PSALMS: 12, 42, 72, 102, 132

PROVERBS: 12

OLD TESTAMENT: GENESIS 1:1 – 2:25

NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 1:1 – 2:12

PSALMS: 12

1 Help, LORD;
for the godly man ceases.
For the faithful fail from among the children of men. 
2 Everyone lies to his neighbor.
With flattering lips, and with a double heart, do they speak. 
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips,
And the tongue that boasts, 
4 Who have said, “With our tongue will we prevail.
Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?” 
5 “Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy,
I will now arise,” says the LORD;
“I will set him in safety from those who malign him.” 
6 The words of the LORD are flawless words,
As silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times. 
7 You will keep them, LORD,
You will preserve them from this generation forever. 
8 The wicked walk on every side,
When what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.

PSALMS: 42

1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul after you, God. 
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? 
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually ask me, “Where is your God?” 
4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
How I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day. 
5 Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence. 
6 My God, my soul is in despair within me.
Therefore I remember you from the land of the Yarden,
The heights of Hermon, from the hill Mitz`ar. 
7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
All your waves and your billows have swept over me. 
8 The LORD will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
In the night his song shall be with me:
A prayer to the God of my life. 
9 I will ask God, my rock,
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” 
10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
While they continually ask me, “Where is your God?” 
11 Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him,
The saving help of my countenance, and my God.

PSALMS: 72

1 God, give the king your justice;
Your righteousness to the royal son. 
2 He will judge your people with righteousness,
And your poor with justice. 
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people;
The hills bring the fruit of righteousness. 
4 He will judge the poor of the people.
He will save the children of the needy,
And will break the oppressor in pieces. 
5 They shall fear you while the sun endures;
And as long as the moon, throughout all generations. 
6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass,
As showers that water the eretz. 
7 In his days, the righteous shall flourish,
And abundance of shalom, until the moon is no more. 
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
From the River to the ends of the eretz. 
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him.
His enemies shall lick the dust. 
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute.
The kings of Sheva and Seva shall offer gifts. 
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him.
All nations shall serve him. 
12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries;
The poor, who has no helper.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy.
He will save the souls of the needy. 
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence.
Their blood will be precious in his sight. 
15 They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheva.
Men shall pray for him continually.
They shall bless him all day long. 
16 There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land.
Its fruit sways like Levanon.
Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field. 
17 His name endures forever.
His name continues as long as the sun.
Men shall be blessed by him.
All nations will call him blessed. 
18 Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Yisra’el,
Who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever!
Let the whole eretz be filled with his glory!
Amein and amein. 
20 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Yishai.

PSALMS: 102

1 Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you. 
2 Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress.
Turn your ear to me.
Answer me quickly in the day when I call. 
3 For my days consume away like smoke.
My bones are burned as a firebrand. 
4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered,
For I forget to eat my bread. 
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning,
My bones stick to my skin. 
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness.
I have become as an owl of the waste places. 
7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop. 
8 My enemies reproach me all day.
Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse. 
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And mixed my drink with tears, 
10 Because of your indignation and your wrath,
For you have taken me up, and thrown me away. 
11 My days are like a long shadow.
I have withered like grass. 
12 But you, LORD, will abide forever;
Your renown endures to all generations. 
13 You will arise and have mercy on Tziyon;
For it is time to have pity on her.
Yes, the set time has come. 
14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And have pity on her dust. 
15 So the nations will fear the name of the LORD;
All the kings of the eretz your glory. 
16 For the LORD has built up Tziyon.
He has appeared in his glory. 
17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute,
And has not despised their prayer. 
18 This will be written for the generation to come.
A people which will be created will praise the LORD. 
19 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.
From heaven, the LORD saw the eretz; 
20 To hear the groans of the prisoner;
To free those who are condemned to death; 
21 That men may declare the name of the LORD in Tziyon,
And his praise in Yerushalayim; 
22 When the peoples are gathered together,
The kingdoms, to serve the LORD. 
23 He weakened my strength along the course.
He shortened my days. 
24 I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the midst of my days.
Your years are throughout all generations. 
25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the eretz.
The heavens are the work of your hands. 
26 They will perish, but you will endure.
Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed. 
27 But you are the same.
Your years will have no end.
28 The children of your servants will continue.
Their seed will be established before you.”

PSALMS: 132

1 LORD, remember David and all his affliction, 
2 How he swore to the LORD,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Yaakov:  3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids; 5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Yaakov.” 
6 Behold, we heard of it in Efratah.
We found it in the field of Ya`ar: 
7 “We will go into his dwelling place.
We will worship at his footstool. 
8 Arise, LORD, into your resting place;
You, and the ark of your strength. 
9 Let your Kohen be clothed with righteousness.
Let your holy ones shout for joy!” 
10 For your servant David’s sake,
Don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth.
He will not turn from it:
“I will set the fruit of your body on your throne. 
12 If your children will keep my covenant,
My testimony that I will teach them,
Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.” 
13 For the LORD has chosen Tziyon.
He has desired it for his habitation. 
14 “This is my resting place forever.
Here I will live, for I have desired it. 
15 I will abundantly bless her provision.
I will satisfy her poor with bread. 
16 Her Kohanim I will also clothe with salvation.
Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy. 
17 There I will make the horn of David to bud.
I have ordained a lamp for my anointed. 
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
But on himself, his crown will be resplendant.”

PROVERBS: 12

1 Whoever loves correction loves knowledge,
But he who hates reproof is stupid. 
2 A good man shall obtain favor from the LORD,
But he will condemn a man of wicked devices. 
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness,
But the root of the righteous shall not be moved. 
4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband,
But a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones. 
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just.
The advice of the wicked is deceitful. 
6 The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood,
But the speech of the upright rescues them. 
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are no more,
But the house of the righteous shall stand. 
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom,
But he who has a warped mind shall be despised. 
9 Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant,
Than he who honors himself, and lacks bread. 
10 A righteous man regards the life of his animal,
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. 
11 He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread,
But he who chases fantasies is void of understanding. 
12 The wicked desires the plunder of evil men,
But the root of the righteous flourishes. 
13 An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips,
But the righteous shall come out of trouble. 
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth.
The doings of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him. 
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who is wise listens to counsel. 
16 A fool shows his annoyance the same day,
But one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
17 He who is truthful testifies honestly,
But a false witness lies. 
18 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise heals. 
19 Truth’s lips will be established forever,
But a lying tongue is only momentary. 
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
But joy comes to the promoters of shalom. 
21 No mischief shall happen to the righteous,
But the wicked shall be filled with evil. 
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,
But those who do the truth are his delight. 
23 A prudent man keeps his knowledge,
But the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness. 
24 The hands of the diligent ones shall rule,
But laziness ends in slave labor.
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
But a kind word makes it glad. 
26 The righteous is cautious in friendship,
But the way of the wicked leads them astray. 
27 The slothful man doesn’t roast his game,
But the possessions of diligent men are prized. 
28 In the way of righteousness is life;
In its path there is no death.

OLD TESTAMENT: GENESIS 1:1 – 2:25

1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the eretz. 2 Now the eretz was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 
4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day. 6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7  God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse, and it was so. 8 God called the expanse sky. There was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear,” and it was so. 10 God called the dry land Eretz, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. God saw that it was good. 11 God said, “Let the eretz put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the eretz,” and it was so. 12  The eretz brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with its seed in it, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day. 14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the eretz,” and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17  God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the eretz, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 20 God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the eretz in the open expanse of sky.” 21 God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the eretz.” 23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 24 God said, “Let the eretz bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, creeping things, and animals of the eretz after their kind,” and it was so. 25 God made the animals of the eretz after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good. 26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the eretz, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the eretz.” 27  God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the eretz, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the eretz.” 29 God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the eretz, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. 30 To every animal of the eretz, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the eretz, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

2:1 The heavens and the eretz were finished, and all the host of them. 2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work which he had created and made. 4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the eretz when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made eretz and the heavens. 5 No plant of the field was yet in the eretz, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the eretz. There was not a man to till the ground, 6 but a mist went up from the eretz, and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 The LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 Out of the ground the LORD God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river went out of ‘Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon: this is the one which flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the shoham stone. 13 The name of the second river is Gichon: the same river that flows through the whole land of Kush. 14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel: this is the one which flows in front of Ashshur. The fourth river is the Perat. 15 The LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of `Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: 17  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die.” 18 The LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 The LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 He made the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. 25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

NEW TESTAMENT: MATTHEW 1:1 – 2:12

1:1 The book of the generation of Yeshua the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Avraham. 2 Avraham became the father of Yitzchak. Yitzchak became the father of Yaakov. Yaakov became the father of Yehudah and his brothers. 3 Yehudah became the father of Peretz and Zerach by Tamar. Peretz became the father of Hetzron. Hetzron became the father of Ram. 4 Ram became the father of Amminadav.Amminadav became the father of Nachshon. Nachshon became the father of Salmon. 5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rachav. Boaz became the father of Oved by Rut.Oved became the father of Yishai. 6 Yishai became the father of David the king. David became the father of Shlomo by her who had been the wife of Uriyah. 7 Shlomo became the father of Rechavam. Rechavam became the father of Aviyah. Aviyah became the father of Asa. 8 Asa became the father of Yehoshafat. Yehoshafat became the father of Yoram. Yoram became the father of Uzziyah. 9Uzziyah became the father of Yotam. Yotam became the father of Achaz. Achaz became the father of Hizkiyahu. 10 Hizkiyahu became the father of Menashsheh. Menashsheh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Yoshiyahu. 11 Yoshiyahu became the father of Yekhonyah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Bavel. 12 After the exile to Bavel, Yekhonyah became the father of She’alti’el. She’alti’el became the father of Zerubbavel. 13 Zerubbavel became the father of Avichud. Avichud became the father of Elyakim. Elyakim became the father of Azur. 14 Azur became the father of Tzadok. Tzadok became the father of Yakhin. Yakhin became the father of Eliud. 15 Eliud became the father of Elazar. Elazar became the father of Mattan. Mattan became the father of Yaakov. 16 Yaakov became the father of Yosef, the husband of Miryam, from whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah. 17  So all the generations from Avraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Bavel fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Bavel to the Messiah, fourteen generations. 18 Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah was like this; because when his mother, Miryam, had been engaged to Yosef, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Ruach HaKodesh. 
19 Yosef, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly. 20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Yosef, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Miryam, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Ruach HaKodesh. 21 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Yeshua, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.” 22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, And shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanu’el;” Which is, being interpreted, “God with us.” 24 Yosef arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself; 25 and didn’t know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Yeshua.

2:1 Now when Yeshua was born in Beit-Lechem of Yehudah in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Yerushalayim, saying, 2 “Where is he who is born King of the Yehudim? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him. 4 Gathering together all the chief Kohanim and Sofrim of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born. 5 They said to him, “In Beit-Lechem of Yehudah, for thus it is written through the prophet, 6 ‘You Beit-Lechem, land of Yehudah, Are in no way least among the princes of Yehudah: For out of you shall come forth a governor, Who shall shepherd my people, Yisra’el.'” 7  Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared. 8 He sent them to Beit-Lechem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.” 9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Miryam, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 Being warned in a dream that they shouldn’t return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

PSALMS: 11, 41, 71, 101, 131

PROVERBS: 11

OLD TESTAMENT: MALACHI 3:1 – 4:6

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 22:1 – 21

PSALMS: 11

1 In the LORD do I take refuge.
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain!” 
2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows.
They set their arrows on the strings,
That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. 
3 If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do? 
4 The LORD is in his holy temple.
The LORD is on his throne in heaven.
His eyes observe.
His eyes examine the children of men. 
5 The LORD examines the righteous,
But the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.
6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals;
Fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. 
7 For the LORD is righteous.
He loves righteousness.
The upright shall see his face.

PSALMS: 41

1 Blessed is he who considers the poor:
The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil. 
2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive,
He shall be blessed on the eretz,
And he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. 
3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed,
And restore him from his bed of illness. 
4 I said, “LORD, have mercy on me.
Heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 
5 My enemies speak evil against me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?” 
6 If he come to see me, he speaks falsehood.
His heart gathers iniquity to itself.
When he goes abroad, he tells it. 
7 All who hate me whisper together against me.
They imagine the worst for me.
8 “An evil disease,” they say, “has afflicted him.
Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.” 
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
Who ate bread with me,
Has lifted up his heel against me.
10 But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them. 
11 By this I know that you delight in me,
Because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me. 
12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity,
And set me in your presence forever. 
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Yisra’el,
From everlasting and to everlasting! Amein and amein.

PSALMS: 71

1 In you, LORD, I take refuge.
Never let me be put to shame. 
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.
Turn your ear to me, and save me. 
3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.
Give the command to save me,
For you are my rock and my fortress. 
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
From the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 
5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD;
My confidence from my youth. 
6 I have relied on you from the womb.
You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb.
I will always praise you. 
7 I am a marvel to many,
But you are my strong refuge. 
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
With your honor all the day. 
9 Don’t reject me in my old age.
Don’t forsake me when my strength fails. 
10 For my enemies talk about me.
Those who watch for my soul conspire together, 
11 Saying, “God has forsaken him.
Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.” 
12 God, don’t be far from me.
My God, hurry to help me. 
13 Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed.
Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. 
14 But I will always hope,
And will add to all of your praise. 
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness,
And of your salvation all day,
Though I don’t know its full measure. 
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD.
I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. 
17 God, you have taught me from my youth.
Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. 
18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-headed,
God, don’t forsake me,
Until I have declared your strength to the next generation,
Your might to everyone who is to come. 
19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens;
You who have done great things.
God, who is like you? 
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,
You will let me live.
You will bring us up again from the depths of the eretz. 
21 Increase my honor, And comfort me again. 
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.
I sing praises to you with the lyre,
Holy One of Yisra’el. 
23 My lips shall shout for joy!
My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! 
24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long,
For they are put to shame, and they are confounded,
who want to harm me.

PSALMS: 101

1 I will sing of loving kindness and justice.
To you, LORD, I will sing praises. 
2 I will be careful to live a blameless life.
When will you come to me?
I will walk within my house with a blameless heart. 
3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes.
I hate the deeds of faithless men.
They will not cling to me. 
4 A perverse heart will be far from me.
I will have nothing to do with evil. 
5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.
I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited. 
6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me.
He who walks in a perfect way, He will serve me.
7 He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house.
He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes. 
8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.

PSALMS: 131

1 LORD, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty;
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Or things too wonderful for me. 
2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother,
Like a weaned child is my soul within me. 
3 Yisra’el, hope in the LORD,
From this time forth and forevermore.

PROVERBS: 11

1 A false balance is an abomination to the LORD,
But accurate weights are his delight. 
2 When pride comes, then comes shame,
But with humility comes wisdom. 
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them,
But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. 
4 Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath,
But righteousness delivers from death. 
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way,
But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires. 
7 When a wicked man dies, hope perishes,
And expectation of power comes to nothing. 
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
And the wicked takes his place.
9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,
But the righteous will be delivered through knowledge. 
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices.
When the wicked perish, there is shouting. 
11 By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 
12 One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom,
But a man of understanding holds his shalom. 
13 One who brings gossip betrays a confidence,
But one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret. 
14 Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls,
But in the multitude of counselors there is victory. 
15 He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it,
But he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure. 
16 A gracious woman obtains honor,
But violent men obtain riches. 
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul,
But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh. 
18 The wicked earns deceitful wages,
But he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. 
19 He who is truly righteous gets life.
He who pursues evil gets death. 
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD,
But those whose ways are blameless are his delight. 
21 Most assuredly, the evil man will not be unpunished,
But the seed of the righteous will be delivered. 
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout,
Is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion. 
23 The desire of the righteous is only good.
The expectation of the wicked is wrath. 
24 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more.
There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. 
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat.
He who waters shall be watered also himself. 
26 He who withholds grain, the people will curse him,
But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. 
27  He who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
But he who searches after evil, it shall come to him. 
28 He who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. 
29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind.
The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. 
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life.
He who is wise wins souls. 
31 Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the eretz;
How much more the wicked and the sinner!

OLD TESTAMENT: MALACHI 3:1 – 4:6

3:1 “Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says the LORD of hosts. 2 “But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderer’s soap; 3 and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to the LORD offerings in righteousness. 4 Then the offering of Yehudah and Yerushalayim will be pleasant to the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years. 5 I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear me,” says the LORD of Hosts. 6 “For I, the LORD, don’t change; therefore you, sons of Ya`akov, are not consumed. 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD of Hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’ 8 Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says the LORD of hosts, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for. 11 I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field,” says the LORD of Hosts. 12 “All nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land,” says the LORD of Hosts. 13 “Your words have been stout against me,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against you?’ 14 You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God;’ and ‘What profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of Hosts? 15 Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’ 16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke one with another; and the LORD listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared the LORD, and who honored his name. 17  They shall be mine,” says the LORD of Hosts, “my own possession in the day that I make, and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him. 18 Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.

4:1 “For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says the LORD of Hosts, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall. 3 You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make,” says the LORD of Hosts. 4 “Remember the law of Moshe my servant, which I commanded to him in Horev for all Yisra’el, even statutes and ordinances. 5 Behold, I will send you Eliyah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the eretz with a curse.”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 22:1 – 21

22:1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, 
2 in the midst of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 
3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him. 
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 
5 There will be no more night, and they need no lamp light, neither sunlight; for the Lord God will give them light. They will reign forever and ever. 
6 He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angels to show to his servants the things which must happen soon.” 
7  “Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” 
8 Now I, Yochanan, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.
9 He said to me, “See you don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 
10 He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 
11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.” 
12 “Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work. 
13 I am the Alef and the Tav, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 
14 Blessed are those who do his mitzvot, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 
16 I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star.” 
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely. 
18 I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. 
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. 
20 He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amein! Come, Lord Yeshua. 
21 The grace of the Lord Yeshua be with all the holy ones. Amein.

PSALMS: 10, 40, 70, 100, 130

PROVERBS: 10

OLD TESTAMENT: MALACHI 1:1 – 2:17

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 21:1 – 27

PSALMS: 10

1 Why do you stand far off, LORD?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? 
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak;
They are caught in the schemes that they devise. 
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings,
He blesses the greedy, and condemns the LORD. 
4 The wicked, in the pride of his face,
Has no room in his thoughts for God. 
5 His ways are prosperous at all times;
He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight:
As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them. 
6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken;
For generations I shall have no trouble.” 
7  His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.
Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. 
8 He lies in wait near the villages.
From ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless.
He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
10 The helpless are crushed, they collapse,
They fall under his strength. 
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten.
He hides his face. He will never see it.” 
12 Arise, LORD! God, lift up your hand!
Don’t forget the helpless. 
13 Why does the wicked condemn God,
And say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account?” 
14 But you do see trouble and grief;
You consider it to take it into your hand.
You help the victim and the fatherless. 
15 Break the arm of the wicked.
As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none. 
16 The LORD is King forever and ever!
The nations will perish out of his land. 
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble.
You will prepare their heart.
You will cause your ear to hear, 
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
That man who is of the eretz may terrify no more.

PSALMS: 40

1 I waited patiently for the LORD.
He turned to me, and heard my cry. 
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand. 
3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust,
And doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 
5 Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,
And your thoughts which are toward us.
They can’t be set in order to you;
If I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered. 
6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.
My ears have you opened:
Burnt offering and sin offering have you not required. 
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come.
It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8 I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart.”
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know. 
10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.
I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly. 
11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me. 
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me.
My iniquities have overtaken me,
so that I am not able to look up.
They are more than the hairs of my head.
My heart has failed me. 
13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, LORD. 
14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together
who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and
brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt. 
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let such as love your salvation say continually,
“Let the LORD be exalted!”
17 But I am poor and needy;
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Don’t delay, my God.

PSALMS: 70

1 Hurry, God, to deliver me.
Come quickly to help me, LORD.
2 Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek my soul.
Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. 
3 Let them be turned because of their shame
Who say, “Aha! Aha!” 
4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your yeshu`ah continually say,
“Let God be exalted!” 
5 But I am poor and needy.
Come to me quickly, God.
You are my help and my deliverer,
LORD, don’t delay.

PSALMS: 100

1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all you lands! 
2 Serve the LORD with gladness.
Come before his presence with singing. 
3 Know that the LORD, he is God.
It is he who has made us, and we are his.
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
Into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, and bless his name. 
5 For the LORD is good.
His loving kindness endures forever,
His faithfulness to all generations.

PSALMS: 130

1 Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD. 
2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions. 
3 If you, the LORD, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand? 
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
Therefore you are feared. 
5 I wait for the LORD.
My soul waits.
I hope in his word. 
6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning;
More than watchmen for the morning. 
7 Yisra’el, hope in the LORD,
For with the LORD there is loving kindness.
With him is abundant redemption. 
8 He will redeem Yisra’el from all their sins.

PROVERBS: 10

1 The proverbs of Shlomo.
A wise son makes a glad father;
But a foolish son brings grief to his mother. 
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
But righteousness delivers from death. 
3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,
But he thrusts away the desire of the wicked. 
4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
But the hand of the diligent brings wealth. 
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son,
But he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame. 
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 
7 The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot. 
8 The wise in heart accept mitzvot,
But a chattering fool will fall.
9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
But he who perverts his ways will be found out. 
10 One winking with the eye causes sorrow,
But a chattering fool will fall. 
11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 
12Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers all wrongs. 
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,
But a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding. 
14 Wise men lay up knowledge,
But the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. 
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city.
The destruction of the poor is their poverty. 
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life.
The increase of the wicked leads to sin. 
17  He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
But he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. 
18 He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool. 
19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
But he who restrains his lips does wisely. 
20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth. 
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
22 The blessing of the LORD brings wealth,
And he adds no trouble to it. 
23 It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness,
But wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure. 
24 What the wicked fear, will overtake them,
But the desire of the righteous will be granted. 
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;
But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. 
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
So is the sluggard to those who send him. 
27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days,
But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 
28 The prospect of the righteous is joy,
But the hope of the wicked will perish. 
29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 
30 The righteous will never be removed,
But the wicked will not dwell in the land. 
31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
But the perverse tongue will be cut off. 
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
But the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

OLD TESTAMENT: MALACHI 1:1 – 2:17

1:1 An oracle: the word of the LORD to Yisra’el by Mal’akhi. 2 “I have loved you,” says the LORD. Yet you say, “How have you loved us?” “Wasn’t Esav Yaakov's brother?" says the LORD, "Yet I loved Yaakov; 3 but Esav I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.” 4 Whereas Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;” thus says the LORD of Hosts, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them ‘The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom the LORD shows wrath forever.” 5 Your eyes will see, and you will say, “The LORD is great — even beyond the border of Yisra’el!” 6 “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? Says the LORD of Hosts to you, Kohanim, who despise my name. You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’ 7 You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ In that you say, ‘The LORD’s table contemptible.’ 8 When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn’t that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, isn’t that evil? Present it now to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?” says the LORD of Hosts. 9 “Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says the LORD of Hosts. 10 “Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you,” says the LORD of hosts, “neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 11 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same my name is be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the nations,” says the LORD of Hosts. 12 “But you profane it, in that you say, ‘The LORD’s table is polluted, and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.’ 13 You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ and you have sniffed at it,” says the LORD of Hosts; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says the LORD. 14 “But the deceiver is cursed, who has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King,” says the LORD of hosts, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”

2:1 “Now, you Kohanim, this mitzvah is for you. 2 If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name,” says the LORD of Hosts, “then will I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart. 3 Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it. 4 You will know that I have sent this mitzvah to you, that my covenant may be with Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts. 5 “My covenant was with him of life and shalom; and I gave them to him who he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name. 6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in shalom and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity. 7 For the Kohen’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of Hosts. 8 But you have turned aside out of the way. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts. 9 “Therefore I have also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law. 10 Don’t we all have one father? Hasn’t one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers? 11 Yehudah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Yisra’el and in Yerushalayim; for Yehudah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god. 12 The LORD will cut off, to the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Ya`akov, and him who offers an offering to the LORD of Hosts. 13 This again you do: you cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn’t regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand. 14 Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant. 15 Did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16 For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Yisra’el, “and him who covers his garment with violence!’ says the LORD of Hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don’t deal treacherously. 17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 21:1 – 27

21:1 I saw a new heaven and a new eretz: for the first heaven and the first eretz have passed away, and the sea is no more. 
2 I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s tent is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. 
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” 
6 He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alef and the Tav, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. 
7  He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 
8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” 
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb’s bride.” 
10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shown me the holy city, Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God, 
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 
12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’el. 
13 On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. 
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. 
16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 
17 He measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass. 
19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, yahalom; 
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst. 
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, Shaddai, and the Lamb, are its temple. 
23 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the eretz bring their glory into it. 
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27  There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

PSALMS: 9, 39, 69, 99, 129

PROVERBS: 9

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 14:1 – 21

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 20:1 – 15

PSALMS: 9

1 I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works. 
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Elyon. 
3 When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish in your presence. 
4 For you have maintained my right and my cause.
You sit on the throne judging righteously. 
5 You have rebuked the nations.
You have destroyed the wicked.
You have blotted out their name forever and ever. 
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin.
The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. 
7 But the LORD reigns forever.
He has prepared his throne for judgment. 
8 He will judge the world in righteousness.
He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. 
9 The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
A high tower in times of trouble. 
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
For you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. 
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Tziyon,
And declare among the people what he has done.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them.
He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted. 
13 Have mercy on me, LORD.
See my affliction by those who hate me,
And lift me up from the gates of death; 
14 That I may show forth all your praise.
In the gates of the daughter of Tziyon I will rejoice in your salvation. 
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken. 
16 The LORD has made himself known.
He has executed judgment.
The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.
Meditation.
Selah. 
17  The wicked shall be turned back to She’ol,
Even all the nations that forget God. 
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the poor perish forever. 
19 Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail.
Let the nations be judged in your sight. 
20 Put them in fear, LORD.
Let the nations know that they are only men.
Selah.

PSALMS: 39

1 I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue.
I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.” 
2 I was mute with silence.
I held my shalom, even from good.
My sorrow was stirred. 
3 My heart was hot within me.
While I meditated, the fire burned:
I spoke with my tongue: 
4 “LORD, make me to know my end,
What is the measure of my days.
Let me know how frail I am. 
5 Behold, you have made my days hand breadths.
My lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely every man stands as a breath.”
Selah. 
6″Surely every man walks like a shadow.
Surely they busy themselves in vain.
He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather. 
7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in you. 
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish. 
9 I was mute, I didn’t open my mouth,
Because you did it. 
10 Remove your scourge away from me.
I am overcome by the blow of your hand. 
11 When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity,
You consume his wealth like a moth.
Surely every man is but a breath.”
Selah. 
12 “Hear my prayer, LORD,
and give ear to my cry.
Don’t be silent at my tears.
For I am a stranger with you,
A sojourner, as all my fathers were. 
13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength,
Before I go away, and be no more.”

PSALMS: 69

1 Save me, God,
For the waters have come up to my neck! 
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold.
I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 
3 I am weary with my crying.
My throat is dry.
My eyes fail, looking for my God. 
4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head.
Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty.
I have to restore what I didn’t take away. 
5 God, you know my foolishness.
My sins aren’t hidden from you. 
6 Don’t let those who wait for you be put to shame through me,
Lord GOD of Hosts.
Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
God of Yisra’el. 
7 Because for your sake, I have borne reproach.
Shame has covered my face. 
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,
An alien to my mother’s children. 
9 For the zeal of your house consumes me.
The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. 
10 When I wept and I fasted,
That was to my reproach. 
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,
I became a byword to them. 
12 Those who sit in the gate talk about me.
I am the song of the drunkards. 
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time.
God, in the abundance of your loving kindness,
answer me in the truth of your salvation. 
14 Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink.
Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me,
Neither let the deep swallow me up.
Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me. 
16 Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good.
According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me. 
17 Don’t hide your face from your servant, For I am in distress.
Answer me speedily! 
18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it.
Ransom me because of my enemies. 
19 You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor.
My adversaries are all before you. 
20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness.
I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;
For comforters, but I found none. 
21 They also gave me gall for my food.
In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table before them become a snare.
May it become a retribution and a trap. 
23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see.
Make their loins continually to shake. 
24 Pour out your indignation on them.
Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate.
Let no one dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have wounded.
They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt. 
27 Charge them with crime upon crime.
Don’t let them come into your righteousness. 
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life,
And not be written with the righteous. 
29 But I am in pain and distress.
Let your yeshu`ah, God, protect me. 
30 I will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify him with thanksgiving. 
31 It will please the LORD better than an ox,
Or a bull that has horns and hoofs. 
32 The humble have seen it, and are glad.
You who seek after God, let your heart live. 
33 For the LORD hears the needy,
And doesn’t despise his captive people. 
34 Let heaven and eretz praise him;
The seas, and everything that moves therein! 
35 For God will save Tziyon, and build the cities of Yehudah.
They shall settle there, and own it. 
36 The children also of his servants shall inherit it.
Those who love his name shall dwell therein.

PSALMS: 99

1 The LORD reigns!
Let the peoples tremble.
He sits enthroned among the Keruvim.
Let the eretz be moved. 
2 The LORD is great in Tziyon.
He is high above all the peoples. 
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name.
He is Holy! 
4 The King’s strength also loves justice.
You do establish equity.
You execute justice and righteousness in Ya`akov. 
5 Exalt the LORD our God.
Worship at his footstool.
He is Holy! 
6 Moshe and Aharon were among his Kohanim,
Shemu’el among those who call on his name;
They called on the LORD, and he answered them. 
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.
They kept his testimonies,
The statute that he gave them. 
8 You answered them, LORD our God.
You are a God who forgave them,
Although you took vengeance for their doings. 
9 Exalt the LORD, our God.
Worship at his holy hill,
For the LORD, our God, is holy!

PSALMS: 129

1 Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up.
Let Yisra’el now say, 
2 Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up,
Yet they have not prevailed against me. 
3 The plowers plowed on my back.
They made their furrows long. 
4 The LORD is righteous.
He has cut apart the cords of the wicked. 
5 Let them be put to shame and turned backward,
All those who hate Tziyon. 
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up; 
7 With which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom. 
8 Neither do those who go by say,
“The blessing of the LORD be on you.
We bless you in the name of the LORD.”

