NLT vs Jewish Bible Scriptures

I can't explain enough about my excitement over this Jewish Bible!

I keep coming across Scriptures that we all know and love, and seeing how it's actually written in the Jewish Bible.

Today, I thought I would share a few with you all.

Jeremiah 29: 11-14 NLT 

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 Jewish Bible

11 For I am mindful of the plans I have made concerning you - declares the LORD - plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you give you a hopeful future.

13 You will search for Me and find Me, if only you seek Me wholeheartedly.

Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT

    and he will show you which path to take.

    but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.

Genesis 1:1-2 NLT

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.[a] 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

Isaiah 41:10 NLT

    Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
    I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Isaiah 41:10 Jewish Bible

Fear not, for I am with you, be not frightened, for I am your God; I strengthen you and I help you, I uphold you with My victorious right hand.

Ecclesiastes 7:1 NLT

7 A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume.
    And the day you die is better than the day you are born.

Ecclesiastes 7:1 Jewish Bible

A good name is better than fragrant oil, and the day of death than the day of birth.

These are just a few of the ones I thought of. It's cool to see how they are some times so much alike, and other times so much different.

Is there one you'd like me to look up? Get in touch with me and I would be happy to type up the Jewish one for you.

God bless you today and always!
