yet fear prevails, and the people flee to Egypt, taking Jeremiah with them.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Jeremiah chapters 38 to 44 remind us of the courage to speak truth, the cost of disregarding God’s counsel, and the faithfulness of the Lord even amid upheaval and loss.

Highlighted Verses

“Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.”

“And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand.”

Jeremiah 42:3

“That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.”

Jeremiah 42:6

“Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God.”

Jeremiah 42:11

“Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.”

Jeremiah 43:2

“Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there.”

Jeremiah 44:4

“Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.”

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 32 through 37 from the King James Version.

Jerusalem is under siege, Jeremiah is confined, and the fall of Judah seems unavoidable. Yet in the midst of these dark circumstances, God tells Jeremiah to purchase a field—a remarkable act of faith pointing toward a future when homes, fields, and vineyards will once again be possessed in the land.

These chapters contain some of Jeremiah’s most reassuring promises. “Call unto me, and I will answer thee,” says the Lord. He promises healing, forgiveness, restoration, an everlasting covenant, and the coming of a righteous Branch from the line of David.

We also meet the faithful Rechabites, witness King Jehoiakim’s attempt to destroy Jeremiah’s written prophecy, and see the prophet continue speaking God’s word despite rejection and imprisonment.

So settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as today’s reading reminds us that even when circumstances seem beyond repair, nothing is too hard for the Lord and His purposes cannot be silenced.

Jeremiah 33:11

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 26 through 31 from the King James Version.

Jeremiah’s message places him in danger as priests, prophets, and leaders call for his death. Yet he remains faithful to the word God has given him. As false prophets promise a quick end to Babylonian rule, Jeremiah warns that the exile will continue and urges the captives to build homes, plant gardens, raise families, and seek the peace of the place where they now live.

Amid these difficult circumstances come some of Jeremiah’s most beloved promises. The Lord tells His people that He knows the thoughts He thinks toward them—thoughts of peace—and promises that those who seek Him with all their heart will find Him.

Then the tone turns increasingly toward restoration. God promises healing, return, everlasting love, renewed joy, and a new covenant written not upon tablets of stone but upon the heart: “I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Jeremiah chapters 26 to 31 carry us from opposition and exile toward healing, hope, restoration, and the promise of a new covenant.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we read the complete Song of Solomon, followed by Isaiah chapters 1 through 3, from the King James Version.

The Song of Solomon is a poetic book of love, longing, beauty, delight, and devotion. Its rich garden imagery, tender expressions, and lyrical language have long been read as both a celebration of faithful love and, by many Christian readers, a reflection of the deeper love between the Lord and His people.

Then we begin the book of Isaiah, where the tone shifts from song to prophecy. Isaiah opens with a solemn call to Judah and Jerusalem, exposing sin, injustice, pride, and empty religion, while also offering one of Scripture’s most gracious invitations: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD.”

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as we move from the beauty of the Song of Solomon into the opening chapters of Isaiah in this One-Year Bible journey.

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we complete the book of Job with chapters 33 through 42 from the King James Version. Elihu continues his speech, reflecting on God’s justice, greatness, and dealings with mankind. Then, at last, the Lord answers Job out of the whirlwind.

These final chapters lift our eyes from human argument to divine majesty. God speaks of creation, the foundations of the earth, the morning stars, the sea, the storehouses of snow, and the creatures beyond human control. Job is humbled, not by a simple explanation, but by a renewed vision of God’s wisdom and power.

The book ends with Job’s repentance, prayer for his friends, and restoration. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as we conclude the book of Job in this One-Year Bible journey.

These chapters include some of the most beautiful and memorable lines in the book: “when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold,” and “the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom.” We hear Job reflect on the mystery of God’s ways, the hiddenness of wisdom, the fleeting prosperity of the wicked, and his own desire to be heard.

As Job’s words come to a close, a new voice appears: Elihu, younger than the others, who has waited in silence before beginning to speak. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as we continue the One-Year Bible journey through Job chapters 22 to 32.