PROVERBS: 9

1 Wisdom has built her house.
She has carved out her seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat.
She has mixed her wine.
She has also set her table. 
3 She has sent out her maidens.
She cries from the highest places of the city: 
4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 
5 “Come, eat some of my bread,
Drink some of the wine which I have mixed! 
6 Leave your simple ways, and live.
Walk in the way of understanding.” 
7 He who corrects a mocker invites insult.
He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse. 
8 Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you.
Reprove a wise man, and he will love you. 
9 Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser.
Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. 
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 
11 For by me your days will be multiplied.
The years of your life will be increased. 
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself.
If you mock, you alone will bear it. 
13 The foolish woman is loud,
Undisciplined, and knows nothing. 
14 She sits at the door of her house,
On a seat in the high places of the city, 
15 To call to those who pass by,
Who go straight on their ways, 
16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”
As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 
17 “Stolen water is sweet.
Food eaten in secret is pleasant.” 
18 But he doesn’t know that the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of She’ol.

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 14:1 – 21

1 Behold, a day of the LORD comes, when your spoil will be divided in your midst. 
2 For I will gather all nations against Yerushalayim to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. 
3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Yerushalayim on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 You shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Atzel; yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziyah king of Yehudah. The LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.

6 It will happen in that day, that there will not be light, cold, or frost.

7 It will be a unique day which is known to the LORD; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light. 8 It will happen in that day, that living waters will go out from Yerushalayim; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter will it be.

9 The LORD will be King over all the eretz. In that day the LORD will be one, and his name one.

10 All the land will be made like the ‘Aravah, from Geva to Rimmon south of Yerushalayim; and she will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Binyamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hanan’el to the king’s wine-presses. 
11 Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Yerushalayim will dwell safely. 
12 This will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have warred against Yerushalayim: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth. 
13 It will happen in that day, that a great panic from the LORD will be among them; and they will lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor. 
14 Yehudah also will fight at Yerushalayim; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance. 
15 So will be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the animals that will be in those camps, as that plague. 
16 It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Yerushalayim will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to keep the feast of booths. 
17 It will be, that whoever of all the families of the eretz doesn’t go up to Yerushalayim to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, on them there will be no rain. 
18 If the family of Mitzrayim doesn’t go up, and doesn’t come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which the LORD will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths. 
19 This will be the punishment of Mitzrayim, and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths. 
20 In that day there will be on the bells of the horses, “HOLY TO THE LORD;” and the pots in the LORD’s house will be like the bowls before the altar. 
21 Yes, every pot in Yerushalayim and in Yehudah will be holy to the LORD of Hosts; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Kana`ani in the house of the LORD of Hosts.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 20:1 – 15

The Thousand Years
1  And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 
2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 
3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. 
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 
5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 
6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
The Judgment of Satan
7  When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 
8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 
9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The Judgment of the Dead
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 
13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 
15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

PROVERBS: 8

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 12:1 – 13:9

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 19:1 – 21

PSALMS: 8

1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the eretz,
Who has set your glory above the heavens! 
2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger. 
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which you have ordained; 
4 What is man, that you think of him?
The son of man, that you care for him? 
5 For you have made him a little lower than God,
And crowned him with glory and honor. 
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet: 
7 All sheep and oxen,
Yes, and the animals of the field, 
8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
And whatever passes through the paths of the seas. 
9 LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is your name in all the eretz!

PSALMS: 38

1 LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath,
Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. 
2 For your arrows have pierced me,
Your hand presses hard on me. 
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation,
Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. 
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head.
As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. 
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,
Because of my foolishness. 
6 I am pained and bowed down greatly.
I go mourning all day long. 
7 For my loins are filled with burning.
There is no soundness in my flesh. 
8 I am faint and severely bruised.
I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart. 
9 Lord, all my desire is before you.
My groaning is not hidden from you. 
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me.
As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me. 
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague.
My kinsmen stand afar off. 
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares.
Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
And meditate deceits all day long. 
13 But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear.
I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth. 
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear,
In whose mouth are no reproofs. 
15 For in you, LORD, do I hope.
You will answer, Lord my God. 
16 For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me,
Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.” 
17  For I am ready to fall.
My pain is continually before me. 
18 For I will declare my iniquity.
I will be sorry for my sin. 
19 But my enemies are vigorous and many.
Those who hate me without reason are numerous. 
20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me,
Because I follow what is good. 
21 Don’t forsake me, LORD.
My God, don’t be far from me.
22 Hurry to help me,
Lord, my salvation.

PSALMS: 68

1 Let God arise!
Let his enemies be scattered!
Let them who hate him also flee before him. 
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away.
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 
3 But let the righteous be glad.
Let them rejoice before God.
Yes, let them rejoice with gladness. 
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!
Extol him who rides on the clouds — To the LORD, his name!
Rejoice before him. 
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows,
Is God in his holy habitation.
6 God sets the lonely in families.
He brings out the prisoners with singing,
But the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land. 
7 God, when you went forth before your people,
When you marched through the wilderness…
Selah. 
8 The eretz trembled.
The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai —
At the presence of God, the God of Yisra’el. 
9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain.
You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary. 
10 Your congregation lived therein.
You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor. 
11 The Lord announced the word.
The ones who proclaim it are a great company. 
12 “Kings of armies flee! They flee!”
She who waits at home divides the spoil, 
13 While you sleep among the campfires,
The wings of a dove sheathed with silver,
Her feathers with shining gold. 
14 When Shaddai scattered kings in her,
It snowed on Tzalmon. 
15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains.
The mountains of Bashan are rugged. 
16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains,
At the mountain where God chooses to reign?
Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever. 
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands.
The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary. 
18 You have ascended on high.
You have led away captives.
You have received gifts among men,
Yes, among the rebellious also,
that the LORD God might dwell there. 
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,
Even the God who is our salvation. Selah. 
20 God is to us a God of deliverance.
To the LORD, the Lord,
belongs escape from death. 
21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies,
The hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness. 
22 The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan,
I will bring you again from the depths of the sea; 
23 That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood,
That the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.” 
24 They have seen your goings, God,
Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. 
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after,
In the midst of the ladies playing with timbrels, 
26″Bless God in the congregations,
Even the Lord in the assembly of Yisra’el!” 
27 There is little Binyamin, their ruler,
The princes of Yehudah, their council,
The princes of Zevulun, and the princes of Naftali. 
28 Your God has commanded your strength.
Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us. 
29 Because of your temple at Yerushalayim,
Kings shall bring presents to you. 
30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds,
The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples.
Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver.
Scatter the nations that delight in war. 
31 Princes shall come out of Mitzrayim.
Kush shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God. 
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the eretz!
Sing praises to the Lord!
Selah. 
33 To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old;
Behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice. 
34 Ascribe strength to God!
His excellency is over Yisra’el,
His strength is in the skies. 
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries.
The God of Yisra’el gives strength and power to his people.
Praise be to God!

PSALMS: 98

1 Sing to the LORD a new song,
For he has done marvelous things!
His right hand, and his holy arm,
have worked salvation for him. 
2 The LORD has made known his yeshuah. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.  3 He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Yisra'el. All the ends of the eretz have seen the yeshuah of our God. 
4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the eretz!
Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises! 
5 Sing praises to the LORD with the harp,
With the harp and the voice of melody. 
6 With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn.
Make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD. 
7  Let the sea roar with its fullness;
The world, and those who dwell therein. 
8 Let the rivers clap their hands.
Let the mountains sing for joy together. 
9 Let them sing before the LORD,
For he comes to judge the eretz.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with equity.

PSALMS: 128

1 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
Who walks in his ways. 
2 For you will eat the labor of your hands.
You will be happy, and it will be well with you. 
3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of your house;
Your children like olive plants, Around your table. 
4 Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD. 
5 May the LORD bless you out of Tziyon,
And may you see the good of Yerushalayim all the days of your life. 
6 Yes, may you see your children’s children.
Shalom be upon Yisra’el.

PROVERBS: 8

1 Doesn’t wisdom cry out?
Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
2 On the top of high places by the way,
Where the paths meet, she stands. 
3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the entry doors, she cries aloud: 
4 “To you men, I call!
I send my voice to the sons of mankind. 
5 You simple, understand prudence.
You fools, be of an understanding heart. 
6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things.
The opening of my lips is for right things. 
7 For my mouth speaks truth.
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness.
There is nothing crooked or perverse in them. 
9 They are all plain to him who understands,
Right to those who find knowledge. 
10 Receive my instruction rather than silver;
Knowledge rather than choice gold. 
11 For wisdom is better than rubies.
All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it. 
12 “I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling.
Find out knowledge and discretion. 
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil.
I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. 
14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine.
I have understanding and power. 
15 By me kings reign,
And princes decree justice. 
16 By me princes rule; Nobles,
and all the righteous rulers of the eretz. 
17 I love those who love me.
Those who seek me diligently will find me. 
18 With me are riches, honor,
Enduring wealth, and prosperity. 
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold;
My yield than choice silver. 
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice; 
21 That I may give wealth to those who love me.
I fill their treasuries.
22 “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work,
Before his deeds of old. 
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
Before the eretz existed. 
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth,
When there were no springs abounding with water. 
25 Before the mountains were settled in place,
Before the hills, I was brought forth; 
26 While as yet he had not made the eretz, nor the fields,
Nor the beginning of the dust of the world. 
27  When he established the heavens, I was there;
When he set a circle on the surface of the deep, 
28 When he established the clouds above,
When the springs of the deep became strong, 
29 When he gave to the sea its boundary,
That the waters should not violate his mitzvah,
When he marked out the foundations of the eretz; 
30 Then I was the craftsman by his side.
I was a delight day by day,
Always rejoicing before him, 
31 Rejoicing in his whole world.
My delight was with the sons of men. 
32 “Now therefore, my sons, listen to me,
For blessed are those who keep my ways. 
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, Don’t refuse it. 
34 Blessed is the man who hears me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my door posts. 
35 For whoever finds me, finds life,
And will obtain favor from the LORD. 
36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul.
All those who hate me love death.”

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 12:1 – 13:9

12:1 An oracle. The word of the LORD concerning Yisra’el. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the eretz, and forms the spirit of man within him says: 2 “Behold, I will make Yerushalayim a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Yehudah also will it be in the siege against Yerushalayim. 3 It will happen in that day, that I will make Yerushalayim a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the eretz will be gathered together against it. 4 In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Yehudah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 The chieftains of Yehudah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Yerushalayim are my strength in the LORD of Hosts their God.’ 6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Yehudah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Yerushalayim will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Yerushalayim. 7  The LORD also will save the tents of Yehudah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Yerushalayim not be magnified above Yehudah. 8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD before them. 9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Yerushalayim. 10 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn. 11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Yerushalayim, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Natan apart, and their wives apart; 13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shim`i apart, and their wives apart; 14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

13:1 “In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, for sin and for uncleanness. 2 It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land. 3 It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in the name of the LORD;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies. 4 It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive: 5 but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’ 6 One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’ 7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, And against the man who is close to me,” says the LORD of Hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; And I will turn my hand against the little ones. 8 It shall happen that in all the land,” says the LORD, Two parts in it will be cut off and die; But the third will be left in it. 9 I will bring the third part into the fire, And will refine them as silver is refined, And will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 19:1 – 21

19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Halleluyah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God: 
2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, her who corrupted the eretz with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.” 
3 A second time they said, “Halleluyah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever.” 
4 The twenty-four Zakenim and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, “Amein! Halleluyah!” 
5 A voice came forth from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!” 
6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Halleluyah! For the Lord our God, Shaddai, reigns! 
7  Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.” 
8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy ones. 
9 He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'” He said to me, “These are true words of God.” 
10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Yeshua. Worship God, for the testimony of Yeshua is the Spirit of Prophecy.” 
11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. 
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself. 
13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.” 
14 The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen. 
15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, two-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, Shaddai. 
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
17  I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God, 
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great.” 
19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the eretz, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army. 
20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. They two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 
21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.

PROVERBS: 7

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 10:1 – 11:17

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 18:1 – 24

PSALMS: 7

1 LORD, my God, I take refuge in you.
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me, 
2 Lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,
Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 
3 LORD, my God, if I have done this,
If there is iniquity in my hands, 
4 If I have rewarded evil to him who was at shalom with me
(Yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary), 
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
Yes, let him tread my life down to the eretz,
And lay my glory in the dust. Selah. 
6 Arise, LORD, in your anger.
Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.
Awake for me. You have commanded judgment. 
7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.
Rule over them on high. 
8 The LORD administers judgment to the peoples.
Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness,
And to my integrity that is in me. 
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the righteous;
Their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God. 
10 My shield is with God,
Who saves the upright in heart. 
11 God is a righteous judge,
Yes, a God who has indignation every day. 
12 If a man doesn’t relent, he will sharpen his sword;
He has bent and strung his bow. 
13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.
He makes ready his flaming arrows. 
14 Behold, he travails with iniquity;
Yes, he has conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood. 
15 He has dug a hole,
And has fallen into the pit which he made. 
16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.
His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head. 
17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Elyon.

PSALMS: 37

1 Don’t fret because of evil-doers,
Neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. 
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither like the green herb. 
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. 
4 Also delight yourself in the LORD,
And he will give you the desires of your heart. 
5 Commit your way to the LORD.
Trust also in him, and he will do this: 
6 He will make your righteousness go forth as the light,
And your justice as the noon day sun. 
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. 
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing. 
9 For evildoers shall be cut off,
But those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land. 
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there. 
11 But the humble shall inherit the land,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of shalom. 
12 The wicked plots against the just,
And gnashes at him with his teeth. 
13 The Lord will laugh at him,
For he sees that his day is coming. 
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword,
and have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To kill those who are upright in the way. 
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart.
Their bows shall be broken. 
16 Better is a little that the righteous has,
Than the abundance of many wicked. 
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the LORD upholds the righteous. 
18 The LORD knows the days of the perfect.
Their inheritance shall be forever. 
19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil.
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 
20 But the wicked shall perish.
The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields.
They will vanish — Vanish like smoke. 
21 The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
But the righteous give generously.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.
Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off. 
23 A man’s goings are established by the LORD.
He delights in his way. 
24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall,
For the LORD holds him up with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his children begging for bread. 
26 All day long he deals graciously, and lends.
His seed is blessed. 
27 Depart from evil, and do good;
Live securely forever. 
28 For the LORD loves justice,
And doesn’t forsake his holy ones.
They are preserved forever,
But the children of the wicked shall be cut off. 
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
And live in it forever. 
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.
His tongue speaks justice. 
31 The law of his God is in his heart.
None of his steps shall slide. 
32 The wicked watches the righteous,
And seeks to kill him. 
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait for the LORD, and keep his way,
And he will exalt you to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. 
35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
Spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil. 
36 But he passed away, and, behold, he was not.
Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found. 
37 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,
For there is a future for the man of shalom. 
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.
The future of the wicked shall be cut off. 
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD.
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. 
40 The LORD helps them, and rescues them.
He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them,
Because they have taken refuge in him.

PSALMS: 67

1 May God be merciful to us, bless us,
And cause his face to shine on us. Selah. 
2 That your way may be known on eretz,
And your yeshu`ah among all nations, 
3 Let the peoples praise you, God.
Let all the peoples praise you. 
4 Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
For you will judge the peoples with equity,
And govern the nations on eretz.
Selah. 
5 Let the peoples praise you, God.
Let all the peoples praise you. 
6 The eretz has yielded its increase.
God, even our own God, will bless us. 
7 God will bless us.
All the ends of the eretz shall fear him.

PSALMS: 97

1 The LORD reigns!
Let the eretz rejoice.
Let the multitude of islands be glad. 
2 Clouds and darkness are around him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 
3 A fire goes before him,
And burns up his adversaries on every side. 
4 His lightning lights up the world;
The eretz sees, and trembles. 
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole eretz. 
6 The heavens declare his righteousness.
All the peoples have seen his glory. 
7 Let all them be put to shame who serve engraved images,
Who boast in their idols.
Worship him, all you gods! 
8 Tziyon heard and was glad.
The daughters of Yehudah rejoiced,
Because of your judgments, LORD.
9 For you, LORD, are most high above all the eretz.
You are exalted far above all gods. 
10 You who love the LORD, hate evil.
He preserves the souls of his holy ones.
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. 
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart. 
12 Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people!
Give thanks to his holy Name.

PSALMS: 127

1 Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
The watchman guards it in vain. 
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To stay up late, Eating the bread of toil;
For he gives sleep to his loved ones. 
3 Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD.
The fruit of the womb is his reward. 
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
So are the children of youth. 
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.
They won’t be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

PROVERBS: 7

1 My son, keep my words.
Lay up my mitzvot within you. 
2 Keep my mitzvot and live;
Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye. 
3 Bind them on your fingers.
Write them on the tablet of your heart. 
4 Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.”
Call understanding your relative, 
5 That they may keep you from the strange woman,
From the foreigner who flatters with her words. 
6 For at the window of my house,
I looked forth through my lattice. 
7 I saw among the simple ones.
I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding, 
8Passing through the street near her corner,
He went the way to her house, 
9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day,
In the middle of the night and in the darkness. 
10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute,
And with crafty intent. 
11 She is loud and defiant.
Her feet don’t stay in her house. 
12 Now she is in the streets, now in the squares,
And lurking at every corner. 
13 So she caught him, and kissed him.
With an impudent face she said to him:
14 “Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me.
This day I have paid my vows. 
15 Therefore I came out to meet you,
To diligently seek your face, And I have found you. 
16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry,
With striped cloths of the yarn of Mitzrayim. 
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,
aloes, and cinnamon. 
18 Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning.
Let’s solace ourselves with loving. 
19 For my husband isn’t at home.
He has gone on a long journey. 
20 He has taken a bag of money with him.
He will come home at the full moon.” 
21 With persuasive words, she led him astray.
With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him. 
22 He followed her immediately,
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
As a fool stepping into a noose. 
23 Until an arrow strikes through his liver,
As a bird hurries to the snare,
And doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me.
Pay attention to the words of my mouth. 
25 Don’t let your heart turn to her ways.
Don’t go astray in her paths, 
26 For she has thrown down many wounded.
Yes, all her slain are a mighty host. 
27 Her house is the way to She’ol,
Going down to the chambers of death.

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 10:1 – 11:17

10:1 Ask of the LORD rain in the spring time, The LORD who makes storm clouds, And he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field. 2 For the terafim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; And they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd. 3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds, And I will punish the male goats; For the LORD of Hosts has visited his flock, the house of Yehudah, And will make them as his horse in the battle that he is proud of. 4 From him will come forth the corner-stone, From him the nail, From him the battle bow, From him every ruler together. 5 They shall be as mighty men, Treading down muddy streets in the battle; And they shall fight, because the LORD is with them; And the riders on horses will be confounded. 6 “I will strengthen the house of Yehudah, And I will save the house of Yosef, And I will bring them back; For I have mercy on them; And they will be as though I had not cast them off: For I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them. 7 Efrayim will be like a mighty man, And their heart will rejoice as through wine; Yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in the LORD. 8 I will signal for them, and gather them; For I have redeemed them; And they will increase as they have increased. 9 I will sow them among the peoples; And they will remember me in far countries; And they will live with their children, and will return. 10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Mitzrayim, And gather them out of Ashshur; And I will bring them into the land of Gil`ad and Levanon; And there won’t be room enough for them. 11 He will pass through the sea of affliction, And will strike the waves in the sea, And all the depths of the Nile will dry up; And the pride of Ashshur will be brought down, And the scepter of Mitzrayim will depart. 12 I will strengthen them in the LORD; And they will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.

11:1 Open your doors, Levanon, That the fire may devour your cedars. 2 Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, Because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, For the strong forest has come down. 3 A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Yarden is ruined. 4 Thus says the LORD my God: “Feed the flock of slaughter. 5 Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them. 6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”7 So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor,” and the other I called “Union,” and I fed the flock. 8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me. 9 Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.” 10 I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples. 11 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of the LORD. 12 I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. 13 The LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of the LORD. 14 Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Yehudah and Yisra’el. 15 The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces. 17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 18:1 – 24

18:1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The eretz was illuminated with his glory.
2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Bavel the great, and has become a habitation of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird! 
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the eretz committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the eretz grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.” 
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come forth, my people, out of her, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues, 
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities. 
6 Return to her just as she returned, and double to her the double according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. 
7  However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’ 
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong. 
9 The kings of the eretz, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning, 
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Bavel, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’ 
11 The merchants of the eretz weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more; 
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; 
13 and cinnamon, spices, incense, ointment, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, and sheep; and merchandise of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men. 
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all. 
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning; 
16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls! 
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away, 
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’ 
19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For in one hour is she made desolate. 
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, you holy ones, you apostles, and you prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.” 
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Bavel, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 The voice of harpers and minstrels and flute players and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you. 
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the eretz; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones, and of all who have been slain on the eretz.”

PSALMS: 6, 36, 66, 96, 126

PROVERBS: 6

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 9:1 – 17

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 17:1 – 18

PSALMS: 6

1 For the leader.
With stringed instruments.
On sh’minit [low-pitched musical instruments?].
A psalm of David:
ADONAI, don’t rebuke me in your anger,
don’t discipline me in the heat of your fury. 
2 Be gracious to me, ADONAI,
because I am withering away;
heal me, ADONAI, because my bones are shaking; 
3 I am completely terrified;
and you, ADONAI – how long? 
4 Come back, ADONAI, and rescue me!
Save me for the sake of your grace; 
5 for in death, no one remembers you;
in Sh’ol, who will praise you? 
6 I am worn out with groaning;
all night I drench my bed with tears,
flooding my couch till it swims. 
7 My vision is darkened with anger;
it grows weak because of all my foes. 
8 Get away from me, all you workers of evil!
For ADONAI has heard the sound of my weeping, 
9 ADONAI has heard my pleading,
ADONAI will accept my prayer. 
10 All my enemies will be confounded, completely terrified;
they will turn back and be suddenly put to shame.

PSALMS: 36

1 For the leader.
By David, the servant of ADONAI:
Crime speaks to the wicked.
I perceive this in my heart;
before his eyes there is no fear of God. 
2 For, the way he sees it, crime makes his life easy that is,
until his wrongs are discovered;
then, he is hated. 
3 His words are wrong and deceitful;
he has stopped being wise and doing good. 
4 He devises trouble as he lies in bed;
so set is he on his own bad way that he doesn’t hate evil. 
5 ADONAI, in the heavens is your grace;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments are like the great deep.
You save man and beast, ADONAI. 
7 How precious, God, is your grace!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings, 
8 they feast on the rich bounty of your house,
and you have them drink from the stream of your delights. 
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light. 
10 Continue your grace to those who know you
and your righteousness to the upright in heart. 
11 Don’t let the foot of the proud tread on me
or the hands of the wicked drive me away. 
12 There they lie fallen, those evildoers,
flung down and unable to rise.

PSALMS: 66

1 For the leader.
A song.
A psalm:
Shout to God, all the earth! 
2 Sing the glory of his name,
make his praise glorious. 
3 Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds!
At your great power, your enemies cringe. 
4 All the earth bows down to you, sings praises to you,
sings praises to your name.”
(Selah) 
5 Come and see what God has done,
his awesome dealings with humankind. 
6 He turned the sea into dry land.
They passed through the river on foot;
there we rejoiced in him.
7  With his power he rules forever;
his eyes keep watch on the nations.
Let no rebel arise to challenge him. 
8 Bless our God, you peoples!
Let the sound of his praise be heard! 
9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from stumbling.
(Selah) 
10 For you, God, have tested us,
refined us as silver is refined. 
11 You brought us into the net
and bound our bodies fast. 
12 You made men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water.
But you brought us out to a place of plenty. 
13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings,
I will fulfill my vows to you, 
14 those my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke
when I was in distress. 
15 I will offer you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
along with the sweet smoke of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah) 
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me. 
17 I cried out to him with my mouth,
his praise was on my tongue. 
18 Had I cherished evil thoughts,
Adonai would not have listened. 
19 But in fact, God did listen;
he paid attention to my prayer. 
20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer
or turn his grace away from me.

PSALMS: 96

1 Sing to ADONAI a new song!
Sing to ADONAI, all the earth! 
2 Sing to ADONAI, bless his name!
Proclaim his victory day after day!
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his wonders among all peoples! 
4 For ADONAI is great, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared more than all gods. 
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but ADONAI made the heavens. 
6 In his presence are honor and majesty;
in his sanctuary, strength and splendor. 
7 Give ADONAI his due, you families from the peoples;
give ADONAI his due of glory and strength; 
8 give ADONAI the glory due to his name;
bring an offering, and enter his courtyards. 
9 Worship ADONAI in holy splendor;
tremble before him, all the earth! 
10 Say among the nations, “ADONAI is king!
“The world is firmly established, immovable.
He will judge the peoples fairly. 
11 Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad;
let the sea roar, and everything in it; 
12 let the fields exult and all that is in them.
Then all the trees in the forest will sing
13 before ADONAI, because he has come, he has come to judge the earth;
he will judge the world rightly and the peoples with his faithfulness.

PSALMS: 126

1 When the LORD brought back those who returned to Tziyon,
We were like those who dream. 
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then said they among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.” 
3 The LORD has done great things for us,
And we are glad. 
4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD,
Like the streams in the Negev. 
5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,
Will assuredly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

PROVERBS: 6

1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor,
If you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger; 
2 You are trapped by the words of your mouth.
You are ensnared with the words of your mouth. 
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself,
Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor.
Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. 
4 Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids. 
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
Like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard.
Consider her ways, and be wise; 
7  Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler, 
8 Provides her bread in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest. 
9 How long will you sleep, sluggard?
When will you arise out of your sleep? 
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep: 
11 So your poverty will come as a robber,
And your scarcity as an armed man. 
12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity,
Is he who walks with a perverse mouth; 
13 Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,
Who motions with his fingers; 
14 In whose heart is perverseness,
Who devises evil continually,
Who always sows discord. 
15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly.
He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 
16 There are six things which the LORD hates;
Yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood;
18 A heart that devises wicked schemes,
Feet that are swift in running to mischief, 
19 A false witness who utters lies,
And he who sows discord among brothers. 
20 My son, keep your father’s mitzvah,
And don’t forsake your mother’s teaching. 
21 Bind them continually on your heart.
Tie them around your neck. 
22 When you walk, it will lead you.
When you sleep, it will watch over you.
When you awake, it will talk with you. 
23 For the mitzvah is a lamp,
And the law is light.
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 
24 To keep you from the immoral woman,
From the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue. 
25 Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart,
Neither let her captivate you with her eyelids. 
26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread.
The adulteress hunts for your precious life. 
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap,
And his clothes not be burned?
28 Or can one walk on hot coals,
And his feet not be scorched?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife.
Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 
30 Men don’t despise a thief,
If he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry: 
31 But if he be found, he shall restore seven times.
He shall give all the wealth of his house. 
32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding.
He who does it destroys his own soul. 
33 He will get wounds and dishonor.
His reproach will not be wiped away. 
34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband.
He won’t spare in the day of vengeance. 
35 He won’t regard any ransom,
Neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 9:1 – 17

9:1 An oracle. The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrakh, And will rest upon Dammesek; For the eye of man And of all the tribes of Yisra’el is toward the LORD; 
2 And Hamat, also, which borders on it; Tzor and Tzidon, because they are very wise. 
3 Tzor built herself a stronghold, And heaped up silver like the dust, And fine gold like the mire of the streets. 
4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, And he will strike her power in the sea; And she will be devoured with fire. 
5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Aza also, and will writhe in agony; As will ‘Ekron, for her expectation will be put to shame; And the king will perish from Aza, And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

6 Foriegners will dwell in Ashdod, And I will cut off the pride of the Pelishtim.

7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth, And his abominations from between his teeth; And he also will be a remnant for our God; And he will be as a chieftain in Yehudah, And ‘Ekron as a Yevusi. 
8 I will encamp around my house against the army, That none pass through or return; And no oppressor will pass through them any more: For now I have seen with my eyes. 
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Tziyon! Shout, daughter of Yerushalayim! Behold, your king comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; Lowly, and riding on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 
10 I will cut off the chariot from Efrayim, And the horse from Yerushalayim; And the battle bow will be cut off; And he will speak shalom to the nations: And his dominion will be from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the eretz. 
11 As for you also, Because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water. 
12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. 
13 For indeed I bend Yehudah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Efrayim; And I will stir up your sons, Tziyon, Against your sons, Greece, And will make you like the sword of a mighty man. 
14 The LORD will be seen over them; And his arrow will go flash like lightning; And the Lord GOD will blow the shofar, And will go with whirlwinds of the south. 
15 The LORD of Hosts will defend them; And they will destroy and overcome with sling-stones; And they will drink, and roar as through wine; And they will be filled like bowls, Like the corners of the altar. 
16 The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; For they are like the jewels of a crown, Lifted on high over his land.
17 For how great is his goodness, And how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, And new wine the virgins.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 17:1 – 18

17:1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, 
2 with whom the kings of the eretz committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the eretz were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.” 
3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her sexual immorality, 
5 and on her forehead a name written, “MYSTERY, BAVEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE ERETZ.” 
6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the holy ones, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement. 
7  The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the eretz will wonder, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast, how that he was, and is not, and will come. 
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while. 
11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction. 
12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. 
13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 
14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful.” 
15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. 
16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire. 
17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to come to unity of mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. 
18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the eretz.”

PSALMS: 5

PROVERBS: 5, 35, 65, 95, 125

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 8:1 – 23

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 16:1 – 21

PSALMS: 5

1 For the leader.
On wind instruments.
A psalm of David:
Give ear to my words,
ADONAI, consider my inmost thoughts. 
2 Listen to my cry for help,
my king and my God, for I pray to you. 
3 ADONAI, in the morning you will hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my needs before you and wait expectantly. 
4 For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
evil cannot remain with you. 
5 Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes,
you hate all who do evil, 
6 you destroy those who tell lies,
ADONAI detests men of blood and deceivers. 
7 But I can enter your house because of your great grace and love;
I will bow down toward your holy temple in reverence for you. 
8 Lead me, ADONAI, in your righteousness
because of those lying in wait for me;
make your way straight before me. 
9 For in their mouths there is nothing sincere,
within them are calamities, their throats are open tombs,
they flatter with their tongues. 
10 God, declare them guilty!
Let them fall through their own intrigues,
For their many crimes, throw them down;
since they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them forever shout for joy!
Shelter them;
and they will be glad,
those who love your name.
12 For you, ADONAI, bless the righteous;
you surround them with favor like a shield.

