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.

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.

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.” Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Micah and Nahum lead us…

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

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…

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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.…

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. Highlighted Verses Ezekiel 14:6 “Repent,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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.

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.
