Jeremiah 9:1–10:25
1Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, [even] for the slain of the daughter of my people. 2Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men. 3And they have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, says the Lord. 4Beware you⌃ each of his neighbor, and trust you⌃ not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily. 5Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return. 6[There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, says the Lord. 7Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do [thus] because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people. 8Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbor, but in himself retains enmity. 9Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this? 10Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone. 11And I will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited. 12Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord [addressed] to him, let him tell you therefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it. 13And the Lord said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not listened to my voice; 14but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]: 15therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall: 16and I will scatter them among the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it. 17Thus says the Lord, Call you⌃ the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice; 18and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water. 19For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles! 20Hear now, you⌃ women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and [every] woman her neighbor a dirge. 21For death has come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets. 22And the carcasses of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to gather [them]. 23Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth; 24but let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, says the Lord. 25Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision; 26on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts. Chapter 101Hear you⌃ the word of the Lord, which he has spoken to you, O house of Israel. 2Thus says the Lord, Learn you⌃ not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, [falling] on their faces. 3For the customs of the nations are vain; it is a tree cut out of the forest, the work of the carpenter, or a molten image. 4[They are] beautified with silver and gold, they fix them with hammers and nails; 5they will set them up that they may not move; it is wrought silver, they will not walk, it is forged silver They must certainly be borne, for they can’t ride [of themselves]. Fear them not; for they can’t do any evil, and there is no good in them. 11Thus shall you⌃ say to them, Let the gods which have not made heaven and earth perish from off the earth, and from under this sky. 12It is the Lord that made the earth by his strength, who set up the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the sky, 13and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth; he made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of his treasures. 14Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them. 15They are vain works, wrought in mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 16Such is not the portion of Jacob; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name. 17He has gathered your substance from without the lodged in choice [vessels]. 18For thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] overthrow the inhabitants of this land with affliction, that your plague may be revealed. 19Alas for your ruin! your plague is grievous: and I said, Surely this is your wound, and it has overtaken you. 20Your tabernacle is in a ruinous state, it has perished; and all your curtains have been torn asunder: my children and my cattle are no more: there is no more any place for my tabernacle, [nor] place for my curtains. 21For the shepherds have become foolish, and have not sought the Lord; therefore the whole pasture has failed, and [the sheep] have been scattered. 22Behold, there comes a sound of a noise, and a great earthquake from the land of the north, to make the cities of Juda a desolation, and a resting-place for ostriches. 23I know, O Lord, that man's way is not his own; neither shall a man go, and direct his going. 24Chasten us, O Lord, but with judgment; and not in wrath, lest you make us few. 25Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the families that have not called upon your name: for they have devoured Jacob, and consumed him, and have made his pasture desolate.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 117:5–9(MT: 118)
MT Psalm 118 = LXX Psalm 117 (standard offset).
5I called on the Lord out of affliction: and he listened to me, [so as to bring me] into a wide place. 6The Lord is my helper; and I will not fear what man shall do to me. 7The Lord is my helper; and I shall see [my desire] upon my enemies. 8[It is] better to trust in the Lord than to trust in man. 9[It is] better to hope in the Lord, than to hope in princes.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 27:7
7A full soul scorns honeycombs; but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
New TestamentKing James Version
Colossians 3:1–25
1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: 23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