PSALMS: 35

1 By David: ADONAI, oppose those who oppose me;
fight against those who fight against me. 
2 Grasp your shield and protective gear,
and rise to my defense. 
3 Brandish spear and battle-axe against my pursuers;
let me hear you say, “I am your salvation.” 
4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to confusion;
may those who are plotting harm for me be repulsed and put to shame. 
5 May they be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of ADONAI to drive them on. 
6 May their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of ADONAI to pursue them. 
7 For unprovoked, they hid their net over a pit;
unprovoked, they dug it for me. 
8 May destruction come over him unawares.
May the net he concealed catch himself;
may he fall into it and be destroyed. 
9 Then I will be joyful in ADONAI,
I will rejoice in his salvation. 
10 All my bones will say, “Who is like you?
Who can rescue the weak from those stronger than they,
the poor and needy from those who exploit them?” 
11 Malicious witnesses come forward,
asking me things about which I know nothing. 
12 They repay me evil for good;
it makes me feel desolate as a parent bereaved. 
13 But I, when they were ill, wore sackcloth;
I put myself out and fasted;
I can pray that what I prayed for them might also happen to me. 
14 I behaved as I would for my friend or my brother;
I bent down in sorrow as if mourning my mother. 
15 But when I stumble, they gather in glee;
they gather against me and strike me unawares;
they tear me apart unceasingly. 
16 With ungodly mocking and grimacing,
they grind their teeth at me. 
17 Adonai, how much longer will you look on?
Rescue me from their assaults, save the one life I have from the lions! 
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly,
I will give you praise among huge crowds of people.
19 Don’t let those who are wrongfully my enemies gloat over me;
and those who hate me unprovoked -don’t let them smirk at me. 
20 For they don’t speak words of peace but devise ways
to deceive the peaceful of the land. 
21 They shout to accuse me,
“Aha! Aha! we saw you with our own eyes!” 
22 You saw them, ADONAI;
don’t stay silent.
Adonai, don’t stay far away from me. 
23 Wake up! Get up, my God, my Lord!
Defend me and my cause! 
24 Give judgment for me, ADONAI, my God,
as your righteousness demands.
Don’t let them gloat over me. 
25 Don’t let them say to themselves,
“Aha! We got what we wanted!”
or say, “We swallowed them up!” 
26 May those who gloat over my distress be disgraced and humiliated.
May those who aggrandize themselves at my expense be covered
with shame and confusion. 
27  But may those who delight in my righteousness
shout for joy and be glad!
Let them say always, “How great is ADONAI,
who delights in the peace of his servant!
“Then my tongue will tell of your righteousness
and praise you all day long.

PSALMS: 65

1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
A song: To you, God, in Tziyon, silence is praise;
and vows to you are to be fulfilled. 
2 You who listen to prayer,
to you all living creatures come. 
3 When deeds of wickedness overwhelm me,
you will atone for our crimes. 
4 How blessed are those you choose and bring near,
so that they can remain in your courtyards!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
the Holy Place of your temple. 
5 It is just that you answer us with awesome deeds,
God of our salvation, you in whom all put their trust,
to the ends of the earth and on distant seas. 
6 By your strength you set up the mountains.
You are clothed with power. 
7 You still the roaring of the seas,
their crashing waves, and the peoples’ turmoil. 
8 This is why those living at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your signs.
The places where the sun rises and sets you cause to sing for joy. 
9 You care for the earth and water it, you enrich it greatly;
with the river of God, full of water,
you provide them grain and prepare the ground. 
10 Soaking its furrows and settling its soil,
you soften it with showers and bless its growth. 
11 You crown the year with your goodness,
your tracks overflow with richness. 
12The desert pastures drip water,
the hills are wrapped with joy, 
13 the meadows are clothed with flocks and the valleys blanketed with grain,
so they shout for joy and break into song.

PSALMS: 95

1 Come, let’s sing to ADONAI!
Let’s shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation! 
2 Let’s come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let’s shout for joy to him with songs of praise. 
3 For ADONAI is a great God,
a great king greater than all gods. 
4 He holds the depths of the earth in his hands;
the mountain peaks too belong to him. 
5 The sea is his – he made it -and
his hands shaped the dry land. 
6 Come, let’s bow down and worship;
let’s kneel before ADONAI who made us. 
7 For he is our God, and we are the people in his pasture, the sheep in his care.
If only today you would listen to his voice: 
8 “Don’t harden your hearts, as you did at M’rivah,
as you did on that day at Massah in the desert, 
9 when your fathers put me to the test;
they challenged me, even though they saw my work. 
10 For forty years I loathed that generation;
I said, ‘This is a people whose hearts go astray,
they don’t understand how I do things.’ 
11 Therefore I swore in my anger
that they would not enter my rest.”

PSALMS: 125

1 A song of ascents:
Those who trust in ADONAI are like Mount Tziyon,
which cannot be moved but remains forever. 
2 Yerushalayim!
Mountains all around it!
Thus ADONAI is around his people henceforth and forever. 
3 For the scepter of wickedness will not rule the inheritance of the righteous,
so that the righteous will not themselves turn their hands to evil. 
4 Do good, ADONAI, to the good, to those upright in their hearts. 
5 But as for those who turn aside to their own crooked ways,
may ADONAI turn them away, along with those who do evil.
Shalom on Isra’el!

PROVERBS: 5

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
incline your ear to my understanding; 
2 so that you will preserve discretion
and your lips keep watch over knowledge. 
3 For the lips of a woman who is a stranger drop honey,
her mouth is smoother than oil; 
4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death, her steps lead straight to Sh’ol; 
6she doesn’t walk the level path of life -her course wanders all over,
but she doesn’t know it. 
7 So now, children, listen to me;
don’t turn away from what I am saying: 
8 distance your way from her,
stay far from the door of her house; 
9 so that you won’t give your vigor to others
and your years to someone who is cruel, 
10 so strangers won’t be filled with your strength
and what you worked for go to a foreign house. 
11 Then, when your flesh and bones have shrunk,
at the end of your life, you would moan, 
12 “How I hated discipline!
My whole being despised reproof, 
13 I ignored what my teachers said,
I didn’t listen to my instructors. 
14 I took part in almost every kind of evil,
and the whole community knew it.” 
15 Drink the water from your own cistern,
fresh water from your own well. 
16 Let what your springs produce be dispersed outside,
streams of water flowing in the streets; 
17 but let them be for you alone
and not for strangers with you. 
18 Let your fountain, the wife of your youth, be blessed;
find joy in her 
19 a lovely deer, a graceful fawn;
let her breasts satisfy you at all times,
always be infatuated with her love. 
20 My son, why be infatuated with an unknown woman?
Why embrace the body of a loose woman? 
21 For ADONAI is watching a man’s ways;
he surveys all his paths. 
22 A wicked person’s own crimes will trap him,
he will be held fast by the ropes of his sin. 
23 He will die from lack of discipline;
the magnitude of his folly will make him totter and fall.

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 8:1 – 23

8:1 The word of the LORD of Hosts came to me. 
2 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “I am jealous for Tziyon with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.” 
3 Thus says the LORD: “I have returned to Tziyon, and will dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim. Yerushalayim shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of the LORD of Hosts, ‘The Holy Mountain.'” 
4 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Yerushalayim, every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 
5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.” 
6 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says the LORD of Hosts. 
7  Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; 
8 and I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.” 
9 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of Hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built. 
10 For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any shalom to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor. 
11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says the LORD of Hosts. 
12 “For the seed of shalom and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things. 
13 It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Yehudah and house of Yisra’el, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.” 
14 For thus says the LORD of hosts: “As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and I didn’t repent; 
15 so again have I thought in these days to do good to Yerushalayim and to the house of Yehudah. Don’t be afraid. 
16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and shalom in your gates, 
17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,” says the LORD. 
18 The word of the LORD of Hosts came to me. 
19 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “The fasts of the fourth fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Yehudah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and shalom.” 
20 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “Many peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come; 
21 and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of Hosts. I will go also.’ 
22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Yerushalayim, and to entreat the favor of the LORD.” 
23 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Yehudi, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 16:1 – 21

16:1 I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the eretz!”
2 The first went, and poured out his bowl into the eretz, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image. 
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died. 
4 The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and it became blood. 
5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way. 
6 For they poured out the blood of the holy ones and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.” 
7  I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, Shaddai, true and righteous are your judgments.” 
8 The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire. 
9 Men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn’t repent and give him glory. 
10 The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain, 
11and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They didn’t repent of their works. 
12 The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Perat. Its water was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrise. 
13 I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs; 
14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, Shaddai. 
15 “Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.” 
16 He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, “Har-Megiddo.” 
17  The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came forth out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 
18 There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the eretz, so great an earthquake, so mighty. 
19 The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Bavel the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 
20 Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 
21 Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on men. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague of it is exceeding great.

PSALMS:  4, 34, 64, 94, 124

PROVERBS:  4

OLD TESTAMENT:  ZECHARIAH 6:1 – 7:14

NEW TESTAMENT:  REVELATIONS 15:1 – 8

PSALMS: 4

1 For the leader.
With stringed instruments.
A psalm of David:
O God, my vindicator!
Answer me when I call!
When I was distressed, you set me free;
now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. 
2 Men of rank, how long will you shame my honor,
love what is vain, chase after lies?
(Selah) 
3 Understand that ADONAI sets apart the godly person for himself;
ADONAI will hear when I call to him. 
4 You can be angry, but do not sin!
Think about this as you lie in bed, and calm down.
(Selah) 
5 Offer sacrifices rightly,
and put your trust in ADONAI. 
6 Many ask, “Who can show us some good?”
ADONAI, lift the light of your face over us! 
7 You have filled my heart with more joy
than all their grain and new wine. 
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace;
for, ADONAI, you alone make me live securely.

PSALMS: 34

1 By David,
when he pretended to be insane before Avimelekh,
who then drove him away;
so he left:
I will bless ADONAI at all times;
his praise will always be in my mouth. 
2 When I boast, it will be about ADONAI;
the humble will hear of it and be glad. 
3 Proclaim with me the greatness of ADONAI;
let us exalt his name together. 
4 I sought ADONAI, and he answered me;
he rescued me from everything I feared. 
5 They looked to him and grew radiant;
their faces will never blush for shame. 
6 This poor man cried;
ADONAI heard and saved him from all his troubles. 
7 The angel of ADONAI,
who encamps around those who fear him, delivers them. 
8 Taste, and see that ADONAI is good.
How blessed are those who take refuge in him! 
9 Fear ADONAI, you holy ones of his,
for those who fear him lack nothing. 
10 Young lions can be needy, they can go hungry,
but those who seek ADONAI lack nothing good. 
11 Come, children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of ADONAI. 
12 Which of you takes pleasure in living?
Who wants a long life to see good things?
13 [If you do,] keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from deceiving talk; 
14 turn from evil, and do good;
seek peace, go after it! 
15 The eyes of ADONAI watch over the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry. 
16 But the face of ADONAI opposes those who do evil,
to cut off all memory of them from the earth. 
17 [The righteous] cried out, and ADONAI heard,
and he saved them from all their troubles. 
18 ADONAI is near those with broken hearts;
he saves those whose spirit is crushed. 
19 The righteous person suffers many evils,
but ADONAI rescues him out of them all. 
20 He protects all his bones;
not one of them gets broken. 
21 Evil will kill the wicked, and those who
hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 But ADONAI redeems his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

PSALMS: 64

1 For the leader.
A psalm of David:
Hear my voice, God, as I plead:
preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 
2 Hide me from the secret intrigues of the wicked
and the open insurrection of evildoers. 
3 They sharpen their tongues like a sword;
they aim their arrows, poisoned words, 
4 in order to shoot from cover at the innocent,
shooting suddenly and fearing nothing. 
5 They support each other’s evil plans;
they talk of hiding snares and ask, “Who would see them?”
6 They search for ways to commit crimes,
bringing their diligent search to completion when each
of them has thought it through in the depth of his heart. 
7  Suddenly God shoots them down with an arrow,
leaving them with wounds; 
8 their own tongues make them stumble.
All who see them shake their heads. 
9 Everyone is awestruck they acknowledge that it is God at work,
they understand what he has done. 
10 The righteous will rejoice in ADONAI;
they will take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will exult.

PSALMS: 94

1 God of vengeance, ADONAI!
God of vengeance, appear! 
2 Assert yourself as judge of the earth!
Pay back the proud as they deserve! 
3 How long are the wicked, ADONAI,
how long are the wicked to triumph? 
4 They pour out insolent words,
they go on bragging, all these evildoers. 
5 They crush your people, ADONAI,
they oppress your heritage. 
6 They kill widows and strangers
and murder the fatherless. 
7 They say, “Yah isn’t looking;
the God of Ya’akov won’t notice.” 
8 Take notice, yourselves, you boors among the people!
You fools, when will you understand? 
9 Will the one who planted the ear not hear?
Will the one who formed the eye not see?
10 Will the one who disciplines nations not correct them?
Will the teacher of humanity not know? 
11 ADONAI understands that people’s thoughts
are merely a puff of wind. 
12 How happy the man whom you correct, Yah,
whom you teach from your Torah, 
13 giving him respite from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked! 
14 For ADONAI will not desert his people,
he will not abandon his heritage. 
15 Justice will once again become righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it. 
16 Who will champion my cause against the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against evildoers? 
17 If ADONAI hadn’t helped me,
I would soon have dwelt in the land of silence. 
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
your grace, ADONAI, supported me. 
19 When my cares within me are many,
your comforts cheer me up. 
20 Can unjust judges be allied with you,
those producing wrong in the name of law? 
21 They band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death. 
22 But ADONAI has become my stronghold,
my God is my rock of refuge.
23 But he repays them as their guilt deserves;
he will cut them off with their own evil;
ADONAI our God will cut them off.

PSALMS: 124

1 A song of ascents.
By David:
If ADONAI hadn’t been for us -let Isra’el repeat it – 
2 If ADONAI hadn’t been for us
when people rose to attack us, 
3 then, when their anger blazed against us,
they would have swallowed us alive! 
4 Then the water would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us. 
5 Yes, the raging water would have swept right over us. 
6 Blessed be ADONAI,
who did not leave us to be a prey for their teeth! 
7 We escaped like a bird from the hunter’s trap;
the trap is broken, and we have escaped. 
8 Our help is in the name of ADONAI,
the maker of heaven and earth.

PROVERBS: 4

1 Listen, children, to a father’s instruction;
pay attention, in order to gain insight; 
2 for I am giving you good advice;
so don’t abandon my teaching. 
3 For I too was once a child to my father;
and my mother, too, thought of me as her special darling. 
4 He too taught me; he said to me,
“Let your heart treasure my words;
keep my commands, and live; 
5 gain wisdom, gain insight;
don’t forget or turn from the words I am saying. 
6 Don’t abandon [wisdom];
then she will preserve you;
love her, and she will protect you. 
7 The beginning of wisdom is: get wisdom!
And along with all your getting, get insight! 
8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will bring you honor; 
9 she will give your head a garland of grace,
bestow on you a crown of glory.” 
10 Listen, my son, receive what I say,
and the years of your life will be many. 
11 I’m directing you on the way of wisdom,
guiding you in paths of uprightness; 
12 when you walk, your step won’t be hindered;
and if you run, you won’t stumble. 
13 Hold fast to discipline, don’t let it go;
guard it, for it is your life. 
14 Don’t follow the path of the wicked
or walk on the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, don’t go on it,
turn away from it, and pass on. 
16 For they can’t sleep if they haven’t done evil,
they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone fall. 
17  For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence. 
18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
shining ever brighter until full daylight. 
19 The way of the wicked is like darkness;
they don’t even know what makes them stumble. 
20 My son, pay attention to what I am saying;
incline your ear to my words. 
21 Don’t let them out of your sight,
keep them deep in your heart; 
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to their whole being. 
23 Above everything else, guard your heart;
for it is the source of life’s consequences. 
24 Keep crooked speech out of your mouth,
banish deceit from your lips. 
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze on what lies in front of you. 
26 Level the path for your feet,
let all your ways be properly prepared; 
27 then deviate neither right nor left;
and keep your foot far from evil.

OLD TESTAMENT:  ZECHARIAH 6:1 – 7:14

6:1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses; 3 in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful. 4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”5 The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the eretz. 6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country.” 7  The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the eretz: and he said, “Go around and through the eretz!” So they walked back and forth through the eretz. 8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.” 9 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 10 “Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Toviyah, and of Yedayah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Yoshiyahu the son of Tzefanyah, where they have come from Bavel. 11 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Yehoshua the son of Yehotzadak, the Kohen Gadol; 12 and speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of Hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of the LORD; 13 even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a Kohen on his throne; and the counsel of shalom shall be between them both. 14 The crowns shall be to Helem, and to Toviyah, and to Yedayah, and to Hen the son of Tzefanyah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. 15 Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”‘”

7:1 It happened in the fourth year of king Daryavesh that the word of the LORD came to Zekharyah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev. 2 The people of Beit-El sent Sar’etzer and Regem-Melekh, and their men, to entreat the LORD’s favor, 
3 and to speak to the Kohanim of the house of the LORD of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?” 4 Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying, 5 “Speak to all the people of the land, and to the Kohanim, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me? 6 When you eat, and when you drink, don’t you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? 7 Aren’t these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets, when Yerushalayim was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?'” 8 The word of the LORD came to Zekharyah, saying, 9 “Thus has the LORD of Hosts spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother. 10 Don’t oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’ 11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear. 12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which the LORD of Hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of Hosts. 13 It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said the LORD of Hosts; 14 “but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate.”

NEW TESTAMENT:  REVELATIONS 15:1 – 8

15:1 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God’s wrath is finished. 
2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. 
3 They sang the song of Moshe, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, Shaddai; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations. 
4 Who wouldn’t fear you, Lord, And glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed. 
5 After these things I looked, and the temple of the tent of the testimony in heaven was opened. 
6 The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out from the temple, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts. 
7  One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. 
8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

PSALMS: 3, 33, 63, 93, 123

PROVERBS: 3

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 4:1 – 5:11

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 14:1 – 20

PSALMS: 3

1 A psalm of David,
when he fled from Avshalom his son:
ADONAI, how many enemies I have!
How countless are those attacking me; 
2 how countless those who say of me,
“There is no salvation for him in God.”
(Selah) 
3 But you, ADONAI, are a shield for me;
you are my glory, you lift my head high. 
4 With my voice I call out to ADONAI,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
(Selah) 
5 I lie down and sleep, then wake up again,
because ADONAI sustains me. 
6 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
set against me on every side. 
7 Rise up, ADONAI!
Save me, my God!
For you slap all my enemies in the face,
you smash the teeth of the wicked. 
8 Victory comes from ADONAI;
may your blessing rest on your people.
(Selah)

PSALMS: 33

1 Rejoice in ADONAI, you righteous!
Praise is well-suited to the upright. 
2 Give thanks to ADONAI with the lyre,
sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp. 
3 Sing to him a new song,
make music at your best among shouts of joy. 
4 For the word of ADONAI is true,
and all his work is trustworthy. 
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the grace of ADONAI. 
6 By the word of ADONAI the heavens were made,
and their whole host by a breath from his mouth. 
7 He collects the sea waters together in a heap;
he puts the deeps in storehouses. 
8 Let all the earth fear ADONAI!
Let all living in the world stand in awe of him. 
9 For he spoke, and there it was;
he commanded, and there it stood. 
10 ADONAI brings to nothing the plans of nations,
he foils the plans of the peoples. 
11 But the counsel of ADONAI stands forever,
his heart’s plans are for all generations. 
12 How blessed is the nation whose God is ADONAI,
the people he chose as his heritage! 
13 ADONAI looks out from heaven;
he sees every human being; 
14 from the place where he lives he
watches everyone living on earth, 
15 he who fashioned the hearts of them
all and understands all they do. 
16 A king is not saved by the size of his army,
a strong man not delivered by his great strength. 
17 To rely on a horse for safety is vain,
nor does its great power assure escape. 
18 But ADONAI’s eyes watch over those who fear him,
over those who wait for his grace 
19 to rescue them from death
and keep them alive in famine. 
20 We are waiting for ADONAI;
he is our help and shield. 
21 For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name. 
22 May your mercy, ADONAI, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.

PSALMS: 63

1 A psalm of David,
when he was in the desert of Y’hudah:
O God, you are my God;
I will seek you eagerly.
My heart thirsts for you,
my body longs for you in a land parched and exhausted,
where no water can be found. 
2 I used to contemplate you in the sanctuary,
seeing your power and glory; 
3 for your grace is better than life.
My lips will worship you. 
4 Yes, I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands. 
5 I am as satisfied as with rich food;
my mouth praises you with joy on my lips 
6 when I remember you on my bed
and meditate on you in the night watches. 
7 For you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice; 
8 my heart clings to you;
your right hand supports me. 
9 But those who seek to destroy my life -may
they go to the lowest parts of the earth. 
10 May they be given over to the power of the sword;
may they become prey for jackals. 
11 But the king will rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by him will exult,
for the mouths of liars will be silenced.

PSALMS: 93

1 ADONAI is king, robed in majesty;
ADONAI is robed, girded with strength;
The world is well established;
it cannot be moved. 
2 Your throne was established long ago;
you have existed forever. 
3 ADONAI, the deep is raising up, the deep is raising up
its voice, the deep is raising its crashing waves. 
4 More than the sound of rushing waters or the mighty breakers of the sea,
ADONAI on high is mighty.
5 Your instructions are very sure;
holiness befits your house,
ADONAI, for all time to come.

PSALMS: 123

1 A song of ascents:
I raise my eyes to you, whose throne is in heaven. 
2 As a servant looks to the hand of his master,
or a slave-girl to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes turn to ADONAI our God,
until he has mercy on us. 
3 Have mercy on us, ADONAI, have mercy;
for we have had our fill of contempt, 
4 more than our fill of scorn from the complacent
and contempt from the arrogant.

PROVERBS: 3

1 My son, don’t forget my teaching,
keep my commands in your heart; 
2 for they will add to you many days,
years of life and peace.
3 Do not let grace and truth leave you -bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart. 
4 Then you will win favor and esteem
in the sight of God and of people. 
5 Trust in ADONAI with all your heart;
do not rely on your own understanding. 
6 In all your ways acknowledge him;
then he will level your paths. 
7 Don’t be conceited about your own wisdom;
but fear ADONAI, and turn from evil. 
8 This will bring health to your body
and give strength to your bones. 
9 Honor ADONAI with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your income. 
10 Then your granaries will be filled
and your vats overflow with new wine. 
11 My son, don’t despise ADONAI’s discipline
or resent his reproof; 
12 for ADONAI corrects those he loves
like a father who delights in his son. 
13 Happy the person who finds wisdom,
the person who acquires understanding; 
14 for her profit exceeds that of silver,
gaining her is better than gold, 
15 she is more precious than pearls -nothing
you want can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand,
riches and honor in her left. 
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace. 
18 She is a tree of life to those who grasp her;
whoever holds fast to her will be made happy. 
19 ADONAI by wisdom founded the earth,
by understanding he established the heavens, 
20 by his knowledge the deep [springs] burst open
and the dew condenses from the sky. 
21 My son, don’t let these slip from your sight;
preserve common sense and discretion; 
22 they will be life for your being
and grace for your neck. 
23 Then you will walk your way securely,
without hurting your foot. 
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. 
25 Don’t be afraid of sudden terror or destruction caused by the wicked,
when it comes; 
26 for you can rely on ADONAI;
he will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.
27 Don’t withhold good from someone entitled to it when
you have in hand the power to do it. 
28 Don’t tell your neighbor, “Go away!
Come another time;
I’ll give it to you tomorrow,”
when you have it now.
29 Don’t plan harm against your neighbor who lives beside you trustingly. 
30 Don’t quarrel with someone for no reason, if he has done you no harm. 
31 Don’t envy a man of violence, don’t choose any of his ways; 
32 for the perverse is an abomination to ADONAI,
but he shares his secret counsel with the upright. 
33 ADONAI’s curse is in the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous. 
34 The scornful he scorns,
but gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise win honor,
but fools win shame.

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 4:1 – 5:11

4:1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and, behold, a menorah all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it; 3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.” 4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?” 5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.” 6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbavel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Hosts. 7 Who are you, great mountain? before Zerubbavel [you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!'”8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 “The hands of Zerubbavel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you. 10 Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbavel. These are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole eretz.” 11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the menorah and on the left side of it?” 12 I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?” 13 He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.” 14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole eretz.”

5:1 Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying scroll. 2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.” 3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side. 4 I will cause it to go out,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.” 5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing.” 6 I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the efah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land 7  (and, behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the efah basket.” 8 He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the midst of the efah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth. 9 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the efah basket between eretz and the sky. 10 Then said I to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the efah basket?” 11 He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shin`ar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 14:1 – 20

14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Tziyon, and with him one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 
2 I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpers playing on their harps. 
3 They sing something like a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the Zakenim. None could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the eretz. 
4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Yeshua from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
5 In their mouth was found no lie. They are without fault. 
6 I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the eretz, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people. 
7  He said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the eretz, the sea, and the springs of waters!”
8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Bavel the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.” 
9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand, 
10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. 
11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. 
12 Here is the patience of the holy ones, those who keep the mitzvot of God, and the faith of Yeshua.” 
13 I heard the voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.” 
14 I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 
15 Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the eretz is ripe!” 
16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the eretz, and the eretz was reaped. 
17 Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle. 
18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the eretz, for her grapes are fully ripe!” 
19 The angel thrust his sickle into the eretz, and gathered the vintage of the eretz, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 
20 The winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.

PSALMS: 2, 32, 62, 92, 122

PROVERBS: 2

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 2:1 – 3:10

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 12:18 – 13:18

PSALMS: 2

1 Why are the nations in an uproar,
the peoples grumbling in vain?
2 The earth’s kings are taking positions,
leaders conspiring together,
against ADONAI and his anointed. 
3 They cry, “Let’s break their fetters!
Let’s throw off their chains!” 
4 He who sits in heaven laughs;
Adonai looks at them in derision. 
5 Then in his anger he rebukes them,
terrifies them in his fury. 
6 “I myself have installed my king on Tziyon,
my holy mountain.” 
7 “I will proclaim the decree:
ADONAI said to me,
‘You are my son;
today I became your father. 
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance;
the whole wide world will be your possession. 
9 You will break them with an iron rod,
shatter them like a clay pot.'” 
10 Therefore, kings, be wise;
be warned, you judges of the earth. 
11 Serve ADONAI with fear;
rejoice, but with trembling. 
12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry,
and you perish along the way,
when suddenly his anger blazes.
How blessed are all who take refuge in him.

PSALMS: 32

1 By David.
A maskil:
How blessed are those whose offense is forgiven,
those whose sin is covered! 
2 How blessed those to whom ADONAI imputes no guilt,
in whose spirit is no deceit! 
3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away because of my groaning all day long;
4 day and night your hand was heavy on me;
the sap in me dried up as in a summer drought.
(Selah) 
5 When I acknowledged my sin to you,
when I stopped concealing my guilt,
and said, “I will confess my offenses to ADONAI”;
then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah) 
6 This is what everyone faithful should pray at a time when you can be found.
Then, when the floodwaters are raging, they will not reach to him. 
7 You are a hiding-place for me, you will keep me from distress;
you will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah) 
8 “I will instruct and teach you in this way that you are to go;
I will give you counsel;
my eyes will be watching you.” 
9 Don’t be like a horse or mule that has no understanding,
that has to be curbed with bit and bridle,
or else it won’t come near you. 
10 Many are the torments of the wicked,
but grace surrounds those who trust in ADONAI. 
11 Be glad in ADONAI;
rejoice, you righteous!
Shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

PSALMS: 62

1 For the leader.
Set in the style of Y’dutun.
A psalm of David:
My soul waits in silence for God alone;
my salvation comes from him. 
2 He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold;
I won’t be greatly moved. 
3 How long will you assail a person in order to murder him, all of you,
as if he were a sagging wall or a shaky fence? 
4 They only want to shake him from his height,
they take delight in lying with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.
(Selah) 
5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
because my hope comes from him. 
6 He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold;
I won’t be moved.
7  My safety and honor rest on God.
My strong rock and refuge are in God. 
8 Trust in him, people, at all times;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. (Selah) 
9 Ordinary folks are merely a breath and important people a sham;
if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up both together are lighter than nothing. 
10 Don’t put your trust in extortion, don’t put false hopes in robbery;
even if wealth increases, don’t set your heart on it. 
11 God has spoken once, I have heard it twice:
strength belongs to God. 
12 Also to you, Adonai, belongs grace;
for you reward all as their deeds deserve.

PSALMS: 92

1 A psalm.
A song for Shabbat:
It is good to give thanks to ADONAI and sing praises to your name, ‘Elyon, 
2 to tell in the morning about your grace and at night about your faithfulness, 
3 to the music of a ten-stringed [harp] and a lute,
with the melody sounding on a lyre. 
4 For, ADONAI, what you do makes me happy;
I take joy in what your hands have made. 
5 How great are your deeds, ADONAI!
How very deep your thoughts! 
6 Stupid people can’t know, fools don’t understand, 
7 that when the wicked sprout like grass, and all who do evil prosper,
it is so that they can be eternally destroyed, 
8 while you, ADONAI, are exalted forever. 
9 For your enemies, ADONAI, your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered. 
10 But you have given me the strength of a wild bull;
you anoint me with fresh olive oil. 
11 My eyes have gazed with pleasure on my enemies’ ruin,
my ears have delighted in the fall of my foes. 
12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar in the L’vanon.
13 Planted in the house of ADONAI,
they will flourish in the courtyards of our God. 
14 Even in old age they will be vigorous,
still full of sap, still bearing fruit, 
15 proclaiming that ADONAI is upright, my Rock,
in whom there is no wrong.

PSALMS: 122

1 A song of ascents.
By David: I was glad when they said to me,
“The house of ADONAI! Let’s go!” 
2 Our feet were already standing at your gates, Yerushalayim. 
3 Yerushalayim, built as a city fostering friendship and unity. 
4 The tribes have gone up there, the tribes of ADONAI,
as a witness to Isra’el, to give thanks to the name of ADONAI. 
5 For there the thrones of justice were set up,
the thrones of the house of David. 
6 Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim;
may those who love you prosper. 
7 May shalom be within your ramparts,
prosperity in your palaces. 
8 For the sake of my family and friends,
I say, “Shalom be within you!” 
9 For the sake of the house of ADONAI our God,
I will seek your well-being.

