5 “Call now; is there anyone who will answer you?
To which of (A)the holy ones will you turn?
2 Surely vexation kills the fool,
and jealousy slays the simple.
3 (B)I have seen the fool taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
4 His children are (C)far from safety;
they are crushed in (D)the gate,
and there is no one to deliver them.
5 The hungry eat his harvest,
and he takes it even out of thorns,[a]
and the thirsty pant[b] after his[c] wealth.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 but man is (E)born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward.
8 “As for me, I would seek God,
and to God would I commit my cause,
9 who (F)does great things and (G)unsearchable,
(H)marvelous things without number:
10 he gives (I)rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;
11 he (J)sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

5 “Call if you will, but who will answer you?(A)
To which of the holy ones(B) will you turn?
2 Resentment(C) kills a fool,
and envy slays the simple.(D)
3 I myself have seen(E) a fool taking root,(F)
but suddenly(G) his house was cursed.(H)
4 His children(I) are far from safety,(J)
crushed in court(K) without a defender.(L)
5 The hungry consume his harvest,(M)
taking it even from among thorns,
and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground.(N)
7 Yet man is born to trouble(O)
as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God;
I would lay my cause before him.(P)
9 He performs wonders(Q) that cannot be fathomed,(R)
miracles that cannot be counted.(S)
10 He provides rain for the earth;(T)
he sends water on the countryside.(U)
11 The lowly he sets on high,(V)
and those who mourn(W) are lifted(X) to safety.

17 “Behold, (A)blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore (B)despise not the discipline of the (C)Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he (D)binds up;
he (E)shatters, but his hands heal.
19 He will (F)deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no (G)evil[a] shall touch you.
20 (H)In famine he will redeem you from death,
and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be (I)hidden from the lash of the tongue,
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.

Saul Proclaims Jesus in Synagogues
For (B)some days he was with the disciples at Damascus. 20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, (C)“He is the Son of God.” 21 And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who (D)made havoc (E)in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?” 22 But Saul (F)increased all the more in strength, and (G)confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving (H)that Jesus was the Christ.
Saul Escapes from Damascus
23 (I)When many days had passed, the Jews[a] plotted to kill him, 24 but their (J)plot became known to Saul. (K)They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him, 25 but his disciples took him by night and (L)let him down through an opening in the wall,[b] lowering him in a basket.
Saul in Jerusalem
26 And (M)when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 But (N)Barnabas took him and (O)brought him to the apostles and declared to them (P)how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and (Q)how at Damascus he had (R)preached boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 So he went (S)in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 And he spoke and disputed against (T)the Hellenists.[c] But (U)they were seeking to kill him. 30 And when (V)the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off (W)to Tarsus.
31 So (X)the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And (Y)walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, (Z)it multiplied.

Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem
Saul spent several days with the disciples(A) in Damascus.(B) 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues(C) that Jesus is the Son of God.(D) 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name?(E) And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”(F) 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.(G)
23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him,(H) 24 but Saul learned of their plan.(I) Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.(J)
26 When he came to Jerusalem,(K) he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas(L) took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him,(M) and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.(N) 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews,[a](O) but they tried to kill him.(P) 30 When the believers(Q) learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea(R) and sent him off to Tarsus.(S)
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria(T) enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.(U)

52 The Jews then (A)disputed among themselves, saying, (B)“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of (C)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you (D)have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (E)has eternal life, and (F)I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (G)abides in me, and I in him. 57 As (H)the living Father (I)sent me, and (J)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 (K)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[b] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught (L)at Capernaum.

52 Then the Jews(A) began to argue sharply among themselves,(B) “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh(C) of the Son of Man(D) and drink his blood,(E) you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.(F) 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.(G) 57 Just as the living Father sent me(H) and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”(I) 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