PROVERBS: 2

1 My son, if you will receive my words and
store my commands inside you, 
2 paying attention to wisdom inclining
your mind toward understanding 
3 yes, if you will call for insight and
raise your voice for discernment, 
4 if you seek it as you would silver and
search for it as for hidden treasure – 
5 then you will understand the fear of ADONAI and find knowledge of God. 
6 For ADONAI gives wisdom;
from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. 
7 He stores up common sense for the upright,
is a shield to those whose conduct is blameless, 
8 in order to guard the courses of justice and preserve
the way of those faithful to him. 
9 Then you will understand righteousness,
justice, fairness and every good path. 
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
knowledge will be enjoyable for you, 
11 discretion will watch over you,
and discernment will guard you. 
12 They will save you from the way of evil and
from those who speak deceitfully, 
13 who leave the paths of honesty
to walk the ways of darkness, 
14 who delight in doing evil and
take joy in being stubbornly deceitful, 
15 from those whose tracks are twisted and
whose paths are perverse. 
16 They will save you from a woman who is a stranger,
from a loose woman with smooth talk, 
17 who abandons the ruler she had in her youth and
forgets the covenant of her God. 
18 Her house is sinking toward death,
her paths lead to the dead. 
19 None who go to her return;
they never regain the path to life. 
20 Thus you will walk on the way of good people
and keep to the paths of the righteous. 
21 For the upright will live in the land,
the pure-hearted will remain there; 
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
the unfaithful rooted out of it.

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 2:1 – 3:10

2:1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Yerushalayim, to see what is its breadth and what is its length.” 3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 4 and said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Yerushalayim will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it. 5 For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. 6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD. 7 ‘Come, Tziyon! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Bavel.’ 8 For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye. 9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me. 10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Tziyon; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,’ says the LORD. 11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you. 12 The LORD will inherit Yehudah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Yerushalayim. 13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

3:1 He showed me Yehoshua the Kohen Gadol standing before the angel of the LORD, and Hasatan standing at his right hand to be his adversary. 2 The LORD said to Hasatan, “The LORD rebuke you, Hasatan! Yes, the LORD who has chosen Yerushalayim rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?” 3 Now Yehoshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. 4 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off of him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.” 5 I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of the LORD was standing by. 6 The angel of the LORD protested to Yehoshua, saying, 7 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by. 8 Hear now, Yehoshua the Kohen Gadol, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch. 9 For, behold, the stone that I have set before Yehoshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the engraving of it,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 13:1 – 13:18

13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. 
2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 
3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole eretz marveled at the beast. 
4 They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to continue for forty-two months was given to him. 
6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent, those who dwell in heaven. 
7  It was given to him to make war with the holy ones, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him. 
8 All who dwell on the eretz will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed. 
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 If anyone gathers into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone will kill with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the holy ones. 
11 I saw another beast coming up out of the eretz. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. 
12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the eretz and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 
13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky on the eretz in the sight of men.

PSALMS: 1, 31, 61, 91, 121

PROVERBS: 1

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 1:1 – 21

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 12:1 – 17

PSALMS: 1

1 How blessed are those who reject the advice of the wicked,
don’t stand on the way of sinners or sit where scoffers sit! 
2 Their delight is in ADONAI’s Torah;
on his Torah they meditate day and night. 
3 They are like trees planted by streams -they bear their fruit in season,
their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds. 
4 Not so the wicked, who are like chaff driven by the wind. 
5 For this reason the wicked won’t stand up to the judgment,
nor will sinners at the gathering of the righteous. 
6 For ADONAI watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked is doomed.

PSALMS: 31

1 For the leader.
A psalm of David:
In you, ADONAI, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
in your justice, save me! 
2 Turn your ear toward me, come quickly to my rescue,
be for me a rock of strength, a fortress to keep me safe. 
3 Since you are my rock and fortress, lead me and guide me for your name’s sake. 
4 Free me from the net they have hidden to catch me, because you are my strength. 
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you will redeem me, ADONAI, God of truth. 
6 I hate those who serve worthless idols;
as for me, I trust in ADONAI. 
7  I will rejoice and be glad in your grace,
for you see my affliction,
you know how distressed I am. 
8 You did not hand me over to the enemy;
you set my feet where I can move freely. 
9 Show me favor, ADONAI, for I am in trouble.
My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well. 
10 For my life is worn out with sorrow and my years with sighing;
my strength gives out under my guilt, and my bones are wasting away. 
11 I am scorned by all my adversaries, and even more by my neighbors;
even to acquaintances I am an object of fear when they see me in the street,
they turn away from me. 
12 Like a dead man, I have passed from their minds;
I have become like a broken pot. 
13 All I hear is whispering, terror is all around me;
they plot together against me, scheming to take my life.
14 But I, I trust in you, ADONAI; I say, “You are my God.” 
15 My times are in your hand;
rescue me from my enemies’ power, from those who persecute me. 
16 Make your face shine on your servant;
in your grace, save me. 
17 ADONAI, don’t let me be put to shame,
for I have called on you;
let the wicked be put to shame, l
et them be silenced in Sh’ol. 
18 May lying lips be struck dumb,
that speak insolently against the righteous with such pride and contempt. 
19 But oh, how great is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you,
which you do for those who take refuge in you, before people’s very eyes! 
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots,
you conceal them in your shelter, safe from contentious tongues. 
21 Blessed be ADONAI!
For he has shown me his amazing grace when I was in a city under siege. 
22 As for me, in my alarm I said, “I have been cut off from your sight!
“Nevertheless, you heard my pleas when I cried out to you. 
23 Love ADONAI, you faithful of his.
ADONAI preserves the loyal, but the proud he repays in full. 
24 Be strong, and fill your hearts with courage,
all of you who hope in ADONAI.

PSALMS: 61

1 For the leader.
A psalm of David:

because you are my strength. 
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you will redeem me, ADONAI, God of truth. 
6 I hate those who serve worthless idols;
as for me, I trust in ADONAI. 
7 I will rejoice and be glad in your grace,
for you see my affliction,
you know how distressed I am. 
8 You did not hand me over to the enemy;
you set my feet where I can move freely. 
9 Show me favor, ADONAI, for I am in trouble.
My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well. 
10 For my life is worn out with sorrow and my years with sighing;
my strength gives out under my guilt, and my bones are wasting away. 
11 I am scorned by all my adversaries, and even more by my neighbors;
even to acquaintances I am an object of fear when they see me in the street,

15 My times are in your hand;
rescue me from my enemies’ power, from those who persecute me. 
16 Make your face shine on your servant;
in your grace, save me. 
17 ADONAI, don’t let me be put to shame,
for I have called on you;
let the wicked be put to shame,
let them be silenced in Sh’ol. 
18 May lying lips be struck dumb,
that speak insolently against the righteous with such pride and contempt. 
19 But oh, how great is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you,
which you do for those who take refuge in you,
before people’s very eyes! 
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots,
you conceal them in your shelter, safe from contentious tongues.

23 Love ADONAI, you faithful of his.
ADONAI preserves the loyal,
but the proud he repays in full. 
24 Be strong, and fill your hearts with courage,
all of you who hope in ADONAI.

PSALMS: 91

1 You who live in the shelter of ‘Elyon,
who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai, 
2 who say to ADONAI,
“My refuge!
My fortress!
My God, in whom I trust!” 
3 he will rescue you from the trap of the hunter and from the plague of calamities; 
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his truth is a shield and protection. 
5 You will not fear the terrors of night or the arrow that flies by day, 
6 or the plague that roams in the dark,
or the scourge that wreaks havoc at noon. 
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand;
but it won’t come near you. 
8 Only keep your eyes open, and you will see how the wicked are punished. 
9 For you have made ADONAI, the Most High,
who is my refuge, your dwelling-place. 
10 No disaster will happen to you,
no calamity will come near your tent; 
11 for he will order his angels to care for you and guard you wherever you go. 
12 They will carry you in their hands,
so that you won’t trip on a stone. 
13 You will tread down lions and snakes,
young lions and serpents you will trample underfoot. 
14 “Because he loves me, I will rescue him;
because he knows my name, I will protect him. 
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him when he is in trouble.
I will extricate him and bring him honor. 
16 I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.”

PSALMS: 121

1 A song of ascents:
If I raise my eyes to the hills,
from where will my help come? 
2 My help comes from ADONAI,
the maker of heaven and earth. 
3 He will not let your foot slip -your guardian is not asleep. 
4 No, the guardian of Isra’el never slumbers or sleeps.
5 ADONAI is your guardian; at your right hand
ADONAI provides you with shade 
6 the sun can’t strike you during the day or even the moon at night. 
7 ADONAI will guard you against all harm;
he will guard your life. 
8 ADONAI will guard your coming and going from now on and forever.

PROVERBS: 1

1 The proverbs of Shlomo the son of David, king of Isra’el, 
2 are for learning about wisdom and discipline; f
or understanding words expressing deep insight; 
3 for gaining an intelligently disciplined life,
doing what is right, just and fair; 
4 for endowing with caution those who don’t think and the
young person with knowledge and discretion.
5 Someone who is already wise will hear and learn still more;
someone who already understands will gain the ability to counsel well;
6 he will understand proverbs, obscure expressions,
the sayings and riddles of the wise. 
7 The fear of ADONAI is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline. 
8 My son, heed the discipline of your father,
and do not abandon the teaching of your mother; 
9 they will be a garland to grace your head,
a medal of honor for your neck. 
10 My son, if sinners entice you,
don’t go along with them. 
11 Suppose they say, “Come with us:
we’ll ambush somebody and kill him,
we’ll waylay some harmless soul, just for fun;
12 we’ll swallow him alive, like Sh’ol, whole,
like those who descend to the pit; 
13 we’ll find everything he has of value,
we’ll fill our homes with loot! 
14 Throw in your lot with us;
we’ll share a common purse”- 
15 my son, don’t go along with them,
don’t set foot on their path; 
16 Their feet run to evil, they rush to shed blood. 
17 For in vain is the net baited if any bird can see it; 
18 rather, they are ambushing themselves
to shed their own blood, waylaying themselves. 
19 So are the ways of all greedy for gain -it takes the lives of those who get it. 
20 Wisdom calls aloud in the open air and raises her voice in the public places; 
21 she calls out at streetcorners and speaks out at entrances to city gates: 
22 “How long, you whose lives have no purpose,
will you love thoughtless living?
How long will scorners find pleasure in mocking?
How long will fools hate knowledge? 
23 Repent when I reprove -I will pour out my spirit to you,
I will make my words known to you. 
24 Because you refused when I called,
and no one paid attention when I put out my hand, 
25 but instead you neglected my counsel and would not accept my reproof; 
26 I, in turn, will laugh at your distress,
and mock when terror comes over you 
27 yes, when terror overtakes you like a storm and your disaster approaches like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble assail you. 
28 Then they will call me, but I won’t answer;
they will seek me earnestly, but they won’t find me. 
29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of ADONAI, 
30 they refused my counsel and despised my reproof. 
31 So they will bear the consequences of their own way
and be overfilled with their own schemes. 
32 For the aimless wandering of the thoughtless will kill them,
and the smug overconfidence of fools will destroy them; 
33 but those who pay attention to me will live securely,
untroubled by fear of misfortune.”

OLD TESTAMENT: ZECHARIAH 1:1 – 21

1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zekharyah the son of Berekhyah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

2 "The LORD was very displeased with your fathers.

3 Therefore tell them: Thus says the LORD of Hosts: 'Return to me,' says the LORD of Hosts, 'and I will return to you,' says the LORD of Hosts.

4 Don't you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says the LORD.

5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

6 But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn't they overtake your fathers? "Then they repented and said, 'Just as the LORD of Hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shevat, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zekharyah the son of Berekhyah, the son of ‘Iddo, the prophet, saying, 
8 “I had a vision in the night, and, behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses. 
9 Then I asked, ‘My lord, what are these?'” The angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.” 
10 The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered, “They are the ones the LORD has sent to go back and forth through the eretz.” 
11 They reported to the angel of the LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked back and forth through the eretz, and, behold, all the eretz is at rest and in shalom.” 
12 Then the angel of the LORD replied, “O LORD of Hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Yerushalayim and on the cities of Yehudah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?” 
13 The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words. 
14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “I am jealous for Yerushalayim and for Tziyon with a great jealousy. 
15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.”
16 Therefore thus says the LORD: “I have returned to Yerushalayim with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and a line shall be stretched forth over Yerushalayim.”‘ 
17 “Proclaim further, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of Hosts: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Tziyon, and will again choose Yerushalayim.”‘” 
18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns. 
19 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns which have scattered Yehudah, Yisra’el, and Yerushalayim.”
20 The LORD showed me four craftsmen. 
21 Then I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He said, “These are the horns which scattered Yehudah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Yehudah to scatter it.”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 12:1 – 17

12:1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 
2 She was with child. She cried out, laboring and in pain, giving birth. 
3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. 
4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the eretz. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. 
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 
6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days. 
7  There was war in the sky. Mikha’el and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war. 
8 They didn’t prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in heaven. 
9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the Devil and Hasatan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the eretz, and his angels were thrown down with him. 
10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now is come the salvation, the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
11 They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe for the eretz and for the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.” 
13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the eretz, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 
14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 
15 The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. 
16 The eretz helped the woman, and the eretz opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth. 
17  The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep God’s mitzvot and hold Yeshua’ testimony.

PROVERBS: 30

OLD TESTAMENT: HAGGAI 1:1 – 2:23

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 11:1 – 19

PSALMS: 30

1 I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up,
And have not made my foes to rejoice over me. 
2 LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me. 
3 LORD, you have brought up my soul from She’ol.
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you holy ones of his.
Give thanks to his holy name. 
5 For his anger is but for a moment;
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
But joy comes in the morning. 
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” 
7 You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong.
But when you hid your face, I was troubled. 
8 I cried to you, LORD.
To the LORD I made supplication: 
9 “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth? 
10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.” 
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness, 
12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

PSALMS: 60

1 God, you have rejected us.
You have broken us down.
You have been angry.
Restore us to you, again. 
2 You have made the land tremble.
You have torn it.
Mend its fractures,
For it quakes. 
3 You have shown your people hard things.
You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. 
4 You have given a banner to those who fear you,
That it may be displayed because of the truth.
Selah.
5 So that your beloved may be delivered,
Save with your right hand, and answer us. 
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“I will triumph.
I will divide Shekhem,
And measure out the valley of Sukkot.
7 Gil`ad is mine, and Menashsheh is mine.
Efrayim also is the defense of my head.
Yehudah is my scepter. 
8 Mo’av is my wash basin.
I will throw my shoe on Edom.
I shout in triumph over Peleshet.” 
9 Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who has led me to Edom? 
10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us?
You don’t go out with our armies, God. 
11 Give us help against the adversary,
For the help of man is vain. 
12 Through God we shall do valiantly,
For it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

PSALMS: 90

1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place In all generations. 
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever you had formed the eretz and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. 
3 You turn man to destruction, saying,
“Return, you children of men.” 
4 For a thousand years in your sight
Are but as yesterday when it is past,
As a watch in the night. 
5 You sweep them away as they sleep.
In the morning they sprout like new grass. 
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up.
By evening, it is withered and dry.
7 For we are consumed in your anger.
We are troubled in your wrath. 
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
Our secret sins in the light of your presence. 
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath.
We bring our years to an end as a sigh. 
10 The days of our years are seventy,
Or even by reason of strength eighty years;
Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow,
For it passes quickly, and we fly away. 
11 Who knows the power of your anger,
Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? 
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom. 
13 Relent, LORD! How long?
Have compassion on your servants. 
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
For as many years as we have seen evil. 
16 Let your work appear to your servants;
Your glory to their children. 
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
Establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.

PSALMS: 120

1 The LORD says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
Until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.” 
2 The LORD will send forth the rod of your strength out of Tziyon.
Rule in the midst of your enemies. 
3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power,
In holy array.
Out of the womb of the morning,
you have the dew of your youth. 
4 The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind:
“You are a Kohen forever in the order of Malki-Tzedek.” 
5 The Lord is at your right hand.
He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge among the nations.
He will heap up dead bodies.
He will crush the ruler of the whole eretz. 
7 He will drink of the brook in the way;
Therefore will he lift up his head.

PSALMS: 150

1 Deliver me, LORD, from the evil man.
Preserve me from the violent man; 
2 Those who devise mischief in their hearts.
They continually gather themselves together for war. 
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.
Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah. 
4 LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked.
Preserve me from the violent men:
Who have determined to trip my feet. 
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me,
They have spread the cords of a net by the path.
They have set traps for me. Selah. 
6 I said to the LORD, “You are my God.”
Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD. 
7 LORD, the Lord, the strength of my yeshu`ah,
You have covered my head in the day of battle. 
8 LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked.
Don’t let their evil plans succeed,
or they will become proud.
Selah. 
9 As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 
10 Let burning coals fall on them.
Let them be thrown into the fire,
Into miry pits, from where they never rise. 
11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the eretz.
Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the needy. 
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.
The upright will dwell in your presence.

PROVERBS: 30

1 The words of Agur the son of Yakeh, the oracle:
The man says to ‘Iti’el, To ‘Iti’el and Ucal: 
2 “Surely I am the most ignorant man,
And don’t have a man’s understanding. 
3 I have not learned wisdom,
Neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One. 
4 Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has bound the waters in his garment?
Who has established all the ends of the eretz? ‘
What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know? 
5 “Every word of God is flawless.
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 
6 Don’t you add to his words,
Lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar. 
7 “Two things I have asked of you;
Don’t deny me before I die: 
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies.
Give me neither poverty nor riches.
Feed me with the food that is needful for me; 
9 Lest I be full, deny you, and say,
‘Who is the LORD?’
Or lest I be poor, and steal,
And so dishonor the name of my God. 
10 “Don’t slander a servant to his master,
Lest he curse you, and you be held guilty. 
11 There is a generation that curses their father,
And doesn’t bless their mother. 
12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes,
Yet are not washed from their filthiness. 
13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!
Their eyelids are lifted up. 
14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
And their jaws like knives,
To devour the poor from the eretz,
and the needy from among men. 
15 “The leach has two daughters:
‘Give, give.’
“There are three things that are never satisfied;
Four that don’t say, ‘Enough:’ 
16 She’ol, the barren womb;
The eretz that is not satisfied with water;
The fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough;’ 
17 And the eye that mocks at his father,
And scorns obedience to his mother:
The ravens of the valley shall pick it out,
The young eagles shall eat it. 
18 “There are three things which are too amazing for me,
Four which I don’t understand: 
19 The way of an eagle in the air;
The way of a serpent on a rock;
The way of a ship in the midst of the sea;
And the way of a man with a maiden. 
20 So is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
And says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’ 
21 “For three things the eretz tremble,
And under four, it can’t bear up: 
22 For a servant when he is king;
A fool when he is filled with food; 
23 For an unloved woman when she is married;
And a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24 “There are four things which are little on the eretz,
But they are exceeding wise: 
25 The ants are not a strong people,
Yet they provide their food in the summer; 
26 The conies are but a feeble folk,
Yet make they their houses in the rocks; 
27 The locusts have no king,
Yet they advance in ranks; 
28 You can catch a lizard with your hands,
Yet she is in kings’ palaces. 
29 “There are three things which are stately in their march,
Four which are stately in going: 
30 The lion, which is mightiest among animals,
And doesn’t turn away for any; 
31 The greyhound, the male goat also;
And the king against whom there is no rising up. 
32 “If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself,
Or if you have thought evil,
Put your hand over your mouth. 
33 For as the churning of milk brings forth butter,
And the wringing of the nose brings forth blood;
So the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.”

OLD TESTAMENT: HAGGAI 1:1 – 2:23

1:1 In the second year of Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the Word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbavel, the son of She’alti’el, governor of Yehudah, and to Yehoshua, the son of Yehotzadak, the Kohen Gadol, saying, 2 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: These people say, ‘The time hasn’t yet come, the time for the LORD’s house to be built.'” 3 Then the Word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste? 5 Now therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: Consider your ways. 6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.” 7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says the LORD. 9 “You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of Hosts, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house. 10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the eretz withholds its fruit. 11 I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground brings forth, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of the hands.” 12 Then Zerubbavel, the son of She’alti’el, and Yehoshua, the son of Yehotzadak, the Kohen Gadol, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD, their God, and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as the LORD, their God, had sent him; and the people feared the LORD. 13 Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke in the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says the LORD. 14 The LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbavel, the son of She’alti’el, governor of Yehudah, and the spirit of Yehoshua, the son of Yehotzadak, the Kohen Gadol, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God, 15 in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Daryavesh the king.

2:1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the Word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 2 “Speak now to Zerubbavel, the son of She’alti’el, governor of Yehudah, and to Yehoshua, the son of Yehotzadak, the Kohen Gadol, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn’t it in your eyes as nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbavel,’ says the LORD. ‘Be strong, Yehoshua, son of Yehotzadak, the Kohen Gadol. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says the LORD of Hosts. 5 This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Mitzrayim, and my Spirit lived among you. Don’t be afraid.’ 6 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the eretz, the sea, and the dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations. The precious things of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD of Hosts. 9 ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Hosts; ‘and in this place will I give shalom,’ says the LORD of Hosts.” 10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the Word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 11 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: Ask now the Kohanim concerning the law, saying, 12 ‘If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'” The Kohanim answered, “No.” 13 Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?” The Kohanim answered, “It will be unclean.” 14 Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says the LORD; ‘and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean. 15 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the temple of the LORD. 16 Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty. 17 I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says the LORD. 18 ‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid, consider it. 19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t brought forth. From this day will I bless you.'” 20 The Word of the LORD came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 “Speak to Zerubbavel, governor of Yehudah, saying, ‘I will shake the heavens and the eretz. 22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother. 23 In that day, says the LORD of Hosts, will I take you, Zerubbavel, my servant, the son of She’alti’el,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of Hosts.”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 11:1 – 19

1 A reed like a rod was given to me. One said, “Rise, and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it. 
2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. 
3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. 
4 These are the two olive trees and the two menorot, standing before the Lord of the eretz. 
5 If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 
6 These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the eretz with every plague, as often as they desire. 
7  When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 
8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sedom and Mitzrayim, where also their Lord was crucified. 
9 From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will people look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 
10 Those who dwell on the eretz will rejoice over them, and make merry. They will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the eretz. 
11 After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them. 
12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.
13 In that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 
14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly. 
15 The seventh angel sounded, and there followed great voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Messiah. He will reign forever and ever!” 
16 The twenty-four Zakenim, who sit before God on their thrones, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 
17 saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, Shaddai, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned. 
18 The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants, the prophets, their reward, as well as the holy ones, and those who fear your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the eretz.” 
19 God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. There followed lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail.

PSALMS: 29, 59, 89, 119, 149

PROVERBS: 29

OLD TESTAMENT: ZEPHANIAH 1:1 – 3:30

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 10:1 – 11

PSALMS: 29

1 Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name.
Worship the LORD in holy array. 
3 The voice of LORD is on the waters.
The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters. 
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful.
The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars.
Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Levanon. 
6 He makes them also to skip like a calf;
Levanon and Siryon like a young wild ox. 
7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness.
The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 
9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer calve,
And strips the forests bare.
In his temple everything says, “Glory!” 
10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood.
Yes, the LORD sits as King forever. 
11 The LORD will give strength to his people.
The LORD will bless his people with shalom.

PSALMS: 59

1 Deliver me from my enemies, my God.
Set me on high from those who rise up against me. 
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.
Save me from the bloodthirsty men. 
3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.
The mighty gather themselves together against me,
Not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD. 
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Rise up, behold, and help me! 
5 You, LORD God Tzva’ot, the God of Yisra’el,
Rouse yourself to punish the nations.
Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
6 They return at evening, howling like dogs,
And prowl around the city. 
7 Behold, they spew with their mouth.
Swords are in their lips,
“For,” they say, “who hears us?” 
8 But you, LORD, laugh at them.
You scoff at all the nations. 
9 Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,
For God is my high tower. 
10 My God will go before me with his loving kindness.
God will let me look at my enemies in triumph. 
11 Don’t kill them, or my people may forget.
Scatter them by your power, and bring them down,
Lord our shield. 
12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,
Let them be caught in their pride,
For the curses and lies which they utter. 
13 Consume them in wrath.
Consume them, and they will be no more.
Let them know that God rules in Ya`akov,
To the ends of the eretz.
Selah. 
14 At evening let them return.
Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city. 
15 They shall wander up and down for food,
And wait all night if they aren’t satisfied. 
16 But I will sing of your strength.
Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.
For you have been my high tower,
A refuge in the day of my distress. 
17  To you, my strength, I will sing praises.
For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

PSALMS: 89

1 I will sing of the loving kindness of the LORD forever.
With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. 
2 I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever.
You established the heavens.
Your faithfulness is in them.” 
3 “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David, my servant, 
4 ‘I will establish your seed forever,
And build up your throne to all generations.'”
Selah. 
5 The heavens will praise your wonders, LORD;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 
6 For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD?
Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like the LORD, 
7 A very awesome God in the council of the holy ones,
To be feared above all those who are around him? 
8 LORD, God Tzva’ot, who is a mighty one, like you?
The LORD, your faithfulness is around you. 
9 You rule the pride of the sea.
When its waves rise up, you calm them. 
10 You have broken Rachav in pieces, like one of the slain.
You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. 
11 The heavens are yours, the eretz also is yours;
The world and its fullness.
You have founded them. 
12 The north and the south, you have created them.
Tavor and Hermon rejoice in your name. 
13 You have a mighty arm.
Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted. 
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.
Loving kindness and truth go before your face. 
15 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you.
They walk in the light of your presence, LORD. 
16 In your name do they rejoice all day.
In your righteousness, they are exalted. 
17 For you are the glory of their strength.
In your favor, our horn will be exalted. 
18 For our shield belongs to the LORD;
Our king to the Holy One of Yisra’el. 
19 Then you spoke in vision to your holy ones,
And said, “I have bestowed strength on the warrior.
I have exalted a young man from the people.
20 I have found David, my servant.
I have anointed him with my holy oil, 
21 With whom my hand shall be established.
My arm will also strengthen him. 
22 No enemy will tax him.
No wicked man will oppress him. 
23 I will beat down his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him. 
24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him.
In my name, his horn will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers. 
26 He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,
My God, and the rock of my salvation!’ 
27 I will also appoint him my firstborn,
The highest of the kings of the eretz. 
28 I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore.
My covenant will stand firm with him. 
29 I will also make his seed endure forever,
And his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law,
And don’t walk in my ordinances;
31 If they break my statutes,
And don’t keep my mitzvot; 
32 Then I will punish their sin with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes. 
33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him,
Nor allow my faithfulness to fail. 
34 I will not break my covenant,
Nor alter what my lips have uttered. 
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness,
I will not lie to David. 
36 His seed will endure forever,
His throne like the sun before me. 
37 It will be established forever like the moon,
The faithful witness in the sky.”
Selah. 
38 But you have rejected and spurned.
You have been angry with your anointed. 
39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant.
You have defiled his crown in the dust. 
40 You have broken down all his hedges.
You have brought his strongholds to ruin. 
41 All who pass by the way rob him.
He has become a reproach to his neighbors. 
42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries.
You have made all of his enemies rejoice. 
43 Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword,
And haven’t supported him in battle. 
44 You have ended his splendor,
And thrown his throne down to the ground. 
45 You have shortened the days of his youth.
You have covered him with shame.
Selah. 
46How long, LORD?
Will you hide yourself forever?
Will your wrath burn like fire? 
47 Remember how short my time is!
For what vanity have you created all the children of men! 
48 What man is he who shall live and not see death,
Who shall deliver his soul from the power of She’ol?
Selah. 
49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses,
Which you swore to David in your faithfulness? 
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants,
How I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples, 
51 With which your enemies have mocked, LORD,
With which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one. 
52 Blessed be the LORD forevermore.
Amein, and Amein.

PSALMS: 119

1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
Who walk according to the law of the LORD. 
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes,
Who seek him with their whole heart. 
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong.
They walk in his ways. 
4 You have commanded your precepts,
That we should fully obey them. 
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast
To obey your statutes! 
6 Then I wouldn’t be put to shame,
When I consider all of your mitzvot. 
7  I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart,
When I learn your righteous judgments. 
8 I will observe your statutes.
Don’t utterly forsake me. 
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word. 
10 With my whole heart, I have sought you.
Don’t let me wander from your mitzvot. 
11 I have hidden your word in my heart,
That I might not sin against you. 
12 Blessed are you, LORD.
Teach me your statutes.
13 With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
As much as in all riches. 
15 I will meditate on your precepts,
And consider your ways.
16 I will delight myself in your statutes.
I will not forget your word.
17 Do good to your servant.
I will live and I will obey your word.
18 Open my eyes,
That I may see wondrous things out of your law.
19 I am a stranger on the eretz.
Don’t hide your mitzvot from me.
20 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times. 
21 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed,
Who wander from your mitzvot. 
22 Take reproach and contempt away from me,
For I have kept your statutes. 
23 Though princes sit and slander me,
Your servant will meditate on your statutes. 
24 Indeed your statutes are my delight,
And my counselors. 
25 My soul is laid low in the dust.
Revive me according to your word! 
26 I declared my ways, and you answered me.
Teach me your statutes. 
27  Let me understand the teaching of your precepts!
Then I will meditate on your wondrous works. 
28 My soul is weary with sorrow.
Strengthen me according to your word. 
29 Keep me from the way of deceit.
Grant me your law graciously! 
30 I have chosen the way of truth.
I have set my heart on your law. 
31 I cling to your statutes, LORD.
Don’t let me be put to shame. 
32 I run in the path of your mitzvot,
For you have set my heart free. 
33 Teach me, LORD, the way of your statutes.
I will keep them to the end. 
34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law.
Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart. 
35 Direct me in the path of your mitzvot,
For I delight in them. 
36 Turn my heart toward your statutes,
Not toward selfish gain. 
37 Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things.
Revive me in your ways. 
38 Fulfill your promise to your servant,
That you may be feared. 
39 Take away my disgrace that I dread,
For your ordinances are good.
40 Behold, I long for your precepts!
Revive me in your righteousness. 
41 Let your loving kindness also come to me, LORD,
Your yeshuah, according to your word.

42 So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in your word.

43 Don't snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, For I put my hope in your ordinances.

44 So I will obey your law continually, Forever and ever. 45 I will walk in liberty, For I have sought your precepts.

46 I will also speak of your statutes before kings, And will not be put to shame. 47 I will delight myself in your mitzvot, Because I love them.

48 I reach out my hands for your mitzvot, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes.

49 Remember your word to your servant, Because you gave me hope.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction, For your word has revived me.

51 The arrogant mock me excessively, But I don't swerve from your law.

52 I remember your ordinances of old, LORD, And have comforted myself.

53& Indignation has taken hold on me, Because of the wicked who forsake your law.

54 Your statutes have been my songs, In the house where I live.55 I have remembered your name, LORD, in the night, And I obey your law. 56 This is my way, That I keep your precepts.

57 The LORD is my portion. I promised to obey your words.

58 I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.

59 I considered my ways, And turned my steps to your statutes.

60 I will hurry, and not delay, To obey your mitzvot.

61 The ropes of the wicked bind me, But I won't forget your law.

62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, Because of your righteous ordinances.

63& I am a friend of all those who fear you, Of those who observe your precepts.

64 The eretz is full of your loving kindness, LORD. Teach me your statutes.

65 Do good to your servant, According to your word, LORD.

66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, For I believe in your mitzvot.

67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; But now I observe your word.

68 You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.

69 The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.

70 Their heart is as callous as the fat, But I delight in your law

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn your statutes.

72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. 73 Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your mitzvot.

74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad, Because I have put my hope in your word. 75 LORD, I know that your judgments are righteous, That in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

76 Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, According to your word to your servant.

77 Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; For your law is my delight.

78 Let the proud be put to shame, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

79 Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.

80 Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, That I may not be put to shame. 81 My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you comfort me?"

83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don't forget your statutes. 84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?

85 The proud have dug pits for me, Contrary to your law.

86 All of your mitzvot are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!&

87 They had almost wiped me from the eretz, But I didn't forsake your precepts.

8 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, So I will obey the statutes of your mouth.

89 LORD, your word is settled in heaven forever.

0 Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the eretz, and it remains.

91 Your laws remain to this day, For all things serve you.

92 Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.

3 I will never forget your precepts, For with them, you have revived me.

94 I am yours. Save me, For I have sought your precepts.

95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.

96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, But your commands are boundless.

97 How love I your law! It is my meditation all day.

98 Your mitzvot make me wiser than my enemies, For your mitzvot are always with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, For your testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the aged, Because I have kept your precepts.

101 I have kept my feet from every evil way, That I might observe your word.

102 I have not turned aside from your ordinances, For you have taught me.

103 How sweet are your promises to my taste, More than honey to my mouth!

104 Through your precepts, I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, And a light for my path.

106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will obey your righteous ordinances.

107 I am afflicted very much. Revive me, LORD, according to your word.

108 Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. LORD, teach me your ordinances.

109 My soul is continually in my hand, Yet I won't forget your law.

110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, Yet I haven't gone astray from your precepts. 111 I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, For they are the joy of my heart.

112 I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever, Even to the end.

113 I hate double-minded men, But I love your law.

114 You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.

115 Depart from me, you evildoers, That I may keep the mitzvot of my God.

116 Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Hold me up, and I will be safe, And will have respect for your statutes continually.

118 You reject all those who stray from your statutes, For their deceit is in vain.

119 You put away all the wicked of the eretz like dross. Therefore I love your testimonies.

120 My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments.

121 I have done what is just and righteous. Don't leave me to my oppressors.

122 Ensure your servant's well-being. Don't let the proud oppress me.

123 My eyes fail watching for your yeshuah,
For your righteous word. 
124 Deal with your servant according to your loving kindness.
Teach me your statutes. 
125 I am your servant.
Give me understanding,
That I may know your testimonies. 
126 It is time to act, LORD,
For they break your law. 
127 Therefore I love your mitzvot more than gold,
Yes, more than pure gold. 
128 Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right.
I hate every false way. 
129 Your testimonies are wonderful,
Therefore my soul keeps them. 
130 The entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple. 
131 I opened my mouth wide and panted,
For I longed for your mitzvot. 
132 Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
As you always do to those who love your name. 
133 Establish my footsteps in your word.
Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me. 
134 Redeem me from the oppression of man,
So I will observe your precepts. 
135 Make your face to shine on your servant.
Teach me your statutes. 
136 Streams of tears run down my eyes,
Because they don’t observe your law.
137 You are righteous, LORD.
your judgments are upright. 
138 You have commanded your statutes in righteousness.
They are fully trustworthy. 
139 My zeal wears me out,
Because my enemies ignore your words. 
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
And your servant loves them. 
141 I am small and despised.
I don’t forget your precepts. 
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness.
Your law is truth. 
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me.
Your mitzvot are my delight. 
144 Your testimonies are righteous forever.
Give me understanding, that I may live. 
145 I have called with my whole heart.
Answer me, LORD!
I will keep your statutes. 
146 I have called to you. Save me!
I will obey your statutes. 
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help.
I put my hope in your words. 
148 My eyes stay open through the night watches,
That I might meditate on your word. 
149 Hear my voice according to your loving kindness.
Revive me, LORD, according to your ordinances.
150 They draw near who follow after wickedness.
They are far from your law. 
151 You are near, LORD.
All your mitzvot are truth. 
152 Of old I have known from your testimonies,
That you have founded them forever. 
153 Consider my affliction, and deliver me,
For I don’t forget your law. 
154 Plead my cause, and redeem me!
Revive me according to your promise. 
155 Salvation is far from the wicked,
For they don’t seek your statutes. 
156 Great are your tender mercies, LORD.
Revive me according to your ordinances. 
157 Many are my persecutors and my adversaries.
I haven’t swerved from your testimonies. 
158 I look at the faithless with loathing,
Because they don’t observe your word. 
159 Consider how I love your precepts.
Revive me, LORD, according to your loving kindness. 
160 All of your words are truth.
Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever. 
161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause,
But my heart stands in awe of your words. 
162 I rejoice at your word,
As one who finds great spoil. 
163 I hate and abhor falsehood.
I love your law. 
164 Seven times a day, I praise you,
Because of your righteous ordinances. 
165 Those who love your law have great shalom.
Nothing causes them to stumble. 
166 I have hoped for your yeshuah, LORD. I have done your mitzvot.

167 My soul has observed your testimonies. I love them exceedingly.

168 I have obeyed your precepts and your testimonies, For all my ways are before you.

169 Let my cry come before you, LORD. Give me understanding according to your word.

170 Let my supplication come before you. Deliver me according to your word.

171 Let my lips utter praise, For you teach me your statutes.

172 Let my tongue sing of your word, For all your mitzvot are righteousness.

173 Let your hand be ready to help me, For I have chosen your precepts. 174 I have longed for your yeshuah, LORD.
Your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, that I may praise you.
Let your ordinances help me. 
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep.
Seek your servant, for I don’t forget your mitzvot.

PROVERBS: 29

1 He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck
Will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy. 
2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
But when the wicked rule, the people groan. 
3 Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father;
But a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. 
4 The king by justice makes the land stable,
But he who takes bribes tears it down. 
5 A man who flatters his neighbor,
Spreads a net for his feet. 
6 An evil man is snared by his sin,
But the righteous can sing and be glad. 
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor.
The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge. 
8 Mockers stir up a city,
But wise men turn away anger.
9 If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,
The fool rages or scoffs, and there is no shalom. 
10 The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity;
And they seek the life of the upright. 
11 A fool vents all of his anger,
But a wise man brings himself under control. 
12 If a ruler listens to lies,
All of his officials are wicked. 
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both. 
14 The king who fairly judges the poor,
His throne shall be established forever. 
15 The rod of correction gives wisdom,
But a child left to himself causes shame to his mother. 
16 When the wicked increase, sin increases;
But the righteous will see their downfall. 
17  Correct your son, and he will give you shalom;
Yes, he will bring delight to your soul. 
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But one who keeps the law is blessed. 
19 A servant can’t be corrected by words.
Though he understands, yet he will not respond. 
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him. 
21 He who pampers his servant from youth
Will have him become a son in the end. 
22 An angry man stirs up strife,
And a wrathful man abounds in sin. 
23 A man’s pride brings him low,
But one who is of a lowly spirit gains honor. 
24 Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul.
He takes an oath, but dares not testify. 
25 The fear of man proves to be a snare,
But whoever puts his trust in the LORD is kept safe. 
26 Many seek the ruler’s favor,
But a man’s justice comes from the LORD. 
27 A dishonest man detests the righteous,
And the upright in their ways detest the wicked.

OLD TESTAMENT: ZEPHANIAH 1:1 – 3:30

1:1 The word of the LORD which came to Tzefanyah, the son of Kushi, the son of Gedalyahu, the son of Amaryah, the son of Hizkiyahu, in the days of Yoshiyahu, the son of Amon, king of Yehudah. 2 I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the eretz, says the LORD. 3 I will sweep away man and animal. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and the heaps of rubble with the wicked. I will cut off man from the surface of the eretz, says the LORD. 4 I will stretch out my hand against Yehudah, and against all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place: the name of the idolatrous and pagan Kohanim,

5 those who worship the host of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malkam,

6 those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven't sought the LORD nor inquired after him.

7 Be silent at the presence of the Lord GOD, for the day of the LORD is at hand. For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.

8 It will happen in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, the king's sons, and all those who as are clothed with foreign clothing.

9 In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.

10 In that day, says the LORD, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.

11 Wail, you inhabitants of Makhtesh, for all the people of Kanaan are undone! All those who were laden with silver are cut off. 12 It will happen at that time, that I will search Yerushalayim with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, “The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.”13 Their wealth will become a spoil, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won’t inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won’t drink their wine. 14 The great day of the LORD is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of the LORD. The mighty man cries there bitterly. 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, 16 a day of the shofar and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements. 17 I will bring distress on men, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

2:1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame, 2 before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes on you, before the day of the LORD’s anger comes on you. 
3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD’s anger. 4 For Aza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and ‘Ekron will be rooted up. 5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Kereti! The word of the LORD is against you, Kanaan, the land of the Pelishtim. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.

6 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.

7 The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Yehudah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for the LORD, their God, will visit them, and restore them.

8 I have heard the reproach of Mo'av, and the insults of the children of ‘Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. 9 Therefore as I live, says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra’el, surely Mo’av will be as Sedom, and the children of Ammon as ‘Amorah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them. 10 This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of Hosts. 11 The LORD will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations. 12 You Kushi also, you will be killed by my sword. 13 He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Ashshur, and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness. 14 Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the ka`at and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams. 15 This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is none besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.

3:1 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city! 2 She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in the LORD. She didn’t draw near to her God. 3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day. 4 Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her Kohanim have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law. 5 The LORD, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame. 6 I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant. 7 I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her.” But they rose early and corrupted all their doings. 8 “Therefore wait for me,” says the LORD, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the eretz will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. 9 For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of the LORD, to serve him shoulder to shoulder. 10 From beyond the rivers of Kush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering. 11 In that day you will not be put to shame for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain. 12 But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the name of the LORD. 13 The remnant of Yisra’el will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.” 14 Sing, daughter of Tziyon! Shout, Yisra’el! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Yerushalayim. 15 The LORD has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Yisra’el, the LORD, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any more. 16 In that day, it will be said to Yerushalayim, “Don’t be afraid, Tziyon. Don’t let your hands be slack.” 17  The LORD, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will rest in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing. 18 Those who are sad for the appointed feasts, I will remove from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you. 19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the eretz. 20 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the eretz, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, says the LORD.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 10:1 – 11

1 I saw another mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 
2 He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land. 
3 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 
4 When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.” 
5 The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky, 
6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the eretz and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay, 
7  but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets. 
8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.” 
9 I went to the angel, saying, “Give me the little book.” He said to me, “Take it, and eat it up. It will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” 
10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.
11 He told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”

PSALMS: 28, 58, 88, 118, 148

PROVERBS: 28

OLD TESTAMENT: HABAKKUK 1:1 – 3:19

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 9:1 – 21

PSALMS: 28

1 To you, LORD, I call.
My rock, don’t be deaf to me;
Lest, if you are silent to me,
I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
When I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. 
3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
With the workers of iniquity who speak shalom with their neighbors,
But mischief is in their hearts. 
4 Give them according to their work,
and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve. 
5 Because they don’t regard the works of the LORD,
Nor the operation of his hands,
He will break them down and not build them up. 
6 Blessed be the LORD,
Because he has heard the voice of my petitions. 
7  The LORD is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.
With my song I will thank him. 
8 The LORD is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. 
9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

PSALMS: 58

1 Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones?
Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men? 
2 No, in your heart you plot injustice.
You measure out the violence of your hands in the eretz. 
3 The wicked go astray from the womb.
They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies. 
4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake;
Like a deaf cobra that stops its ear, 
5 Which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers,
No matter how skillful the charmer may be. 
6Break their teeth, God, in their mouth.
Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD. 
7 Let them vanish as water that flows away.
When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt. 
8 Let them be as a snail which melts and passes away,
Like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun. 
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,
He will sweep away, the green and the burning alike. 
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance.
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; 
11 So that men shall say, “Most assuredly there is a reward for the righteous.
Most assuredly there is a God who judges the eretz.”

PSALMS: 88

1 LORD, the God of my salvation,
I have cried day and night before you. 
2 Let my prayer enter into your presence.
Turn your ear to my cry. 
3 For my soul is full of troubles.
My life draws near to She’ol. 
4 I am counted among those who go down into the pit.
I am like a man who has no help, 
5 Set apart among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom you remember no more.
They are cut off from your hand. 
6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,
In the darkest depths. 
7  Your wrath lies heavily on me.
You have afflicted me with all your waves.
Selah. 
8 You have taken my friends from me.
You have made me an abomination to them.
I am confined, and I can’t escape. 
9 My eyes are dim from grief.
I have called on you daily, LORD.
I have spread out my hands to you. 
10 Do you show wonders to the dead?
Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah.
11 Is your loving kindness declared in the grave?
Or your faithfulness in Destruction? 
12 Are your wonders made known in the dark?
Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 
13 But to you, LORD, I have cried.
In the morning, my prayer comes before you. 
14 LORD, why do you reject my soul?
Why do you hide your face from me? 
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up.
While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted. 
16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me.
Your terrors have cut me off. 
17 They came around me like water all day long.
They completely engulfed me. 
18 You have put lover and friend far from me,
And my friends into darkness.

PSALMS: 148

1 Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from the heavens!
Praise him in the heights! 
2 Praise him, all his angels!
Praise him, all his host!
3 Praise him, sun and moon!
Praise him, all you shining stars! 
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens,
You waters that are above the heavens. 
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, ‘
For he commanded, and they were created. 
6 He has also established them forever and ever.
He has made a decree which will not pass away. 
7 Praise the LORD from the eretz,
You great sea creatures, and all depths! 
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling his word; 
9 Mountains and all hills;
Fruit trees and all cedars; 
10 Wild animals and all cattle;
Small creatures and flying birds; 
11 Kings of the eretz and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the eretz; 
12 Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children: 
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For his name alone is exalted.
His glory is above the eretz and the heavens. 
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people,
The praise of all his holy ones;
Even of the children of Yisra’el, a people near to him.
Praise the LORD!

PROVERBS: 28

1 The wicked flee when no one pursues;
But the righteous are as bold as a lion. 
2 In rebellion, a land has many rulers,
But order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge. 
3 A needy man who oppresses the poor
Is like a driving rain which leaves no crops. 
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked;
But those who keep the law contend with them. 
5 Evil men don’t understand justice;
But those who seek the LORD understand it fully. 
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity,
Than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich. 
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son;
But he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father. 
8 He who increases his wealth by excessive interest
Gathers it for one who has pity on the poor. 
9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination. 
10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way,
He will fall into his own trap;
But the blameless will inherit good. 
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes;
But the poor who has understanding sees through him. 
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory;
But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. 
13 He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper,
But whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. 
14 Blessed is the man who always fears;
But one who hardens his heart falls into trouble. 
15 As a roaring lion or a charging bear,
So is a wicked ruler over helpless people. 
16 The ruler who lacks judgment is a great tyrant.
One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
17 A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death;
No one will support him. 
18 Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe;
But one with perverse ways will fall suddenly. 
19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food;
But one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. 
20 A faithful man is rich with blessings;
But one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 To show partiality is not good;
Yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. 
22 A stingy man hurries after riches,
And doesn’t know that poverty waits for him. 
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor
Than one who flatters with the tongue. 
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says,
“It’s not wrong.”
He is a partner with a destroyer. 
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife;
But one who trusts in the LORD will prosper. 
26 One who trusts in himself is a fool;
But one who walks in wisdom, he is kept safe. 
27 One who gives to the poor has no lack;
But one who closes his eyes will have many curses. 
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;
But when they perish, the righteous thrive.

OLD TESTAMENT: HABAKKUK 1:1 – 3:19

1:1 The oracle which Havakkuk the prophet saw. 2 LORD, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save? 3 Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up. 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted. 5 “Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days, which you will not believe though it is told you. 6 For, behold, I raise up the Kasdim, that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the eretz, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. 7  They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. 8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour. 9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand. 10 Yes, he scoffs at kings, and princes are a derision to him. He laughs at every stronghold, for he builds up an earthen ramp, and takes it. 11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god.” 12 Aren’t you from everlasting, LORD my God, my Holy One? We will not die. LORD, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish. 13 You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, 14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net, and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious, and his food is good. 17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill the nations without mercy?

2:1 I will stand at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. 2 The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay. 4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith. 5 Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as She’ol, and he is like death, and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples. 6 Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’ 7 Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim? 8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it. 9 Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! 10 You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul. 11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it. 12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity! 13 Behold, isn’t it of the LORD of Hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? 14 For the eretz will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 15 “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies! 16 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. 17 For the violence done to Levanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them. 18 “What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols? 19 Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. 20 But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the eretz be silent before him!”

3:1 A prayer of Havakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music. 2 LORD, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Renew your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy. 3 God came from Teman, The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And his praise filled the eretz. 4 His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden. 5 Plague went before him, And pestilence followed his feet. 6 He stood, and shook the eretz. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal. 7  I saw the tents of Kushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midyan trembled. 8 Was the LORD displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, Or your wrath against the sea, That you rode on your horses, On your chariots of salvation? 9 You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the eretz with rivers. 10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high. 11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky, At the light of your arrows as they went, At the shining of your glittering spear. 12 You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger. 13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, For the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. Selah. 14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, Gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret. 15 You trampled the sea with your horses, Churning mighty waters. 16 I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people who invade us. 17 For though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, Nor fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive fails, The fields yield no food; The flocks are cut off from the fold, And there is no herd in the stalls: 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! 19 The LORD, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, And enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 9:1 – 21

9:1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky fallen to the eretz. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. 
2 He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. 
3 Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the eretz, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the eretz have power. 
4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the eretz, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads. 
5 They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a man. 
6 In those days men will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them. 
7  The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like gold crowns, and their faces were like men’s faces. 
8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions. 
9 They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war. 
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm men for five months. 
11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Avaddon,” but in Yevanit, he has the name “Apollyon.”
12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this. 
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 
14 saying to the sixth angel who had one shofar, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Perat.” 
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of mankind. 
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them. 
17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur. 
18 By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths. 
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm. 
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk. 
21 They didn’t repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.

OLD TESTAMENT: NAHUM 1:1 – 3:19

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 8:1 – 13

Psalms 27

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid? 
2 When evil-doers came at me to eat up my flesh,
Even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 
3 Though a host should encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
Even then I will be confident. 
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after,
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To see the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in his temple. 
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion.
In the covert of his tent will he hide me.
He will lift me up on a rock. 
6 Now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies around me.
I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. 
7 Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice.
Have mercy also on me, and answer me. 
8 When you said, “Seek my face,”
My heart said to you,
“I will seek your face, LORD.” 
9 Don’t hide your face from me.
Don’t put your servant away in anger.
You have been my help.
Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me,
God of my salvation. 
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take me up. 
11 Teach me your way, LORD.
Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,
For false witnesses have risen up against me,
Such as breathe out cruelty. 
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 
14 Wait for the LORD.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage.
Yes, wait for the LORD.

PSALMS: 57

1 Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,
For my soul takes refuge in you.
Yes, in the shadow of your wings,
I will take refuge,
Until disaster has passed. 
2 I cry out to El `Elyon,
To God who accomplishes my requests for me. 
3 He will send from heaven, and save me,
He rebukes the one who is pursuing me.
Selah.
God will send out his loving kindness and his truth. 
4 My soul is among lions.
I lie among those who are set on fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword. 
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be above all the eretz! 
6 They have prepared a net for my steps.
My soul is bowed down.
They dig a pit before me.
They fall into the midst of it themselves.
Selah. 
7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast.
I will sing, yes,
I will sing praises. 
8 Wake up, my glory!
Wake up, psaltery and harp!
I will wake up the dawn. 
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples.
I will sing praises to you among the nations. 
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens,
And your truth to the skies. 
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the eretz.

PSALMS: 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains. 
2 The LORD loves the gates of Tziyon More than all the dwellings of Ya`akov. 
3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God.
Selah. 
4 I will record Rachav and Bavel among those who acknowledge me.
Behold, Peleshet, Tzor, and also Kush:
“This one was born there.” 
5 Yes, of Tziyon it will be said,
“This one and that one was born in her;”
The Elyon himself will establish her. 
6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples,
“This one was born there.”
Selah. 
7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “
All my springs are in you.”

PSALMS: 117

1 Praise the LORD, all you nations!
Extol him, all you peoples! 
2 For his loving kindness is great toward us.
The LORD’s faithfulness endures forever.
Praise the LORD!

PSALMS: 147

1 Praise the LORD,
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and fitting to praise him. 
2 The LORD builds up Yerushalayim.
He gathers together the outcasts of Yisra’el. 
3 He heals the broken in heart,
And binds up their wounds. 
4 He counts the number of the stars.
He calls them all by their names. 
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.
His understanding is infinite. 
6 The LORD upholds the humble.
He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7  Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving.
Sing praises on the harp to our God, 
8 Who covers the sky with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the eretz,
Who makes grass grow on the mountains. 
9 He provides food for the cattle,
And for the young ravens when they call. 
10 He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse.
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 
11 The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him,
In those who hope in his loving kindness. 
12 Praise the LORD, Yerushalayim!
Praise your God, Tziyon! 
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.
He has blessed your children within you. 
14He makes shalom in your borders.
He fills you with the finest of the wheat. 
15 He sends out his mitzvah on eretz.
His word runs very swiftly. 
16 He gives snow like wool,
And scatters frost like ashes.
17  He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can stand before his cold? 
18 He sends out his word, and melts them.
He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 
19 He shows his word to Ya`akov;
His statutes and his ordinances to Yisra’el. 
20 He has not done this for any nation;
They don’t know his ordinances.
Praise the LORD!

PROVERBS: 27

1 Don’t boast about tomorrow;
For you don’t know what a day may bring forth. 
2 Let another man praise you,
And not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips. 
3 A stone is heavy, And sand is a burden;
But a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. 
4 Wrath is cruel,
And anger is overwhelming;
But who is able to stand before jealousy? 
5 Better is open rebuke Than hidden love. 
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
Although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb;
But to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet. 
8 As a bird that wanders from her nest,
So is a man who wanders from his home. 
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
So does earnest counsel from a man’s friend. 
10 Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster:
Better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother. 
11 Be wise, my son,
And bring joy to my heart,
Then I can answer my tormentor. 
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
But the simple pass on, and suffer for it:
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger;
Hold it for a wayward woman! 
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
It will be taken as a curse by him.
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day
And a contentious wife are alike: 
16 Restraining her is like restraining the wind,
Or like grasping oil in his right hand. 
17 Iron sharpens iron;
So a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. 
18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.
He who looks after his master shall be honored. 
19 As water reflects a face,
So a man’s heart reflects the man. 
20 She’ol and Avaddon are never satisfied;
And a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
21 The crucible is for silver,
And the furnace for gold;
But man is refined by his praise. 
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
Yet his foolishness will not be removed from him. 
23 Know well the state of your flocks,
And pay attention to your herds: 
24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does even the crown endure to all generations. 
25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears,
The grasses of the hills are gathered in. 
26 The lambs are for your clothing,
And the goats are the price of a field. 
27 There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food,
For your family’s food,
And for the nourishment of your servant girls.

OLD TESTAMENT: NAHUM 1:1 – 3:19

1:1 An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nachum the Elkoshite. 2 The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies. 3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Karmel; and the flower of Levanon languishes. 5 The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The eretz trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it. 6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him. 7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him. 8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness. 9 What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time. 10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble. 11 There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness. 12 Thus says the LORD: “Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more. 13 Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.” 14 The LORD has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.” 15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes shalom! Keep your feasts, Yehudah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.

2:1 He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your loins! Fortify your power mightily! 2 For the LORD restores the excellency of Ya`akov, as the excellency of Yisra’el; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined their vine branches. 3 The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished. 4 The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth in the broad ways. Their appearance is like torches. They run like the lightnings. 5 He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place. 6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved. 7 It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts. 8 But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back. 9 Take the spoil of silver. Take the spoil of gold, for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture. 10 She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale. 11 Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, the lion’s cubs, and no one made them afraid? 12 The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill, and his dens with prey. 13 “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the eretz, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”

3:1 Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. The prey doesn’t depart. 2 The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots, 3 the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies, 4 because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft. 5 “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. 6 I will throw abominable filth on you, and make you vile, and will set you a spectacle. 7 It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste Who will mourn for her?’ Where will I seek comforters for you?” 8 Are you better than No-Amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea? 9 Kush and Mitzrayim were her boundless strength. Put and Luvim were her helpers. 10 Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains. 11 You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy. 12 All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater. 13 Behold, your troops in your midst are women. The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars. 14 Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong. 15 There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the khagav. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the arbeh. 16 You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away. 17 Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are. 18 Your shepherds slumber, king of Ashshur. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them. 19 There is no healing your wound, for your injury is fatal. All who hear the report of you clap their hands over you; for who hasn’t felt your endless cruelty?

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATIONS 8:1 – 13

8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yeshua, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua made me free from the law of sin and of death. 
3 For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; 
4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 
5 For those who are after the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 
6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and shalom; 
7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be. 
8 Those who are in the flesh can’t please God. 
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Messiah, he is not his. 
10 If Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Messiah Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 
13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

PROVERBS: 26

OLD TESTAMENT: MICAH 5:1 – 7:20

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 7:1 – 17

PSALMS: 26

1 Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity.
I have trusted also in LORD without wavering. 
2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me.
Try my heart and my mind. 
3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes.
I have walked in your truth. 
4 I have not sat with deceitful men,
Neither will I go in with hypocrites. 
5 I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And will not sit with the wicked. 
6 I will wash my hands in innocence,
So I will go about your altar, LORD; 
7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all your wondrous works. 
8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house,
The place where your glory dwells. 
9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with bloodthirsty men; 
10 In whose hands is wickedness,
Their right hand is full of bribes. 
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me, and be merciful to me. 
12 My foot stands in an even place.
In the congregations will I bless the LORD.

PSALMS: 56

1 Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up.
All day long, he attacks and oppresses me. 
2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long,
For they are many who fight proudly against me. 
3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. 
4 In God, I praise his word. In God,
I put my trust. I will not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? 
5 All day long they twist my words.
All their thoughts are against me for evil. 
6 They conspire and lurk,
Watching my steps, they are eager to take my life. 
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? I
n anger cast down the peoples, God. 
8 You number my wanderings.
You put my tears into your bottle.
Aren’t they in your book? 
9 Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call.
I know this, that God is for me. 
10 In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD,
I will praise his word. 
11 I have put my trust in God.
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? 
12 Your vows are on me, God.
I will give thank offerings to you. 
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
And prevented my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God in the light of the living.

PSALMS: 86

1 Hear, LORD, and answer me,
For I am poor and needy. 
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly.
You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you. 
3 Be merciful to me, Lord,
For I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant,
For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul. 
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;
Abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you. 
6 Hear, LORD, my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my petitions. 
7  In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
For you will answer me. 
8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,
Nor any deeds like your deeds. 
9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
They shall glorify your name. 
10 For you are great, and do wondrous things.
You are God alone. 
11 Teach me your way, LORD.
I will walk in your truth.
Make my heart undivided to fear your name. 
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.
I will glorify your name forevermore. 
13 For your loving kindness is great toward me.
You have delivered my soul from the lowest She’ol. 
14 God, the proud have risen up against me.
A company of violent men have sought after my soul,
And they don’t hold regard for you before them. 
15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
Slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth. 
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give your strength to your servant.
Save the son of your handmaid. 
17  Show me a sign of your goodness,
That those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,
Because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

PSALMS: 116

1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,
And my cries for mercy. 
2 Because he has turned his ear to me,
Therefore I will call on him as long as I live. 
3 The cords of death surrounded me,
The pains of She’ol got a hold on me.
I found trouble and sorrow. 
4 Then called I on the name of the LORD:
“The LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.” 
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
Yes, our God is merciful. 
6 The LORD preserves the simple.
I was brought low, and he saved me. 
7 Return to your rest, my soul,
For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. 
8 For you have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling. 
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 
10 I believed, therefore I said,
“I was greatly afflicted.” 
11 I said in my haste,
“All men are liars.” 
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation,
and call on the name of the LORD. 
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
Yes, in the presence of all his people. 
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his holy ones. 
16 LORD, truly I am your servant.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid.
You have freed me from my chains. 
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call on the name of the LORD. 
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
Yes, in the presence of all his people, 
19 In the courts of the LORD’s house,
In the midst of you, Yerushalayim.
Praise the LORD!

PSALMS: 146

1 Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, my soul. 
2 While I live, I will praise the LORD.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist. 
3 Don’t put your trust in princes,
Each a son of man in whom there is no help. 
4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the eretz.
In that very day, his thoughts perish. 
5 Happy is he who has the God of Ya`akov for his help,
Whose hope is in the LORD, his God: 
6 Who made heaven and eretz,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever; 
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD frees the prisoners. 
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD raises up those who are bowed down.
The LORD loves the righteous. 
9 The LORD preserves the sojourners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
But the way of the wicked he turns upside down. 
10 The LORD will reign forever;
Your God, O Tziyon, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

PROVERBS: 26

1 Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool. 
2 Like a fluttering sparrow,
Like a darting swallow,
So the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest. 
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the back of fools! 
4 Don’t answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest you also be like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest he be wise in his own eyes. 
6 One who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Is cutting off feet and drinking violence. 
7 Like the legs of the lame that hang loose:
So is a parable in the mouth of fools. 
8 As one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is he who gives honor to a fool. 
9 Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard,
So is a parable in the mouth of fools. 
10 As an archer who wounds all,
So is he who hires a fool
Or he who hires those who pass by. 
11 As a dog that returns to his vomit,
So is a fool who repeats his folly. 
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him. 
13 The sluggard says,
“There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion roams the streets!” 
14 As the door turns on its hinges,
So does the sluggard on his bed. 
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish.
He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. 
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who answer with discretion. 
17 Like one who seizes a dog’s ears
Is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own. 
18 Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death, 
19 Is the man who deceives his neighbor and says,
“Am I not joking?” 
20 For lack of wood the fire goes out;
Where there is no gossip, a quarrel dies down. 
21 As coals are to hot embers, And wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
They go down into the innermost parts. 
23 Like silver dross on an earthen vessel
Are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart. 
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
But he harbors evil in his heart. 
25 When his speech is charming, don’t believe him;
For there are seven abominations in his heart: 
26 His malice may be concealed by deception,
But his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. 
27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. ‘
Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him. 
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts;
And a flattering mouth works ruin.

OLD TESTAMENT: MICAH 5:1 – 7:20

5:1 Now you shall gather yourself in troops, Daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us; They will strike the judge of Yisra’el with a rod on the cheek. 2 But you, Beit-Lechem Efratah, Being small among the clans of Yehudah, Out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Yisra’el; Whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. 3 Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Yisra’el. 4 He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, In the majesty of the name of the LORD his God: And they will live, for then he will be great to the ends of the eretz. 5 He will be our shalom when Ashshur invades our land, And when he marches through our fortresses, Then we will raise against him seven shepherds, And eight leaders of men. 6 They will rule the land of Ashshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Ashshur, When he invades our land, And when he marches within our border. 7  The remnant of Yaakov will be in the midst of many peoples, Like dew from the LORD, Like showers on the grass, That don't wait for man, Nor wait for the sons of men.

8 The remnant of Yaakov will be among the nations, In the midst of many peoples, Like a lion among the animals of the forest, Like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; Who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, And there is no one to deliver. 9 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, And let all of your enemies be cut off. 10 “It will happen in that day,” says the LORD, “That I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, And will destroy your chariots. 11 I will cut off the cities of your land, And will tear down all your strongholds. 12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand; And you shall have no soothsayers. 13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of your midst; And you shall no more worship the work of your hands. 14 I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; And I will destroy your cities. 15 I will execute vengeance in anger, And wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”

6:1 Listen now to what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, And let the hills hear what you have to say. 2 Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s controversy, And you enduring foundations of the eretz; For the LORD has a controversy with his people, And he will contend with Yisra’el. 3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me! 4 For I brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim, And redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moshe, Aharon, and Miryam. 5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Mo’av devised, And what Bilam the son of Be'or answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, That you may know the righteous acts of the LORD."

6 How shall I come before the LORD, And bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, With calves a year old?

7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

9 The LORD's voice calls to the city, And wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, And he who appointed it.

10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, And a short efah that is accursed?

11 Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, And with a bag of deceitful weights?

12 Her rich men are full of violence, Her inhabitants speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their speech.

13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.

14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; And that which you save I will give up to the sword.

15 You will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; And crush grapes, but won't drink the wine.

16 For the statutes of ‘Omri are kept, And all the works of the house of Ach’av. You walk in their counsels, That I may make you a ruin, And her inhabitants a hissing; And you will bear the reproach of my people.”

7:1 Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vinyard: There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig. 2 The godly man has perished out of the eretz, And there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; Every man hunts his brother with a net. 3 Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; And the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together. 4 The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, Even your visitation, has come; Now is the time of their confusion. 5 Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, Be careful of the words of your mouth! 6 For the son dishonors the father, The daughter rises up against her mother, The daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man’s enemies are the men of his own house. 7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. 8 Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. 9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, Because I have sinned against him, Until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. I will see his righteousness. 10 Then my enemy will see it, And shame will cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD your God? Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets. 11 A day to build your walls — In that day, he will extend your boundary. 12 In that day they will come to you from Ashshur and the cities of Mitzrayim, And from Mitzrayim even to the River, And from sea to sea, And mountain to mountain. 13 Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, For the fruit of their doings. 14 Shepherd your people with your staff, The flock of your heritage, Who dwell by themselves in a forest, In the midst of fertile pasture land, let them feed; In Bashan and Gilad, as in the days of old.

15 "As in the days of your coming forth out of the land of Mitzrayim, I will show them marvelous things."

16 The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.

17 They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the eretz they shall come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to the LORD our God, And will be afraid because of you.

18 Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, And passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn't retain his anger forever, Because he delights in lovingkindness.

19 He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; And you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

20 You will give truth to Yaakov, and mercy to Avraham, As you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 7:1 – 17

1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the eretz, holding the four winds of the eretz, so that no wind would blow on the eretz, or on the sea, or on any tree. 
2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the eretz and the sea, 
3 saying, “Don’t harm the eretz, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!” 
4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Yisra’el: 
5 Of the tribe of Yehudah were sealed twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Re’uven twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, 
6 Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Naftali twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Menashsheh twelve thousand, 
7 Of the tribe of Shim`on twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Yissakhar twelve thousand, 
8 Of the tribe of Zevulun twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Yosef twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Binyamin were sealed twelve thousand. 
9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. 
10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 
11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the Zakenim, and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God, 
12 saying, “Amein! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amein.” 
13 One of the Zakenim answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?” 
14 I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood. 
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. 
16 They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat; 
17  for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to living springs of waters. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

OLD TESTAMENT: MICAH 1:1 – 4:13

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 6:1 – 17

PSALMS: 25

1 To you, LORD, do I lift up my soul. 
2 My God, in you have I trusted,
Let me not be put to shame.
Don’t let my enemies triumph over me. 
3 Yes, no one who waits for you shall be put to shame.
They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause. 
4 Show me your ways, LORD.
Teach me your paths. 
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me,
For you are the God of my salvation,
I wait for you all day long. 
6 LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,
For they are from old times. 
7 Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
Remember me according to your loving kindness,
For your goodness’ sake, LORD. 
8 Good and upright is the LORD,
Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 He will guide the humble in justice.
He will teach the humble his way. 
10 All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth
To such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 
11 For your name’s sake, LORD,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. 
12 What man is he who fears the LORD?
He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose. 
13 His soul shall dwell at ease.
His seed shall inherit the land. 
14 The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him.
He will show them his covenant. 
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD,
For he will pluck my feet out of the net. 
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am desolate and afflicted. 
17  The troubles of my heart are enlarged.
Oh bring me out of my distresses. 
18 Consider my affliction and my travail.
Forgive all my sins. 
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many.
They hate me with cruel hatred. 
20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.
Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. 
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for you. 
22 Redeem Yisra’el, God,
Out all of his troubles.

PSALMS: 55

1 Listen to my prayer, God.
Don’t hide yourself from my supplication. 
2 Attend to me, and answer me.
I am restless in my complaint, and moan, 
3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they bring suffering on me.
In anger they hold a grudge against me. 
4 My heart is severely pained within me.
The terrors of death have fallen on me. 
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me.
Horror has overwhelmed me. 
6 I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove!
Then I would fly away, and be at rest. 
7 Behold, then I would wander far off.
I would lodge in the wilderness.”
Selah. 
8 “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.” 
9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language,
For I have seen violence and strife in the city. 
10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls.
Malice and abuse are also within her. 
11 Destructive forces are within her.
Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets. 
12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me,
Then I could have endured it.
Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me,
Then I would have hid myself from him. 
13 But it was you, a man like me,
My companion, and my familiar friend. 
14 We took sweet fellowship together.
We walked in God’s house with the throng. 
15 Let death come suddenly on them.
Let them go down alive into She’ol.
For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. 
16 As for me, I will call on God.
The LORD will save me. 
17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress.
He will hear my voice. 
18 He has redeemed my soul in shalom from the battle that was against me,
Although there are many who oppose me. 
19 God, who is enthroned forever,
Will hear, and answer them.
Selah.
They never change,
Who don’t fear God. 
20 He raises his hands against his friends.
He has violated his covenant. 
21 His mouth was smooth as butter,
But his heart was war.
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords. 
22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you.
He will never allow the righteous to be moved. 
23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction.
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days,
But I will trust in you.

PSALMS: 85

1 LORD, you have been favorable to your land.
You have restored the fortunes of Ya`akov. 
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people.
You have covered all their sin.
Selah. 
3 You have taken away all your wrath.
You have turned from the fierceness of your anger. 
4 Turn us, God of our salvation,
And cause your indignation toward us to cease. 
5 Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you draw out your anger to all generations? 
6 Won’t you revive us again,
That your people may rejoice in you? 
7 Show us your loving kindness, LORD.
Grant us your salvation. 
8 I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak,
For he will speak shalom to his people, his holy ones;
But let them not turn again to folly. 
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,
That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth meet together.
Righteousness and shalom have kissed each other. 
11 Truth springs out of the eretz.
Righteousness has looked down from heaven. 
12 Yes, the LORD will give that which is good.
Our land will yield its increase. 
13 Righteousness goes before him,
And prepares the way for his steps.

PSALMS: 115

1 Not to us, LORD, not to us,
But to your name give glory,
For your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake. 
2 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God, now?” 
3 But our God is in the heavens.
He does whatever he pleases. 
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands. 
5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak;
They have eyes, but they don’t see; 
6 They have ears, but they don’t hear;
They have noses, but they don’t smell; 
7  They have hands, but they don’t feel;
They have feet, but they don’t walk;
Neither do they speak through their throat. 
8 Those who make them will be like them;
Yes, everyone who trusts in them. 
9 Yisra’el, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield. 
10 House of Aharon, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield. 
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield. 
12 The LORD remembers us.
He will bless us. 4
He will bless the house of Yisra’el.
He will bless the house of Aharon. 
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD,
Both small and great. 
14 May the LORD increase you more and more,
You and your children. 
15 Blessed are you by the LORD,
Who made heaven and eretz. 
16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD;
But the eretz has he given to the children of men. 
17  The dead don’t praise the LORD,
Neither any who go down into silence; 
18 But we will bless the LORD,
From this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the LORD!

PSALMS: 145

1 I will exalt you, my God, the King.
I will praise your name forever and ever. 
2 Every day I will praise you.
I will extol your name forever and ever. 
3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised!
His greatness is unsearchable. 
4 One generation will commend your works to another,
And will declare your mighty acts. 
5 Of the glorious majesty of your honor,
Of your wondrous works, I will meditate. 
6 Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts.
I will declare your greatness. 
7 They will utter the memory of your great goodness,
And will sing of your righteousness. 
8 The LORD is gracious, merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great loving kindness. 
9 The LORD is good to all.
His tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All your works will give thanks to you, LORD.
Your holy ones will extol you. 
11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom,
And talk about your power; 
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
The glory of the majesty of his kingdom. 
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
Your dominion endures throughout all generations. 
14 The LORD upholds all who fall,
And raises up all those who are bowed down. 
15 The eyes of all wait for you.
You give them their food in due season. 
16 You open your hand,
And satisfy the desire of every living thing. 
17  The LORD is righteous in all his ways,
And gracious in all his works. 
18 The LORD is near to all those who call on him,
To all who call on him in truth. 
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him.
He also will hear their cry, and will save them. 
20 The LORD preserves all those who love him,
But all the wicked he will destroy. 
21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD.
Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

PROVERBS: 25

1 These also are proverbs of Shlomo,
which the men of Hizkiyahu king of Yehudah copied out. 
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. 
3 As the heavens for height, and the eretz for depth,
So the hearts of kings are unsearchable. 
4 Take away the dross from the silver,
And material comes out for the refiner; 
5 Take away the wicked from the king’s presence,
And his throne will be established in righteousness. 
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
Or claim a place among great men; 
7 For it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,
” Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen. 
8 Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court.
What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you? 
9 Debate your case with your neighbor,
And don’t betray the confidence of another; 
10 Lest one who hears it put you to shame,
And your bad reputation never depart. 
11 A word fitly spoken Is like apples of gold in settings of silver. 
12 As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,
So is a wise reprover to an obedient ear. 
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
So is a faithful messenger to those who send him;
For he refreshes the soul of his masters. 
14 As clouds and wind without rain,
So is he who boasts of gifts deceptively. 
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded.
A soft tongue breaks the bone. 
16 Have you found honey?
Eat as much as is sufficient for you,
Lest you eat too much, and vomit it. 
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house,
Lest he be weary of you, and hate you. 
18 A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor
Is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow. 
19 Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble
Is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot. 
20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
Or vinegar on soda, So is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. 
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
If he is thirsty, give him water to drink: 
22 For you will heap coals of fire on his head,
And the LORD will reward you. 
23 The north wind brings forth rain:
So a backbiting tongue brings an angry face. 
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,
Than to share a house with a contentious woman. 
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
So is good news from a far country. 
26 Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well,
So is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked. 
27 It is not good to eat much honey;
Nor is it honorable to seek ones own honor. 
28 Like a city that is broken down and without walls
Is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

OLD TESTAMENT: MICAH 1:1 – 4:13

1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Mikhah the Morashti in the days of Yotam, Achaz, and Hizkiyahu, kings of Yehudah, which he saw concerning Shomron and Yerushalayim. 2 Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O eretz, and all that is therein: And let the Lord GOD be witness against you, The Lord from his holy temple. 3 For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, And will come down and tread on the high places of the eretz. 4 The mountains melt under him, And the valleys split apart, Like wax before the fire, Like waters that are poured down a steep place. 5 “All this is for the disobedience of Yaakov, And for the sins of the house of Yisra'el. What is the disobedience of Yaakov? Isn’t it Shomron? And what are the high places of Yehudah? Aren’t they Yerushalayim? 6 Therefore I will make Shomron like a rubble heap of the field, Like places for planting vineyards; And I will pour down its stones into the valley, And I will uncover its foundations. 7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, And all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, And all her images I will destroy; For of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, And to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.” 8 For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will howl like the jackals, And moan like the daughters of owls. 9 For her wounds are incurable; For it has come even to Yehudah. It reaches to the gate of my people, Even to Yerushalayim. 10 Don’t tell it in Gat, Don’t weep at all. At Beit-Laafrah I have rolled myself in the dust.

11 Pass on, inhabitant of Shafir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Tza'anan won't come out. The wailing of Beit-Haetzel will take from you his protection. 12 For the inhabitant of Marot waits anxiously for good, Because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Yerushalayim. 13 Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lakhish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Tziyon; For the transgressions of Yisra’el were found in you. 14 Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moreshet-Gat. The houses of Akhziv will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Yisra’el. 15 I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah, He who is the glory of Yisra’el will come to `Adullam. 16 Shave your heads, And cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the rakham; For they have gone into captivity from you!

2:1 Woe to those who devise iniquity And work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand. 2 They covet fields, and seize them; And houses, and take them away: And they oppress a man and his house, Even a man and his heritage. 3 Therefore thus says the LORD: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, From which you will not remove your necks, Neither will you walk haughtily; For it is an evil time. 4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, And lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!'” 5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of the LORD. 6 “Don’t you prophesy!” They prophesy. “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.” 7  Shall it be said, O house of Yaakov: "Is the Spirit of the LORD angry? Are these his doings? Don't my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"

8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.

9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; From their young children you take away my blessing forever. 10 Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, Because of uncleanness that destroys, Even with a grievous destruction.

11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: 'I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;' He would be the prophet of this people.

12 I will surely assemble, Yaakov, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Yisra’el; I will put them together as the sheep of Botzrah, As a flock in the midst of their pasture; They will throng with people. 13 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, With the LORD at their head.”

3:1 I said, “Please listen, you heads of Yaakov, And rulers of the house of Yisra'el: Isn't it for you to know justice?

2 You who hate the good, And love the evil; Who tear off their skin, And their flesh from off their bones;

3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, And flay their skin from off them, And break their bones, And chop them in pieces, as for the pot, And as flesh within the caldron.

4 Then they will cry to the LORD, But he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, Because they made their deeds evil."

5 Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, "Shalom!" and whoever doesn't provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:

6 "Therefore night is over you, with no vision, And it is dark to you, that you may not divine; And the sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will be black over them.

7 The seers shall be put to shame, And the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips; For there is no answer from God."

8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Yaakov his disobedience, And to Yisra’el his sin. 9 Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Ya`akov, And rulers of the house of Yisra’el, Who abhor justice, And pervert all equity. 10 They build up Tziyon with blood, And Yerushalayim with iniquity. 11 Her leaders judge for bribes, And her Kohanim teach for a price, And her prophets of it tell forturnes for money: Yet they lean on the LORD, and say, Isn’t the LORD in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us. 12 Therefore Tziyon for your sake will be plowed like a field, And Yerushalayim will become heaps of rubble, And the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.

4:1 But in the latter days, It will happen that the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, And it will be exalted above the hills; And peoples will stream to it. 2 Many nations will go and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, And to the house of the God of Ya`akov; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For out of Tziyon will go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Yerushalayim; 3 And he will judge between many peoples, And will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Neither will they learn war any more. 4 But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; And no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken. 5 Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; But we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever. 6 “In that day,” says the LORD, “I will assemble that which is lame, And I will gather that which is driven away, And that which I have afflicted; 7 And I will make that which was lame a remnant, And that which was cast far off a strong nation: And the LORD will reign over them on Mount Tziyon from then on, even forever. 8 You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Tziyon, To you it will come, Yes, the former dominion will come, The kingdom of the daughter of Yerushalayim. 9 Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, That pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail? 10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, daughter of Tziyon, Like a woman in travail; For now you will go forth out of the city, And will dwell in the field, And will come even to Bavel. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies. 11 Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, ‘Let her be defiled, And let our eye gloat over Tziyon.’ 12 But they don’t know the thoughts of the LORD, Neither do they understand his counsel; For he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor. 13 Arise and thresh, daughter of Tziyon; For I will make your horn iron, And I will make your hoofs brass; And you will beat in pieces many peoples: And I will devote their gain to the LORD, And their substance to the Lord of the whole eretz.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 6:1 – 17

6:1 I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!” 
2 I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. 
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” 
4 Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given to take shalom from the eretz, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword. 
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” I saw, and behold, a black horse. He who sat on it had a balance in his hand. 
6 I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!” 
7  When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
8 I saw, and behold, a pale horse. He who sat on him, his name was Death. She’ol followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the eretz, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the eretz was given to them. 
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. 
10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the eretz?” 
11 There was given to each one of them a white robe. It was said to them that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, had been fulfilled. 
12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. 
13 The stars of the sky fell to the eretz, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind. 
14 The sky was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 
15 The kings of the eretz, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. 
16 They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 
17  for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?”

PSALMS: 24, 54, 84, 114, 144

PROVERBS: 24

OLD TESTAMENT: JONAH 1:1 – 4:11

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 5:1 – 14

PSALMS: 24

1 The eretz is the LORD’s, with its fullness;
The world, and those who dwell therein. 
2 For he has founded it on the seas,
And established it on the floods. 
3 Who may ascend to the LORD’s hill?
Who may stand in his holy place? 
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart;
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood,
And has not sworn deceitfully. 
5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
Righteousness from the God of his salvation. 
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek your face — even Ya`akov.
Selah. 
7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
Be lifted up, you everlasting doors:
The King of glory will come in. 
8 Who is the King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
Yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors:
The King of glory will come in. 
10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of Hosts,
He is the King of glory.
Selah.

PSALMS: 54

1 Save me, God, by your name.
Vindicate me in your might. 
2 Hear my prayer, God.
Listen to the words of my mouth. 
3 For strangers have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought after my soul.
They haven’t set God before them.
Selah. 
4 Behold, God is my helper.
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul. 
5 He will repay the evil to my enemies.
Destroy them in your truth. 
6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you.
I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good. 
7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble.
My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

PSALMS: 84

1 How lovely are your dwellings,
LORD of Hosts! 
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 
3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young,
Near your altars, LORD of Hosts,
My King, and my God. 
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house.
They are always praising you. Selah. 
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you;
Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. 
6 Passing through the valley of Weeping,
they make it a place of springs.
Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings. 
7 They go from strength to strength.
Everyone of them appears before God in Tziyon. 
8 LORD, God Tzva’ot, hear my prayer.
Listen, God of Ya`akov.
Selah. 
9 Behold, God our shield,
Look at the face of your anointed. 
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 
11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield.
The LORD will give grace and glory.
He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 
12 LORD of Hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in you.

PSALMS: 114

1 When Yisra’el went forth out of Mitzrayim,
The house of Yaakov from a people of foreign language;

2 Yehudah became his sanctuary, Yisra'el his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Yarden was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Yarden, that you turned back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; You little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, you eretz, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Yaakov, 
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a spring of waters.

PSALMS: 144

1 Blessed be the LORD, my rock,
Who teaches my hands to war,
And my fingers to battle: 
2 My loving kindness, my fortress,
My high tower, my deliverer,
My shield, and he in whom I take refuge;
Who subdues my people under me. 
3 LORD, what is man, that you care for him?
Or the son of man, that you think of him? 
4 Man is like a breath.
His days are like a shadow that passes away. 
5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down.
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. 
6 Throw out lightning, and scatter them.
Send out your arrows, and rout them. 
7 Stretch out your hand from above,
Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,
Out of the hands of foreigners; 
8 Whose mouths speak deceit,
Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 
9 I will sing a new song to you, God.
On a ten-stringed lyre,
I will sing praises to you. 
10 You are he who gives salvation to kings,
Who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword. 
11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners,
Whose mouths speak deceit,
Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 
12 Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants,
Our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace. 
13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision.
Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields. 
14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads.
There is no breaking in, and no going away,
And no outcry in our streets. 
15 Happy are the people who are in such a situation.
Happy are the people whose God is the LORD.

PROVERBS: 24

1 Don’t you be envious against evil men;
Neither desire to be with them: 
2 For their hearts plot violence,
And their lips talk about mischief. 
3 Through wisdom a house is built;
By understanding it is established; 
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all rare and beautiful treasure. 
5 A wise man has great power;
And a knowledgeable man increases strength; 
6 For by wise guidance you wage your war;
And victory is in many advisors. 
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool:
He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate. 
8 One who plots to do evil
Will be called a schemer. 
9 The schemes of folly are sin.
The mocker is detested by men. 
10 If you falter in the time of trouble,
Your strength is small. 
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death!
Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter! 
12 If you say,
“Behold, we didn’t know this;”
Doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it?
Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good;
The droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste: 
14 So you shall know wisdom to be to your soul;
If you have found it, then will there be a reward,
Your hope will not be cut off. 
15 Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous.
Don’t destroy his resting-place: 
16 For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again;
But the wicked are overthrown by calamity. 
17 Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls.
Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him,
And he turn away his wrath from him. 
19 Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers;
Neither be envious of the wicked: 
20 For there will be no reward to the evil man;
And the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out. 
21 My son, fear the LORD and the king.
Don’t join those who are rebellious: 
22 For their calamity will rise suddenly;
The destruction from them both — who knows? 
23 These also are sayings of the wise.
To show partiality in judgment is not good. 
24 He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous;”
Peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him — 
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
And a rich blessing will come on them. 
26 An honest answer Is like a kiss on the lips. 
27 Prepare your work outside.
Make it ready for you in the field.
Afterwards, build your house. 
28 Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause.
Don’t deceive with your lips.
29 Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me;
I will render to the man according to his work.” 
30 I went by the field of the sluggard,
By the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 
31 Behold, it was all grown over with thorns.
Its surface was covered with nettles,
And its stone wall was broken down. 
32 Then I saw, and considered well.
I saw, and received instruction: 
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep; 
34 So shall your poverty come as a robber,
And your want as an armed man.

OLD TESTAMENT: JONAH 1:1 – 4:11

1;1 Now the word of the LORD came to Yonah the son of Ammittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.” 3 But Yonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Yafo, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. 4 But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten it. But Yonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep. 6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your gods! Maybe the gods will notice us, so that we won’t perish.” 7  They all said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Yonah. 8 Then they asked him, “Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?” 9 He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.” 10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “What is this that you have done?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. 11 Then said they to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. 12 He said to them, “Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great tempest is on you.” 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, “We beg you, LORD, we beg you, let us not perish for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you.”15 So they took up Yonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging. 16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows. 17  The LORD prepared a great fish to swallow up Yonah, and Yonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

2:1 Then Yonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly. 2 He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of She’ol I cried. You heard my voice. 3 For you threw me into the depths, In the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me. 4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; Yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’ 5 The waters surrounded me, Even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. 6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The eretz barred me in forever: Yet have you brought up my life from the pit, LORD my God. 7  “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple. 8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.” 10 The LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Yonah on the dry land.

3:1 The word of the LORD came to Yonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.” 3 So Yonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across. 4 Yonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water; 8 but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands. 9 Who knows whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?” 10 God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God repented of the evil which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.

4:1 But it displeased Yonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 2 He prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please, LORD, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and you repent of the evil. 3 Therefore now, LORD, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 The LORD said, “Is it right for you to be angry?” 5 Then Yonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city. 6 The LORD God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Yonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Yonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine. 7  But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered. 8 It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Yonah’s head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.” 9 God said to Yonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?” He said, “I am right to be angry, even to death.” 10 The LORD said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night. 
11  Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 5:1 – 14

5:1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written within and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals. 
2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?” 
3 No one in heaven, or on the eretz, or under the eretz, was able to open the book, or to look in it.
4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it. 
5 One of the Zakenim said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Yehudah, the Root of David, has overcome to open the book and its seven seals.” 
6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the Zakenim, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the eretz. 
7  Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 
8 Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four Zakenim fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. 
9 They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, 
10 And made them kings and Kohanim to our God, And they reign on eretz.” 
11 I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the Zakenim; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; 
12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!”
13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the eretz, under the eretz, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever. Amein.” 
14 The four living creatures said, “Amein!” The Zakenim fell down and worshiped.

PROVERBS: 23

OLD TESTAMENT: OBADIAH 1 – 21

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 4:1 – 11

PSALMS: 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd:
I shall lack nothing. 
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. 
3 He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me 
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed my head with oil.
My cup runs over. 
6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the LORD’s house forever.

PSALMS: 53

1 The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity.
There is no one who does good. 
2 God looks down from heaven on the children of men,
To see if there are any who understood, Who seek after God. 
3 Every one of them has gone back.
They have become filthy together.
There is no one who does good, no, not one. 
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And don’t call on God? 
5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was,
For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you.
You have put them to shame,
Because God has rejected them.
6 Oh that the yeshuah of Yisra'el would come out of Tziyon! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Then shall Yaakov rejoice.
Yisra’el shall be glad.

PSALMS: 83

1 God, don’t keep silent.
Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God. 
2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up.
Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. 
3 They conspire with cunning against your people.
They plot against your cherished ones. 
4 “Come,” they say, “and let us destroy them as a nation,
That the name of Yisra’el may be remembered no more.” 
5 For they have conspired together with one mind.
They form an alliance against you. 
6 The tents of Edom and the Yishmeelim; Mo'av, and the Hagrim;

7 Geval, Ammon, and Amalek; Peleshet with the inhabitants of Tzor;

8 Ashshur also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

9 Do to them as you did to Midyan, As to Sisera, as to Yavin, at the river Kishon;

10 Who perished at ‘En-Dor,
Who became as dung for the eretz. 
11 Make their nobles like Orev and Ze'ev; Yes, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmunnah;

12 Who said, "Let us take possession Of God's pasturelands."

13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind.

14 As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire, 15 o pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm. 16 Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, LORD.

17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

18 hat they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, Are HaElyon over all the eretz.

PSALMS: 113

1 Praise the LORD!
Praise, you servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD. 
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD,
From this time forth and forevermore. 
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same,
The LORD’s name is to be praised. 
4 The LORD is high above all nations,
His glory above the heavens. 
5 Who is like the LORD, our God,
Who has his seat on high, 
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the eretz? 
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust.
Lifts up the needy from the ash heap; 
8 That he may set him with princes,
Even with the princes of his people. 
9 He settles the barren woman in her home,
As a joyful mother of children.
Praise the LORD!

PSALMS: 143

1 Hear my prayer, LORD.
Listen to my petitions.
In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. 
2 Don’t enter into judgment with your servant,
For in your sight no man living is righteous. 
3 For the enemy pursues my soul.
He has struck my life down to the ground.
He has made me live in dark places,
as those who have been long dead. 
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me.
My heart within me is desolate. 
5 I remember the days of old.
I meditate on all your doings.
I contemplate the work of your hands. 
6 I spread forth my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land.
Selah. 
7 Hurry to answer me, LORD.
My spirit fails.
Don’t hide your face from me,
So that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit. 
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,
For I trust in you.
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to you. 
9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies.
I flee to you to hide me. 
10 Teach me to do your will,
For you are my God.
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness. 
11 Revive me, LORD, for your name’s sake.
In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble. 
12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul,
For I am your servant.

PROVERBS: 23

1 When you sit to eat with a ruler,
Consider diligently what is before you; 
2 Put a knife to your throat,
If you are a man given to appetite.
3 Don’t be desirous of his dainties,
Seeing they are deceitful food.
4 Don’t weary yourself to be rich.
In your wisdom, show restraint 
5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not?
For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky. 
6 Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye,
And don’t crave his delicacies: 
7 For as he thinks about the cost, so he is.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you. 
8 The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up,
And lose your good words. 
9 Don’t speak in the ears of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words. 
10 Don’t move the ancient boundary stone.
Don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless: 
11 For their Defender is strong.
He will plead their case against you. 
12 Apply your heart to instruction,
And your ears to the words of knowledge. 
13 Don’t withhold correction from a child.
If you punish him with the rod, he will not die. 
14 Punish him with the rod,
And save his soul from She’ol 
15 My son, if your heart is wise,
Then my heart will be glad, even mine: 
16 Yes, my heart will rejoice,
When your lips speak what is right. 
17 Don’t let your heart envy sinners;
But rather fear the LORD all the day long. 
18 Indeed surely there is a future hope,
And your hope will not be cut off. 
19 Listen, my son, and be wise,
And keep your heart on the right path 
20 Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine,
Or those who gorge themselves on meat: 
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor;
And drowsiness clothes them in rags 
22 Listen to your father who gave you life,
And don’t despise your mother when she is old. 
23 Buy the truth, and don’t sell it:
Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding. 
24 The father of the righteous has great joy.
Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him. 
25 Let your father and your mother be glad!
Let her who bore you rejoice! 
26 My son, give me your heart;
And let your eyes keep in my ways. 
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit;
And a wayward wife is a narrow well. 
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber,
And increases the unfaithful among men. 
29 Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has strife?
Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises?
Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who stay long at the wine;
Those who go to seek out mixed wine. 
31 Don’t look at the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it goes down smoothly: 
32 At the last it bites like a snake,
And poisons like a viper. 
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your mind will imagine confusing things. 
34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea,
Or as he who lies on top of the rigging: 
35 “They hit me, and I was not hurt;
They beat me, and I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up?
I can do it again.
I can find another.”

OLD TESTAMENT: OBADIAH 1 – 21

1:1 The vision of Ovadyah. This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom. We have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.

2 Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.

3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'

4 Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says the LORD.

5 If thieves came to you, if robbers by night -- oh, what disaster awaits you -- wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?

6 How Esav will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!

7 All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at shalom with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.

8 "Won't I in that day," says the LORD, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esav?

9 Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esav by slaughter.

10 For the violence done to your brother Yaakov, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Yerushalayim, even you were like one of them.
12 But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Yehudah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress. 
13 Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity. 
14 Don’t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don’t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress. 
15 For the day of the LORD is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head. 
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been. 
17 But in Mount Tziyon, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Yaakov will possess their possessions.  18 The house of Yaakov will be a fire, the house of Yosef a flame, and the house of Esav for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esav.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken. 
19 Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esav, and those of the lowland, the Pelishtim. They will possess the field of Efrayim, and the field of Shomron. Binyamin will possess Gilad.  20 The captives of this host of the children of Yisra'el, who are among the Kanaanim, will possess even to Tzarfat; and the captives of Yerushalayim, who are in Sefarad, will possess the cities of the Negev. 
21 Saviors will go up on Mount Tziyon to judge the mountains of Esav, and the kingdom will be the LORD’s.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 4:1 – 11

4:1 After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a shofar speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.” 
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne 
3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an yahalom to look at. 
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four Zakenim sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. 
5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 
6 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like a crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. 
7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. 
8 and the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes around about and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, Shaddai, who was and who is and who is to come. 
9 When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, 
10 the twenty-four Zakenim fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and will throw their crowns before the throne, saying, 
11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created.”

OLD TESTAMENT: AMOS 7:1 – 9:14

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 3:7 – 22

PSALMS: 22

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me,
and from the words of my groaning? 
2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer;
In the night season, and am not silent. 
3 But you are holy,
You who inhabit the praises of Yisra’el.
4 Our fathers trusted in you.
They trusted, and you delivered them.
5 They cried to you, and were delivered.
They trusted in you, and were not put to shame. 
6 But I am a worm, and no man;
A reproach of men, and despised by the people. 
7 All those who see me mock me.
They insult me with their lips.
They shake their heads, saying, 
8 “He trusts in the LORD; Let him deliver him;
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.” 
9 But you brought me out of the womb.
You made me trust at my mother’s breasts. 
10 I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb.
You are my God since my mother bore me. 
11 Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near.
For there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. 
13 They open their mouths wide against me,
Lions tearing prey and roaring. 
14 I am poured out like water.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me. 
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death. 
16 For dogs have surrounded me.
A company of evil-doers have enclosed me.
They pierced my hands and my feet. 
17 I can count all of my bones.
They look and stare at me. 
18 They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing. 
19 But don’t be far off, LORD.
You are my help: hurry to help me. 
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
My precious life from the power of the dog. 
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth;
Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen you have answered me. 
22 I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the assembly, will I praise you. 
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you descendants of Ya`akov, glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Yisra’el! 
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,
Neither has he hid his face from him;
But when he cried to him, he heard. 
25 Of you comes my praise in the great assembly.
I will pay my vows before those who fear him. 
26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They shall praise the LORD who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever. 
27 All the ends of the eretz shall remember and turn to the LORD.
All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you. 
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s.
He is the ruler over the nations. 
29 All the rich ones of the eretz shall eat and worship.
All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,
Even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him.
Future generations shall be told about the Lord. 
31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, For he has done it.

PSALMS: 52

1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man?
God’s loving kindness endures continually. 
2 Your tongue plots destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 
3 You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking the truth.
Selah. 
4 You love all devouring words,
You deceitful tongue. 
5 God will likewise destroy you forever.
He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent,
And root you out of the land of the living.
Selah. 
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear,
And laugh at him, saying, 
7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his wickedness.” 
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house.
I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever. 
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it.
I will hope in your name, for it is good,
In the presence of your holy ones.

PSALMS: 82

1 God presides in the great assembly.
He judges among the gods. 
2 “How long will you judge unjustly,
And show partiality to the wicked?”
Selah. 
3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. 
4 Rescue the weak and needy.
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.” 
5 They don’t know, neither do they understand.
They walk back and forth in darkness.
All the foundations of the eretz are shaken. 
6 I said, “You are gods,
All of you are sons of Ha`Elyon. 
7 Nevertheless you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the rulers.” 
8 Arise, God, judge the eretz,
For you inherit all of the nations.

PSALMS: 112

1 Praise the LORD!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
Who delights greatly in his mitzvot. 
2 His seed will be mighty on eretz.
The generation of the upright will be blessed. 
3 Wealth and riches are in his house.
His righteousness endures forever. 
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright,
Gracious, merciful, and righteous. 
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends.
He will maintain his cause in judgment. 
6 For he will never be shaken.
The righteous will be remembered forever. 
7 He will not be afraid of evil news.
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 
8 His heart is established.
He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries. 
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor.
His righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved.
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away.
The desire of the wicked will perish.

PSALMS: 142

1 I cry with my voice to the LORD.
With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy. 
2 I pour out my complaint before him.
I tell him my troubles. 
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk,
They have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look on my right, and see;
For there is no one who is concerned for me.
Refuge has fled from me.
No one cares for my soul. 
5 I cried to you, the LORD.
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.” 
6 Listen to my cry,
For I am in desperate need.
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than me. 
7 Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
For you will be good to me.

PROVERBS: 22

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches;
Loving favor rather than silver and gold. 
2 The rich and the poor have this in common:
The LORD is the maker of them all. 
3 A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself;
But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
4 The result of humility and the fear of the LORD
Is wealth, honor, and life. 
5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked:
Whoever guards his soul stays from them. 
6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it. 
7 The rich rules over the poor.
The borrower is servant to the lender. 
8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble,
And the rod of his fury will be destroyed. 
9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed;
For he shares his food with the poor. 
10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out;
Yes, quarrels and insults will stop. 
11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully Is the king’s friend. 
12 The eyes of the LORD watch over knowledge;
But he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 
13 The sluggard says,
“There is a lion outside!
I will be killed in the streets!” 
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit:
He who is under the LORD’s wrath will fall into it. 
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child:
The rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich,
Both come to poverty. 
17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise.
Apply your heart to my teaching. 
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you,
If all of them are ready on your lips. 
19 That your trust may be in the LORD,
I teach you today, even you. 
20 Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things
Of counsel and knowledge, 
21 To teach you truth, reliable words,
To give sound answers to the ones who sent you? 
22 Don’t exploit the poor, because he is poor;
And don’t crush the needy in court; 
23 For the LORD will plead their case,
And plunder the life of those who plunder them. 
24 Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man,
And don’t associate with one who harbors anger: 
25 Lest you learn his ways,
And ensnare your soul. 
26 Don’t you be one of those who strike hands,
Of those who are collateral for debts. 
27 If you don’t have means to pay,
Why should he take away your bed from under you?
28 Don’t move the ancient boundary stone,
Which your fathers have set up. 
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will serve kings;
He won’t serve obscure men.

OLD TESTAMENT: AMOS 7:1 – 9:14

7:1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: and, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest. 2 It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you! How could Yaakov stand? For he is small."

3 The LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says the LORD.

4 Thus the Lord GOD showed me and, behold, the Lord GOD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.

5 Then I said, "Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! How could Yaakov stand? For he is small.” 6 The LORD relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” says the Lord GOD. 7  Thus he showed me and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 The LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Yisra'el. I will not again pass by them any more.

9 The high places of Yitzchak will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Yisra'el will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Yarovam with the sword.” 10 Then Amatzyah the Kohen of Beit-El sent to Yarovam king of Yisra'el, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Yisra’el. The land is not able to bear all his words. 11 For Amos says, 'Yarovam will die by the sword, and Yisra’el shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'” 12 Amatzyah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Yehudah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

13 but don't prophesy again any more at Beit-El; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house!"

14 Then Amos answered Amatzyah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore trees; 15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Yisra’el.’ 16 Now therefore listen to the word of the LORD: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Yisra’el, and don’t preach against the house of Yitzchak.’ 
17  Therefore thus says the LORD: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Yisra’el shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'”

8:1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 He said, “Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come on my people Yisra'el. I will not again pass by them any more.  3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says the Lord GOD. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.

4 Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, And cause the poor of the land to fail,

5 Saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Shabbat, that we may market wheat, Making the efah small, and the shekel large, And dealing falsely with balances of deceit

6 That we may buy the poor for silver, And the needy for a pair of shoes, And sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"

7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Yaakov, “Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Won’t the land tremble for this, And everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; And it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Mitzrayim. 9 “It will happen in that day,” says the Lord GOD, “That I will cause the sun to go down at noon, And I will darken the eretz in the clear day. 10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; And I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, And baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, And the end of it like a bitter day. 11 Behold, the days come,” says the Lord GOD, “That I will send a famine in the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the LORD. 12 They will wander from sea to sea, And from the north even to the east; They will run back and forth to seek the word of the LORD, And will not find it. 13 In that day the beautiful virgins And the young men will faint for thirst. 14 Those who swear by the sin of Shomron, And say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives;’ And, ‘As the way of Be’er-Sheva lives;’ They will fall, and never rise up again.”

9:1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape. 2 Though they dig into She’ol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. 3 Though they hide themselves in the top of Karmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them. 4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good. 5 For the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Mitzrayim. 6 It is he who builds his chambers in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the eretz; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the eretz; the LORD is his name. 7 Are you not like the children of the Kushim to me, children of Yisra’el?” says the LORD. “Haven’t I brought up Yisra’el out of the land of Mitzrayim, and the Pelishtim from Kaftor, and the Aram from Kir? 8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the eretz; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Ya`akov,” says the LORD. 9 “For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Yisra’el among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the eretz. 10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’ 11 In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old; 12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does this. 13 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “That the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the one treading grapes him who sows seed; And sweet wine will drip from the mountains, And flow from the hills. 14 I will bring back the captivity of my people Yisra’el, And they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, And eat the fruit of them.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 3:7 – 22

3:7 “To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and that shuts and no one opens, says these things:
8 “I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name. 
9 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Hasatan, of those who say they are Yehudim, and they are not, but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 
10 Because you kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the eretz. 
11 I come quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown. 
12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Yerushalayim, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name. 
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. 
14 “To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amein, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God’s creation, says these things: 
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. 
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. 
17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked; 
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent. 
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. 
21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne. 
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”

PROVERBS: 21

OLD TESTAMENT: AMOS 4:1 – 6:14

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 2:18 – 3:6

PSALMS: 21

1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD!
How greatly he rejoices in your yeshuah!

2 You have given him his heart's desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asked life of you, you gave it to him, Even length of days forever and ever.

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of HaElyon,
he shall not be moved. 
8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies.
Your right hand will find out those who hate you. 
9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath.
The fire shall devour them. 
10 You will destroy their descendants from the eretz,
Their posterity from among the children of men. 
11 For they intended evil against you.
They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed. 
12 For you will make them turn their back,
When you aim drawn bows at their face. 
13 Be exalted, LORD, in your strength,
So we will sing and praise your power.

PSALMS: 51

1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. 
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
Cleanse me from my sin. 
3 For I know my transgressions.
My sin is constantly before me. 
4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned,
And done that which is evil in your sight;
That you may be proved right when you speak,
And justified when you judge. 
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity.
In sin did my mother conceive me. 
6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.
You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 
8 Let me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones which you have broken may rejoice. 
9 Hide your face from my sins,
And blot out all of my iniquities. 
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a right spirit within me. 
11 Don’t throw me from your presence,
And don’t take your holy Spirit from me. 
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
Uphold me with a willing spirit. 
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
Sinners shall be converted to you.
14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness,
O God, the God of my salvation.
My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness. 
15 Lord, open my lips.
My mouth shall declare your praise. 
16 For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
You have no pleasure in burnt offering. 
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
A broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise. 
18 Do well in your good pleasure to Tziyon.
Build the walls of Yerushalayim. 
19 Then will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings.
Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

PSALMS: 81

1 Sing aloud to God, our strength!
Make a joyful noise to the God of Yaakov!

2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, The pleasant lyre with the harp.

3 Blow the shofar at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.

4 For it is a statute for Yisra'el, An ordinance of the God of Yaakov. 
5 He appointed it in Yosef for a testimony,
When he went out over the land of Mitzrayim,
I heard a language that I didn’t know. 
6 “I removed his shoulder from the burden.
His hands were freed from the basket. 
7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you.
I answered you in the secret place of thunder.
I tested you at the waters of Merivah.”
Selah. 
8 “Hear, my people, and I will testify to you.
Yisra’el, if you would listen to me! 
9 There shall be no strange god in you,
Neither shall you worship any foreign god. 
10 I am the LORD, your God,
Who brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 
11 But my people didn’t listen to my voice.
Yisra’el desired none of me.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts,
That they might walk in their own counsels. 
13 Oh that my people would listen to me,
That Yisra’el would walk in my ways! 
14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn my hand against their adversaries. 
15 The haters of the LORD would cringe before him,
And their punishment would last forever. 
16 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat.
I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”

PSALMS: 111

1 Praise the LORD!
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,
In the council of the upright, and in the congregation. 
2 The works of the LORD are great,
Pondered by all those who delight in them. 
3 His work is honor and majesty.
His righteousness endures forever. 
4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered.
The LORD is gracious and merciful. 
5 He has given food to those who fear him.
He always remembers his covenant. 
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations. 
7 The works of his hands are truth and justice.
All his precepts are sure. 
8 They are established forever and ever.
They are done in truth and uprightness. 
9 He has sent redemption to his people.
He has ordained his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awesome! 
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
All those who do his work have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

PSALMS: 141

1 LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly!
Listen to my voice when I call to you. 
2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; ‘
The lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. 
3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth.
Keep the door of my lips. 
4 Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, ‘
To practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity.
Don’t let me eat of their delicacies. 
5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness;
Let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head;
Don’t let my head refuse it;
Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds. 
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock.
They will hear my words, for they are well spoken. 
7 “As when one plows and breaks up the eretz,
Our bones are scattered at the mouth of She’ol.” 
8 For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord.
In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute. 
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,
From the traps of the workers of iniquity. 
10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets,
While I pass by.

PROVERBS: 21

1 The king’s heart is in the LORD’s hand like the watercourses.
He turns it wherever he desires. 
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the LORD weighs the hearts. 
3 To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. 
4 A high look, and a proud heart,
The lamp of the wicked, is sin. 
5 The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;
And everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty. 
6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death. 
7 The violence of the wicked will drive them away,
Because they refuse to do what is right. 
8 The way of the guilty is devious,
But the conduct of the innocent is upright. 
9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,
Than to share a house with a contentious woman. 
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;
His neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes. 
11 When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom;
When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge. 
12 The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked,
And brings the wicked to ruin. 
13 Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor,
He will also cry out, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger;
And a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath. 
15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice;
But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 
16 The man who wanders out of the way of understanding
Shall rest in the assembly of the dead. 
17  He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man:
He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich. 
18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous;
The treacherous for the upright. 
19 It is better to dwell in a desert land,
Than with a contentious and fretful woman. 
20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
But a foolish man swallows it up. 
21 He who follows after righteousness and kindness
Finds life, righteousness, and honor. 
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty,
And brings down the strength of its confidence. 
23Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles. 
24 The proud and haughty man, “scoffer” is his name;
He works in the arrogance of pride. 
25 The desire of the sluggard kills him,
For his hands refuse to labor. 
26 There are those who covet greedily all the day long;
But the righteous gives and doesn’t withhold.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination:
How much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind! 
28 A false witness will perish,
And a man who listens speaks to eternity. 
29 A wicked man hardens his face;
But as for the upright, he establishes his ways. 
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding
Nor counsel against the LORD. 
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle;
But victory is with the LORD.

OLD TESTAMENT: AMOS 4:1 – 6:14

4:1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Shomron, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their lords, “Bring, and let us drink.” 2 The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness that behold, “The days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, And the last of you with fish hooks. 3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, Everyone straight before her; And you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says the LORD. 4 “Go to Beit-El, and sin; To Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, Your tithes every three days, 5 Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, And proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: For this pleases you, you children of Yisra’el,” says the Lord GOD. 6 “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in every town; Yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD. 7  “I also have withheld the rain from you, When there were yet three months to the harvest; And I caused it to rain on one city, And caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, And the piece where it didn’t rain withered. 8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, And were not satisfied: Yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD. 9 I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; And your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming arbeh devoured: Yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD. 10 I sent plagues among you like I did Mitzrayim. I have slain your young men with the sword, And have carried away your horses; And I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp Yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD. 11 “I have overthrown some of you, As when God overthrew Sedom and `Amorah, And you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; Yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD. 12 “Therefore thus will I do to you, Yisra’el; Because I will do this to you, Prepare to meet your God, Yisra’el. 13 For, behold, he who forms the mountains, And creates the wind, And declares to man what is his thought; Who makes the morning darkness, And treads on the high places of the Eretz: The LORD, the God Tzva’ot,, is his name.”

5:1 Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Yisra’el. 2 “The virgin of Yisra’el has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; There is no one to raise her up.” 3 For thus says the Lord GOD: “The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, And that which went forth one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Yisra’el.” 4 For thus says the LORD to the house of Yisra’el: “Seek me, and you will live; 5 But don’t seek Beit-El, Nor enter into Gilgal, And don’t pass to Be’er-Sheva: For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Beit-El shall come to nothing. 6 Seek the LORD, and you will live; Lest he break out like fire in the house of Yosef, And it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Beit-El. 7 You who turn justice to wormwood, And cast down righteousness to the eretz: 8 Seek him who made the Kima and Kesil, And turns the shadow of death into the morning, And makes the day dark with night; Who calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the surface of the eretz, the LORD is his name, 9 Who brings sudden destruction on the strong, So that destruction comes on the fortress. 10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, And they abhor him who speaks blamelessly. 11 Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, And take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of hewn stone, But you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink their wine. 12 For I know how many your offenses, And how great are your sins– You who afflict the just, Who take a bribe, And who turn aside the needy in the courts. 13 Therefore he who is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; For it is an evil time. 14 Seek good, and not evil, That you may live; And so the LORD, the God Tzva’ot,, will be with you, As you say. 15 Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the courts. It may be that the LORD, the God Tzva’ot,, will be gracious to the remnant of Yosef.” 16 Therefore thus says the LORD, the God Tzva’ot,, the Lord: “Wailing will be in all the broad ways; And they will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ And they will call the farmer to mourning, And those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing. 17 In all vineyards there will be wailing; For I will pass through the midst of you,” says the LORD. 18 “Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? It is darkness, And not light. 19 As if a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, And a snake bit him. 20 Will the day of the LORD not be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it? 21 I hate, I despise your feasts, And I can’t stand your solemn assemblies. 22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; Neither will I regard the shalom offerings of your fat animals. 23 Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24 But let justice roll on like rivers, And righteousness like a mighty stream. 25 “Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Yisra’el? 26 Yes, you have borne the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves. 27  Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Dammesek,” says the LORD, whose name is the God Tzva’ot,.

6:1 Woe to those who are at ease in Tziyon, And to those who are secure on the mountain of Shomron, The notable men of the chief of the nations, To whom the house of Yisra’el come! 2 Go to Kalneh, and see; And from there go to Hamat the great; Then go down to Gat of the Pelishtim. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their border greater than your border? 3 Those who put far away the evil day, And cause the seat of violence to come near; 4 Who lie on beds of ivory, And stretch themselves on their couches, And eat the lambs out of the flock, And the calves out of the midst of the stall; 5 Who strum on the strings of a harp; Who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David; 6 Who drink wine in bowls, And anoint themselves with the best oils; But they are not grieved for the affliction of Yosef. 7 Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; And the feasting and lounging will end. 8 “The Lord GOD has sworn by himself,” says the LORD, the God Tzva’ot,: “I abhor the pride of Yaakov, And detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.

9 It will happen, if there remain ten men in one house, That they shall die.

10 "When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush! Indeed we must not mention the name of the LORD.'

11 "For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, And the little house into bits.

12 Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, And the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;

13 You who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?'

14 For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Yisra'el," Says the LORD, the God Tzva'ot,; "And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamat to the brook of the ‘Aravah.”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 2:18 – 3:6

2:18 “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things: 19 I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Izevel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works. 23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Hasatan,’ to you I say, I don’t lay on you any other burden. 25 Nevertheless that which you have, hold firmly until I come. 26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him will I give authority over the nations. 27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father: 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

3:1 “And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come on you. 4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes will be arrayed like this in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

PSALMS: 20, 50, 80, 110, 140

PROVERBS: 20

OLD TESTAMENT: AMOS 1:1 – 3:15

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 2:1 – 17

PSALMS: 20

1 May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble.
May the name of the God of Yaakov set you up on high,

2 Send you help from the sanctuary, Grant you support from Tziyon,

3 Remember all your offerings, And accept your burnt-sacrifice. Selah.

4 May He grant you your heart's desire, And fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will triumph in your yeshuah.
In the name of our God we will set up our banners:
The LORD fulfill all your petitions. 
6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed.
He will answer him from his holy heaven,
With the saving strength of his right hand. 
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,
But we trust the name of the LORD our God. 
8 They are bowed down and fallen,
But we rise up, and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD;
Let the King answer us when we call!

PSALMS: 50

1 The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks,
And calls the eretz from sunrise to sunset. 
2 Out of Tziyon, the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth. 
3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent.
A fire devours before him.
It is very tempestuous around him. 
4 He calls to the heavens above,
To the eretz, that he may judge his people: 
5 “Gather my holy ones together to me,
Those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” 
6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness,
For God himself is judge.
Selah. 
7 “Hear, my people, and I will speak;
Yisra’el, and I will testify against you.
I am God, your God. 
8 I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.
Your burnt offerings are continually before me. 
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall,
Nor male goats from your pens. 
10 For every animal of the forest is mine,
And the cattle on a thousand hills. 
11 I know all the birds of the mountains.
The wild animals of the field are mine. 
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
For the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
Or drink the blood of goats? 
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
Pay your vows to Ha`Elyon.
15 Call on me in the day of trouble.
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” 
16 But to the wicked God says,
“What right do you have to declare my statutes,
That you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17  Seeing you hate instruction,
And throw my words behind you?
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him,
And have participated with adulterers. 
19 “You give your mouth to evil.
You harnesses your tongue for deceit. 
20 You sit and speak against your brother.
You slander your own mother’s son. 
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent.
You thought that the “I AM” was just like you.
I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes. 
22 “Now consider this, you who forget God,
Lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver. 
23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,
And prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”

PSALMS: 80

1 Hear us, Shepherd of Yisra’el,
You who lead Yosef like a flock,
You who sit above the Keruvim, shine forth. 
2 Before Efrayim and Binyamin and Menashsheh,
stir up your might,
Come to save us. 
3 Turn us again, God.
Cause your face to shine,
And we will be saved.
4 LORD God Tzva’ot,
How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people? 
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in large measure. 
6 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors.
Our enemies laugh among themselves. 
7 Turn us again,
God Tzva’ot.
Cause your face to shine,
And we will be saved. 
8 You brought a vine out of Mitzrayim.
You drove out the nations, and planted it. 
9 You cleared the ground for it.
It took deep root, and filled the land. 
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow.
Its boughs were like God’s cedars. 
11 It sent out its branches to the sea,
Its shoots to the River. 
12 Why have you broken down its walls,
So that all those who pass by the way pluck it? 
13 The boar out of the wood ravages it.
The wild animals of the field feed on it. 
14 Turn again, we beg you, God Tzva’ot.
Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine, 
15 The stock which your right hand planted,
The branch that you made strong for yourself. 
16 It is burned with fire. It is cut down.
They perish at your rebuke. 
17  Let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
On the son of man whom you made strong for yourself. 
18 So we will not turn away from you.
Revive us, and we will call on your name. 
19 Turn us again, LORD God Tzva’ot.
Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

PSALMS: 110

1 The LORD says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
Until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.” 
2 The LORD will send forth the rod of your strength out of Tziyon.
Rule in the midst of your enemies. 
3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power,
In holy array.
Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth. 
4 The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind:
“You are a Kohen forever in the order of Malki-Tzedek.” 
5 The Lord is at your right hand.
He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge among the nations.
He will heap up dead bodies.
He will crush the ruler of the whole eretz. 
7 He will drink of the brook in the way;
Therefore will he lift up his head.

PSALMS: 140

1 Deliver me, LORD, from the evil man.
Preserve me from the violent man; 
2 Those who devise mischief in their hearts.
They continually gather themselves together for war. 
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.
Viper’s poison is under their lips.
Selah. 
4 LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked.
Preserve me from the violent men:
Who have determined to trip my feet. 
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me,
They have spread the cords of a net by the path.
They have set traps for me.
Selah. 
6 I said to the LORD,
“You are my God.
” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD. 
7 LORD, the Lord, the strength of my yeshu`ah,
You have covered my head in the day of battle. 
8 LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked.
Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah. 
9 As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 
10 Let burning coals fall on them.
Let them be thrown into the fire,
Into miry pits, from where they never rise. 
11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the eretz.
Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the needy. 
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.
The upright will dwell in your presence.

PROVERBS: 20

1 Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler;
Whoever is let astray by them is not wise. 
2 The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion:
He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life. 
3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife;
But every fool will be quarreling.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter;
Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing. 
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;
But a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Many men claim to be men of unfailing love,
But who can find a faithful man? 
7 A righteous man who walks in his integrity,
Blessed are his children after him. 
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment
Scatters away all evil with his eyes. 
9 Who can say, “I have made my heart pure.
I am clean and without sin?” 
10 Differing weights and differing measures,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. 
11 Even a child makes himself known by his doings,
Whether his work is pure, and whether it is right. 
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye,
The LORD has made even both of them. 
13 Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread. 
14 “It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer;
But when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
15 There is gold and abundance of rubies;
But the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel. 
16 Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger;
And hold him in pledge for a wayward woman. 
17 Fraudulent food is sweet to a man,
But afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel. 
18 Plans are established by advice;
By wise guidance you wage war! 
19 He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets;
Therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips. 
20 Whoever curses his father or his mother,
His lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness. 
21 An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning,
Won’t be blessed in the end. 
22 Don’t say,
“I will pay back evil.”
Wait for the LORD, and he will save you. 
23 The LORD detests differing weights,
And dishonest scales are not pleasing. 
24 A man’s steps are from the LORD;
How then can man understand his way? 
25 It is a snare to a man make a rash dedication,
And later reconsider his vows. 
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked,
And drives the threshing wheel over them. 
27 The spirit of man is the LORD’s lamp,
Searching all his innermost parts.
28 Love and faithfulness keep the king safe.
His throne is sustained by love. 
29 The glory of young men is their strength.
The splendor of old men is their gray hair. 
30 Wounding blows cleanse away evil,
And beatings purge the innermost parts.

OLD TESTAMENT: AMOS 1:1 – 3:15

1:1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Yisra'el in the days of ‘Uzziyah king of Yehudah, and in the days of Yarov’am the son of Yo'ash king of Yisra'el, two years before the earthquake.

2 He said: The LORD will roar from Tziyon, And utter his voice from Yerushalayim; And the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, And the top of Karmel will.wither." 3 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Dammesek, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because they have threshed Gilad with threshing instruments of iron; 
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Haza’el, And it will devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad. 5 I will break the bar of Dammesek, And cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden; And the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Kir," says the LORD. 6 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of ‘Aza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because they carried away captive the whole community, To deliver them up to Edom; 7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Aza, And it will devour its palaces.

8 I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against ‘Ekron; And the remnant of the Pelishtim will perish,” says the Lord GOD. 9 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Tzor, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, And didn’t remember the brotherly covenant; 10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tzor, And it will devour its palaces.” 11 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger raged continually, And he kept his wrath forever; 12 But I will send a fire on Teman, And it will devour the palaces of Botzrah.” 13 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilad, That they may enlarge their border. 14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, And it will devour its palaces, With shouting in the day of battle, With a tempest in the day of the whirlwind; 15 And their king will go into captivity, He and his princes together,” says the LORD.

2:1 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Mo’av, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime; 2 But I will send a fire on Mo’av, And it will devour the palaces of Keriyot; And Mo’av will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar; 3 And I will cut off the judge from their midst, And will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD. 4 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Yehudah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because they have rejected the law of the LORD, And have not kept his statutes, And their lies have led them astray, After which their fathers walked; 5 But I will send a fire on Yehudah, And it will devour the palaces of Yerushalayim.” 6 Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Yisra’el, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; Because they have sold the righteous for silver, And the needy for a pair of shoes; 7 They trample on the dust of the eretz on the head of the poor, And deny justice to the oppressed; And a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name; 8 And they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; And in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined. 9 Yet I destroyed the Amori before them, Whose height was like the height of the cedars, And he was strong as the oaks; Yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. 10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim, And led you forty years in the wilderness, To possess the land of the Amori. 11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, And some of your young men for Nazirim. Isn’t this true, You children of Yisra’el?” says the LORD. 12 “But you gave the Nazirim wine to drink, And commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’ 13 Behold, I will crush you in your place, As a cart crushes that is full of grain. 14 Flight will perish from the swift; And the strong won’t strengthen his force; Neither shall the mighty deliver himself; 15 Neither shall he stand who handles the bow; And he who is swift of foot won’t escape; Neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself; 16 And he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked in that day,” says the LORD.

3:1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, children of Yisra’el, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Mitzrayim, saying: 2 “You only have I chosen of all the families of the eretz. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.” 3 Do two walk together, Unless they have agreed? 4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, When he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, If he has caught nothing? 5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the eretz, Where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, When there is nothing to catch? 6 Does the shofar alarm sound in a city, Without the people being afraid? Does evil befall a city, And the LORD hasn’t done it? 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, Unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. 8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken. Who can but prophesy? 9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, And in the palaces in the land of Mitzrayim, And say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Shomron, And see what unrest is in her, And what oppression is among them.” 10 “Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.” 11 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “An adversary will overrun the land; And he will pull down your strongholds, And your fortresses will be plundered.” 12 Thus says the LORD: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, Or a piece of an ear, So shall the children of Yisra’el be rescued who sit in Shomron on the corner of a couch, And on the silken cushions of a bed.” 13 “Listen, and testify against the house of Ya`akov,” says the Lord GOD, the God Tzva’ot,. 14″For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Yisra’el on him, I will also visit the altars of Beit-El; And the horns of the altar will be cut off, And fall to the ground. 15 I will strike the winter house with the summer house; And the houses of ivory will perish, And the great houses will have an end,” says the LORD.

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 2:1 – 17

2:1 To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden menorot says these things: 
2 “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false. 
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary. 
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love. 
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your menorah out of its place, unless you repent. 
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God. 
8 “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things: 
9 “I know your oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Yehudim, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Hasatan. 
10 Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be hurt by the second death.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things: 
13 “I know your works and where you dwell, where Hasatan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Hasatan dwells. 
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Bil`am, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Yisra’el, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 
15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans in the same way. 
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

PSALMS: 19, 49, 79, 109, 139

PROVERBS: 19

OLD TESTAMENT: JOEL 1:1 – 3:21

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 1:1 – 20

PSALMS: 19

1 The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork. 
2 Day after day they pour forth speech,
And night after night they display knowledge. 
3 There is no speech nor language,
Where their voice is not heard. 
4 Their voice has gone out through all the eretz,
Their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun, 
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. 
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
His circuit to the ends of it;
There is nothing hid from the heat of it. 
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul.
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart.
The mitzvah of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb. 
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned.
In keeping them there is great reward. 
12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive me from hidden errors. 
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright,
I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. 
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.

PSALMS: 49

1 Hear this, all you peoples.
Listen, all you inhabitants of the world, 
2 Both low and high,
Rich and poor together. 
3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom.
My heart shall utter understanding. 
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb.
I will open my riddle on the harp. 
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,
When iniquity at my heels surrounds me? 
6 Those who trust in their wealth,
And boast in the multitude of their riches — 
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor give God a ransom for him. 
8 For the redemption of their life is costly,
No payment is ever enough, 
9 That he should live on forever,
That he should not see corruption. 
10 For he sees that wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless perish,
And leave their wealth to others. 
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses will endure forever,
And their dwelling places to all generations.
They name their lands after themselves. 
12 But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure.
He is like the animals that perish.
13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish,
And of those who approve their sayings. Selah. 
14 They are appointed as a flock for She’ol.
Death shall be their shepherd.
The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning.
Their beauty shall decay in She’ol,
Far from their mansion. 
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of She’ol,
For he will receive me.
Selah. 
16 Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich,
When the glory of his house is increased. 
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away.
His glory shall not descend after him. 
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul —
And men praise you when you do well for yourself — 
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers.
They shall never see the light. 
20 A man who has riches without understanding,
Is like the animals that perish.

PSALMS: 79

1 God, the nations have come into your inheritance.
They have defiled your holy temple.
They have laid Yerushalayim in heaps. 
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, The flesh of your holy ones to the animals of the eretz. 
3 Their blood they have shed like water around Yerushalayim.
There was no one to bury them. 
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever?
Will your jealousy burn like fire? 
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you;
On the kingdoms that don’t call on your names; 
7 For they have devoured Ya`akov,
And destroyed his homeland. 
8 Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.
Let your tender mercies speedily meet us,
For we are in desperate need. 
9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake. 
10 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes,
That vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out. 
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you.
According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death;
12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom
Their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord. 
13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture,
Will give you thanks forever.
We will praise you forever, to all generations.

PSALMS: 109

1 God of my praise, don’t remain silent, 
2 For they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue. 
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without a cause. 
4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries;
But I am in prayer. 
5 They have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love. 
6 Set a wicked man over him.
Let an adversary stand at his right hand. 
7  When he is judged, let him come forth guilty.
Let his prayer be turned into sin. 
8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office. 
9 Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow. 
10 Let his children be wandering beggars.
Let them be sought from their ruins. 
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has.
Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor. 
12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him,
Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children. 
13 Let his posterity be cut off.
In the generation following let their name be blotted out. 
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD.
Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out. 
15 Let them be before the LORD continually,
That he may cut off the memory of them from the eretz; 
16 Because he didn’t remember to show kindness,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
The broken in heart, to kill them. 
17  Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him.
He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him. 
18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.
It came into his inward parts like water,
Like oil into his bones. 
19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,
For the belt that is always around him. 
20 This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD,
Of those who speak evil against my soul. 
21 But deal with me, the LORD the Lord, for your name’s sake,
Because your loving kindness is good, deliver me; 
22 For I am poor and needy.
My heart is wounded within me. 
23 I fade away like an evening shadow.
I am shaken off as the arbeh. 
24 My knees are weak through fasting.
My body is thin and lacks fat. 
25 I have also become a reproach to them.
When they see me, they shake their head. 
26 Help me, LORD, my God.
Save me according to your loving kindness;
27  That they may know that this is your hand;
That you, LORD, have done it. 
28 They may curse, but you bless.
When they arise, they will be put to shame,
But your servant shall rejoice. 
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor.
Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. 
30 I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth.
Yes, I will praise him among the multitude. 
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.

PSALMS: 139

1 LORD, you have searched me,
And you know me. 
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up.
You perceive my thoughts from afar. 
3 You search out my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways. 
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But, behold, LORD, you know it altogether. 
5 You tzitzit me in behind and before.
You laid your hand on me. 
6 This knowledge is beyond me.
It is lofty. I can’t attain it. 
7 Where could I go from your Spirit?
Or where could I flee from your presence? 
8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.
If I make my bed in She’ol, behold, you are there! 
9 If I take the wings of the dawn,
And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; 
10 Even there your hand will lead me,
And your right hand will hold me. 
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me;
The light around me will be night;” 
12 Even the darkness doesn’t hide from you,
But the night shines as the day.
The darkness is like light to you. 
13 For you formed my inmost being.
You knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
14 I will give thanks to you,
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful.
My soul knows that very well. 
15 My frame wasn’t hidden from you,
When I was made in secret,
Woven together in the depths of the eretz. 
16 Your eyes saw my body.
In your book they were all written,
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there were none of them. 
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them! 
18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.
When I wake up, I am still with you. 
19 If only you, God, would kill the wicked.
Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men! 
20 For they speak against you wickedly.
Your enemies take your name in vain. 
21 LORD, don’t I hate those who hate you?
Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you? 
22 I hate them with perfect hatred.
They have become my enemies. 
23 Search me, God, and know my heart.
Try me, and know my thoughts.
24 See if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.

PROVERBS: 19

1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool. 
2 It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge;
Nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way. 
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way;
His heart rages against the LORD. 
4 Wealth adds many friends,
But the poor is separated from his friend. 
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who pours out lies shall not go free. 
6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,
And everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts. 
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him:
How much more do his friends avoid him!
He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone. 
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
He who keeps understanding shall find good. 
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who utters lies shall perish. 
10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
Much less for a servant to have rule over princes. 
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.
It is his glory to overlook an offense. 
12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is like dew on the grass. 
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father.
A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping. 
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the LORD. 
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.
The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He who keeps the mitzvah keeps his soul,
But he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die. 
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;
He will reward him. 
18 Discipline your son, for there is hope;
Don’t be a willing party to his death. 
19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,
For if you rescue him, you must do it again. 
20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, ‘
That you may be wise in your latter end. 
21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,
But the LORD’s counsel will prevail. 
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
A poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment;
He rests and will not be touched by trouble. 
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
He will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 
25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 
26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother,
Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. 
27 Stop, my son, listening to instruction,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge. 
28 A corrupt witness mocks justice,
And the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity. 
29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers,
And beatings for the backs of fools.

OLD TESTAMENT: JOEL 1:1 – 3:21

1:1 The Word of the LORD that came to Yo’el, the son of Petu’el. 2 Hear this, you Zakenim, And listen, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this ever happened in your days, Or in the days of your fathers? 3 Tell your children about it, And have your children tell their children, And their children, another generation. 4 What the swarming arbeh has left, the great arbeh has eaten. What the great arbeh has left, the khagav has eaten. What the khagav has left, the caterpillar has eaten. 5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; For it is cut off from your mouth. 6 For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a lioness. 7 He has laid my vine waste, And stripped my fig tree. He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches are made white. 8 Mourn like a virgin dressed in sackcloth for the husband of her youth! 9 The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from the LORD’s house. The Kohanim, the LORD’s ministers, mourn. 10 The field is laid waste. The land mourns, for the grain is destroyed, The new wine has dried up, And the oil languishes. 11 Be confounded, you farmers! Wail, you vineyard keepers; For the wheat and for the barley; For the harvest of the field has perished. 12 The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, Even all of the trees of the field are withered; For joy has withered away from the sons of men. 13 Put on sackcloth and mourn, you Kohanim! Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, For the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from your God’s house. 14 Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the Zakenim, And all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of the LORD, your God, And cry to the LORD. 15 Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is at hand, And it will come as destruction from Shaddai. 16 Isn’t the food cut off before our eyes; Joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17 The seeds rot under their clods. The granaries are laid desolate. The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered. 18 How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 19 The LORD, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, And the flame has burned all the trees of the field. 20 Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, For the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

2:1 Blow you the shofar in Tziyon, And sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of the LORD comes, For it is close at hand: 2 A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, A great and strong people; There has never been the like, Neither will there be any more after them, Even to the years of many generations. 3 A fire devours before them, And behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of `Eden before them, And behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them. 4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, And as horsemen, so do they run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, Like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, As a strong people set in battle array. 6 At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale. 7 They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course. 8 Neither does one jostle another; They march everyone in his path, And they burst through the defenses, And don’t break ranks. 9 They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.10 The eretz quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining. 11 The LORD thunders his voice before his army; For his forces are very great; For he is strong who obeys his command; For the day of the LORD is great and very awesome, And who can endure it? 12 “Yet even now,” says the LORD, “turn to me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.” 13 Tear your heart, and not your garments, And turn to the LORD, your God; For he is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, And relents from sending calamity. 14 Who knows? He may turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind him, Even a meal offering and a drink offering to the LORD, your God. 15 Blow the shofar in Tziyon! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. 16 Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the Zakenim. Gather the children, and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, And the bride out of her chamber. 17  Let the Kohanim, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, “Spare your people, LORD, And don’t give your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?'” 18 Then the LORD was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people. 19 The LORD answered his people, “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, And you will be satisfied with them; And I will no more make you a reproach among the nations. 20 But I will remove the northern army far away from you, And will drive it into a barren and desolate land, Its front into the eastern sea, And its back into the western sea; And its stench will come up, And its bad smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things. 21 Land, don’t be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things. 22 Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; For the pastures of the wilderness spring up, For the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. 23 “Be glad then, you children of Tziyon, And rejoice in the LORD, your God; For he gives you the former rain in just measure, And he causes the rain to come down for you, The former rain and the latter rain, As before. 24 The threshing floors will be full of wheat, And the vats will overflow with new wine and oil. 25 I will restore to you the years that the swarming arbeh has eaten, The great arbeh, the khagav, and the caterpillar, My great army, which I sent among you. 26 You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, And will praise the name of the LORD, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And my people will never again be put to shame. 27 You will know that I am in the midst of Yisra’el, And that I am the LORD, your God, and there is no one else; And my people will never again be put to shame. 28 “It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; And your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions. 29 And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit. 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and in the eretz: Blood, fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes. 32 It will happen that whoever will call on the name of the LORD shall be saved; For in Mount Tziyon and in Yerushalayim there will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, And among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.

3:1 “For, behold, in those days, And in that time, When I restore the fortunes of Yehudah and Yerushalayim, 2 I will gather all nations, And will bring them down into the valley of Yehoshafat; And I will execute judgment on them there for my people, And for my heritage, Yisra’el, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land, 3 And have cast lots for my people, And have given a boy for a prostitute, And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink. 4 “Yes, and what are you to me, Tzor, and Tzidon, And all the regions of Peleshet? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head. 5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried my finest treasures into your temples, 6 And have sold the children of Yehudah and the children of Yerushalayim to the sons of the Yevanim, That you may remove them far from their border. 7 Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, And will return your repayment on your own head; 8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Yehudah, And they will sell them to the men of Sheva, To a faraway nation, For the LORD has spoken it.” 9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up. 10 Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, “I am strong.” 11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD. 12 “Let the nations arouse themselves, And come up to the valley of Yehoshafat; For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations. 13 Put in the sickle; For the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.” 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near, in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining.” 16 The LORD will roar from Tziyon, And thunder from Yerushalayim; And the heavens and the eretz will shake; But the LORD will be a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to the children of Yisra’el. 17 “So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, Dwelling in Tziyon, my holy mountain. Then Yerushalayim will be holy, And no strangers will pass through her any more. 18 It will happen in that day, That the mountains will drop down sweet wine, The hills will flow with milk, All the brooks of Yehudah will flow with waters; And a fountain will come forth from the house of the LORD, And will water the valley of Shittim. 19 Mitzrayim will be a desolation, And Edom will be a desolate wilderness, For the violence done to the children of Yehudah, Because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Yehudah will be inhabited forever, And Yerushalayim from generation to generation. 21 I will cleanse their blood, That I have not cleansed: For the LORD dwells in Tziyon.”

NEW TESTAMENT: REVELATION 1:1 – 20

1 This is the Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, Yochanan,
2 who testified to God’s word, and of the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah, about everything that he saw. 
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand. 
4 Yochanan, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and shalom, from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne; 
5 and from Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the eretz. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood; 
6 and he made us to be a kingdom, Kohanim to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amein.
7  Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the eretz will mourn over him. Even so, Amein. 
8 “I am the Alef and the Tav,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, Shaddai.” 
9 I Yochanan, your brother and partaker with you in oppression and kingdom and perseverance in Messiah Yeshua, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah. 
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a shofar 
11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden menorot. 
13 And in the midst of the menorot was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest. 
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. 
16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
17  When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amein. I have the keys of Death and of She’ol. 
19Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter; 
20 the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden menorot. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven menorot are seven assemblies.

OLD TESTAMENT: HOSEA 10: – 14:9

NEW TESTAMENT: JUDE 1:1 – 25

PSALMS: 18

1 I love you, LORD, my strength. 
2 The LORD is my rock,
and my fortress, and my deliverer;
My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge;
My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. 
3 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies. 
4 The cords of death surrounded me.
The floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 
5 The cords of She’ol were round about me;
The snares of death came on me. 
6 In my distress I called on the LORD,
And cried to my God.
He heard my voice out of his temple,
My cry before him came into his ears. 
7 Then the eretz shook and trembled.
The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken,
Because he was angry. 
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
Fire out of his mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it. 
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down.
Thick darkness was under his feet. 
10 He rode on a Keruv, and flew.
Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind. 
11 He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion around him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,
Hailstones and coals of fire. 
13 The LORD also thundered in the sky,
The Elyon uttered his voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them;
Yes, lightnings manifold, and routed them. 
15 Then the channels of waters appeared,
The foundations of the world were laid bare,
At your rebuke, LORD,
At the blast of the breath of your nostrils. 
16 He sent from on high.
He took me.
He drew me out of many waters. 
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me;
for they were too mighty for me. 
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity,
But the LORD was my support. 
19 He brought me forth also into a large place.
He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness.
According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
And have not wickedly departed from my God. 
22 For all his ordinances were before me.
I didn’t put away his statutes from me. 
23 I was also blameless with him.
I kept myself from my iniquity. 
24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful.
With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect. 
26 With the pure, you will show yourself pure.
With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd. 
27 For you will save the afflicted people,
But the haughty eyes you will bring down. 
28 For you will light my lamp.
The LORD, my God, will light up my darkness.
29 For by you, I advance through a troop.
By my God, I leap over a wall. 
30 As for God, his way is perfect.
The word of the LORD is tried.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. 
31 For who is God, except the LORD?
Who is a rock, besides our God, 
32 The God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect? 
33 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet,
And sets me on my high places. 
34 He teaches my hands to war;
So that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation.
Your right hand sustains me.
Your gentleness has made me great. 
36 You have enlarged my steps under me,
My feet have not slipped. 
37 I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them.
Neither will I turn again until they are consumed. 
38 I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise.
They shall fall under my feet. 
39 For you have girded me with strength to the battle.
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. 
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
That I might cut off those who hate me. 
41 They cried, but there was none to save;
Even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them. 
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind.
I cast them out as the mire of the streets. 
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people.
You have made me the head of the nations.
A people whom I have not known shall serve me. 
44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me.
The foreigners shall submit themselves to me. 
45 The foreigners shall fade away,
And shall come trembling out of their close places. 
46 The LORD lives;
and blessed be my rock.
Exalted be the God of my salvation, 
47 Even the God who executes vengeance for me,
And subdues peoples under me. 
48 He rescues me from my enemies.
Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me.
You deliver me from the violent man. 
49 Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations,
And will sing praises to your name. 
50 He gives great deliverance to his king,
And shows loving kindness to his anointed,
To David and to his seed, forevermore.

PSALMS: 48

1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. 
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole eretz,
Is Mount Tziyon, on the north sides,
The city of the great King. 
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge. 
4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.
5 They saw it, then were they amazed.
They were dismayed,
They hurried away. 
6 Trembling took hold of them there,
Pain, as of a woman in travail. 
7  With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish. 
8 As we have heard, so have we seen,
In the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God.
God will establish it forever.
Selah. 
9 We have thought about your loving kindness,
God, In the midst of your temple. 
10 As is your name, God,
So is your praise to the ends of the eretz.
Your right hand is full of righteousness. 
11 Let Mount Tziyon be glad!
Let the daughters of Yehudah rejoice,
Because of your judgments. 
12 Walk about Tziyon, and go around her.
Number the towers of it; 
13 Mark well her bulwarks.
Consider her palaces, ‘
That you may tell it to the next generation. 
14 For this God is our God forever and ever.
He will be our guide even to death.

PSALMS: 78

1 Hear my law, my people.
Turn your ears to the words of my mouth. 
2 I will open my mouth in a parable.
I will utter dark sayings of old, 
3 Which we have heard and known,
Our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children,
Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,
His strength, and his wondrous works that he has done. 
5 For he established a testimony in Yaakov, And appointed a law in Yisra'el, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

6 That the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; Who should arise and tell their children,

7 That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his mitzvot,

8 And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that didn't make their hearts loyal, Whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

9 The children of Efrayim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.

10 They didn't keep the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law. 11 hey forgot his doings, His wondrous works that he had shown them.

12 Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Mitzrayim, in the field of Tzoan. 
13 He split the sea, and caused them to pass through;
He made the waters stand as a heap.
14 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud,
All the night with a light of fire. 
15 He split rocks in the wilderness,
And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths. 
16 He brought streams also out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers. 
17 Yet they still went on to sin against him,
To rebel against HaElyon in the desert. 18 They tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

19 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness

20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, Streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?"

21 Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Yaakov,
Anger also went up against Yisra’el, 
22 Because they didn’t believe in God,
And didn’t trust in his yeshuah.

23 Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven.

24 He rained down manna on them to eat, And gave them food from the sky.

25 Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind. 27 He rained also flesh on them as the dust; Winged birds as the sand of the seas.

28 He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Around their habitations.

29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

30 hey didn't turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

31 When the anger of God went up against them, And killed some of the fattest of them, And struck down the young men of Yisra'el.

32 For all this they still sinned, And didn't believe in his wondrous works.

33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, And their years in terror.

34 When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.

35 They remembered that God was their rock, ‘ The ElElyon their redeemer. 
36 But they flattered him with their mouth,
And lied to him with their tongue. 
37  For their heart was not right with him,
Neither were they faithful in his covenant. 
38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity,
and didn’t destroy them.
Yes, many times he turned his anger away,
And didn’t stir up all his wrath. 
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,
A wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again. 
40 How often did they rebel against him in the wilderness,
And grieve him in the desert! 
41 They turned again and tempted God,
And provoked the Holy One of Yisra’el. 
42 They didn’t remember his hand,
Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; 
43 How he set his signs in Mitzrayim,
His wonders in the field of Tzoan,

44 Turned their rivers into blood, Their streams, so that they could not drink.

45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; Frogs, which destroyed them.

46 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, Their labor to the arbeh.

47 He destroyed their vines with hail, Their sycamore-fig trees with frost. 48 He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

49 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, indignation, and trouble, And a band of angels of evil.

50 He made a path for his anger. He didn't spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

51 And struck all the firstborn in Mitzrayim, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53 He led them safely, so that they weren't afraid, But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

55 He also drove out the nations before them, Allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Yisra'el to dwell in their tents.

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against HaElyon God, And didn’t keep his testimonies; 
57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers.
They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
And moved him to jealousy with their engraved images. 
59 When God heard this, he was angry,
And greatly abhorred Yisra’el;
60 So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh,
The tent which he placed among men; 
61 And delivered his strength into captivity,
His glory into the adversary’s hand. 
62 He also gave his people over to the sword,
And was angry with his inheritance. 
63 Fire devoured their young men;
Their virgins had no wedding song. 
64 Their Kohanim fell by the sword;
Their widows made no lamentation. 
65 Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep,
Like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine. 
66 He struck his adversaries backward.
He put them to a perpetual reproach. 
67 Moreover he rejected the tent of Yosef,
And didn’t choose the tribe of Efrayim, 
68 But chose the tribe of Yehudah,
Mount Tziyon which he loved. 
69 He built his sanctuary like the heights,
Like the eretz which he has established forever. 
70 He also chose David his servant,
And took him from the sheepfolds;
71 From following the ewes that have their young he brought him
To be the shepherd of Ya`akov, his people, and Yisra’el, his inheritance.
72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart,
And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

PSALMS: 108

1 My heart is steadfast, God.
I will sing and I will make music with my soul. 
2 Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn. 
3 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations.
I will sing praises to you among the peoples. 
4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens,
Let your glory be over all the eretz. 
6 That your beloved may be delivered,
Save with your right hand, and answer us. 
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“In triumph, I will divide Shekhem, and measure out the valley of Sukkot. 
8 Gil`ad is mine.
Menashsheh is mine.
Efrayim also is my helmet.
Yehudah is my scepter. 
9 Mo’av is my wash pot.
I will toss my sandal on Edom.
I will shout over Peleshet.” 
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who has led me to Edom? 
11 Haven’t you rejected us, God?
‘You don’t go forth, God, with our armies. 
12 Give us help against the enemy,
For the help of man is vain. 
13 Through God, we will do valiantly.
For it is he who will tread down our enemies.

PROVERBS: 18

1 An unfriendly man pursues selfishness,
And defies all sound judgment. 
2 A fool has no delight in understanding,
But only in broadcasting his own opinion. 
3 When wickedness comes, contempt also comes,
And with shame comes disgrace. 
4 The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters.
The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook. 
5 To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good,
Nor to deprive the innocent of justice. 
6 A fool’s lips come into strife,
And his mouth invites beatings. 
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are a snare to his soul. 
8 The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels:
They go down into a person’s innermost parts. 
9 One who is slack in his work
Is brother to him who is a master of destruction. 
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower:
The righteous run to him, and are safe. 
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
Like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. 
12 Before destruction the heart of man is proud,
But before honor is humility. 
13 He who gives answer before he hears,
That is folly and shame to him. 
14 A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness,
But a crushed spirit who can bear? 
15 The heart of the discerning gets knowledge.
The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 A man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men. 
17  He who pleads his cause first seems right;
Until another comes and questions him. 
18 The lot settles disputes,
And keeps strong ones apart. 
19 A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city;
And disputes are like the bars of a castle. 
20 A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth.
With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied. 
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue;
Those who love it will eat its fruit. 
22 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor of the LORD. 
23 The poor pleads for mercy,
But the rich answers harshly. 
24 A man of many companions may be ruined,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

OLD TESTAMENT: HOSEA 10:1 – 14:9

10:1 Yisra’el is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones. 2 Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones. 3 Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear the LORD; And the king, what can he do for us?” 4 They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field. 5 The inhabitants of Shomron will be in terror for the calves of Beit-Aven; For its people will mourn over it, Along with its Kohanim who rejoiced over it, For its glory, because it has departed from it. 6 It also will be carried to Ashshur for a present to king Yarev. Efrayim will receive shame, And Yisra’el will be ashamed of his own counsel. 7  Shomron and her king float away, Like a twig on the water. 8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Yisra’el, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!” 9 “Yisra’el, you have sinned from the days of Gevah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gevah. 10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them; And the nations will be gathered against them, When they are bound to their two transgressions. 11 Efrayim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; So I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Efrayim. Yehudah will plow. Ya`akov will break his clods. 12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; For it is time to seek the LORD, Until he comes and rains righteousness on you. 13 You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, For you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men. 14 Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, And all your fortresses will be destroyed, As Shalman destroyed Beit-Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children. 15 So Beit-El will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Yisra’el will be destroyed.

11:1 “When Yisra’el was a child, then I loved him, And called my son out of Mitzrayim. 2 They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baalim, And burned incense to engraved images.

3 Yet I taught Efrayim to walk. I took them by his arms; But they didn't know that I healed them.

4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; And I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; And I bent down to him and I fed him.

5 They will not return into the land of Mitzrayim; But the Ashshur will be their king, Because they refused to repent.

6 The sword will fall on their cities, And will consume their gate bars, And will put an end to their plans.

7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to HaElyon, He certainly won’t exalt them. 8 “How can I give you up, Efrayim? How can I hand you over, Yisra’el? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Tzevoyim? My heart is turned within me, My compassion is aroused. 9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Efrayim: For I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; And I will not come in wrath. 10 They will walk after the LORD, Who will roar like a lion; For he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west. 11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Mitzrayim, And like a dove out of the land of Ashshur; And I will settle them in their houses,” says the LORD. 12 Efrayim surrounds me with falsehood, And the house of Yisra’el with deceit; And Yehudah still us unruly with God, And is unfaithful to the Holy One.

12:1 Efrayim feeds on wind, And chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Ashshur, And oil is carried into Mitzrayim. 2 The LORD also has a controversy with Yehudah, And will punish Yaakov according to his ways; According to his deeds he will repay him.

3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel; And in his manhood he had power with God.

4 Indeed, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; He wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Beit-El, and there he spoke with us,

5 Even the LORD, the God Tzva'ot,; The LORD is his name of renown!

6 Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, And wait for your God continually.

7 A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand. He loves to defraud.

8 Efrayim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won't find in me any iniquity that is sin."

9 "But I am the LORD your God from the land of Mitzrayim. I will yet again make you to dwell in tents, As in the days of the solemn feast.

10 I have also spoken to the prophets, And I have multiplied visions; And by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.11 If Gilad is wicked, Surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field. 12 Ya`akov fled into the country of Aram, And Yisra’el served to get a wife, And for a wife he tended flocks and herds. 13 By a prophet the LORD brought Yisra’el up out of Mitzrayim, And by a prophet he was preserved. 
14 Efrayim has provoked to anger most bitterly. Therefore his blood will be left on him, And his his Lord will repay his contempt.

13:1 When Efrayim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Yisra’el, But when he became guilty in Ba`al, he died. 2 Now they sin more and more, And have made themselves molten images of their silver, Even idols according to their own understanding, All of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, “They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.” 3 Therefore they will be like the morning cloud, And like the dew that passes away early, Like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, And like the smoke out of the chimney. 4 “Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Mitzrayim; And you will know no god but me, And besides me there is no savior. 5 I knew you in the wilderness, In the land of great drought. 6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me. 7 Therefore am I to them like a lion; Like a leopard I will lurk by the path. 8 I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, And will tear the covering of their heart. And there I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them. 9 You are destroyed, Yisra’el, because you are against me, Against your help. 10 Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes?’ 11 I have given you a king in my anger, And have taken him away in my wrath. 12 The guilt of Efrayim is stored up. His sin is stored up. 13 The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son; For when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb. 14 I will ransom them from the power of She’ol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? She’ol, where is your destruction? Compassion will be hidden from my eyes. 15 Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, The breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; And his spring will become dry, And his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure. 16 Shomron will bear her guilt; For she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open.”

14:1 Yisra’el, return to the LORD your God; For you have fallen because of your sin. 2 Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, And accept that which is good: So we offer like bulls our lips. 3 Ashshur can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ For in you the fatherless finds mercy.” 4 “I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; For my anger is turned away from him. 5 I will be like the dew to Yisra’el. He will blossom like the lily, And send down his roots like Levanon. 6 His branches will spread, And his beauty will be like the olive tree, And his fragrance like Levanon. 7 Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, And blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Levanon. 8 Efrayim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; From me your fruit is found.” 9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, And the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.

NEW TESTAMENT: JUDE 1:1 – 25

1:1 Yehudah, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and brother of Yaakov, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Yeshua the Messiah:

2 Mercy to you and shalom and love be multiplied.

3 Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the holy ones.

4 For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even they who were of old written of beforehand to this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.

5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Mitzrayim, afterward destroyed those who didn't believe.

6 Messengers who didn't keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sedom and Amorah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
8 Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings. 
9 But Mikha’el, the chief angel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moshe, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!” 
10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. 
11 Woe to them! For they went in the way of Kayin, and ran riotously in the error of Bil`am for hire, and perished in Korach’s rebellion. 
12 These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 
13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. 
14 To these also Hanokh, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, 
15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 
16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage. 
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 
18 They said to you that “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.” 
19 These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit. 
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach HaKodesh. 
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to eternal life. 
22 On some have compassion, making a distinction, 
23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh. 
24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy, 
25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amein.
