Matthew 7-8
English Standard Version
Judging Others
7 (A)“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 (B)For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and (C)with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but (D)do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 (E)“Do not give (F)dogs what is holy, and do not throw your (G)pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
Ask, and It Will Be Given
7 (H)“Ask, (I)and it will be given to you; (J)seek, and you will find; (K)knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for (L)bread, will give him (M)a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, (N)who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will (O)your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
The Golden Rule
12 “So (P)whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is (Q)the Law and the Prophets.
13 (R)“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and (S)the way is hard that leads to life, and (T)those who find it are few.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 (U)“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are (V)ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them (W)by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, (X)every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 (Y)Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them (Z)by their fruits.
I Never Knew You
21 (AA)“Not everyone who (AB)says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will (AC)enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who (AD)does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 (AE)On that day (AF)many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not (AG)prophesy in your name, and cast out demons (AH)in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 (AI)And then will I declare to them, ‘I (AJ)never knew you; (AK)depart from me, (AL)you workers of lawlessness.’
Build Your House on the Rock
24 (AM)“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like (AN)a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like (AO)a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
The Authority of Jesus
28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, (AP)the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 (AQ)for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
8 When he came down from the mountain, (AR)great crowds followed him. 2 (AS)And behold, a leper[b] came to him and (AT)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus[c] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, (AU)“See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, (AV)show yourself to the priest and (AW)offer the gift that Moses commanded, (AX)for a proof to them.”
The Faith of a Centurion
5 (AY)When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but (AZ)only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant,[d] ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, (BA)he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with (BB)no one in Israel[e] have I found such faith. 11 I tell you, (BC)many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 (BD)while the sons of the kingdom (BE)will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place (BF)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you (BG)as you have believed.” (BH)And the servant was healed at that very moment.
Jesus Heals Many
14 (BI)And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw (BJ)his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15 He (BK)touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were (BL)oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits (BM)with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 (BN)This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: (BO)“He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”
The Cost of Following Jesus
18 Now (BP)when Jesus saw a crowd around him, (BQ)he gave orders to go over to the other side. 19 (BR)And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 21 Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave (BS)the dead to bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms a Storm
23 (BT)And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but (BU)he was asleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, (BV)“Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 26 And he said to them, “Why are you (BW)afraid, (BX)O you of little faith?” Then he rose and (BY)rebuked the winds and the sea, and (BZ)there was a great calm. 27 And the men (CA)marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even (CB)winds and sea obey him?”
Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons
28 (CC)And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,[f] two (CD)demon-possessed[g] men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29 And behold, they (CE)cried out, “What have you to do with us, (CF)O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us (CG)before the time?” 30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the (CH)demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, (CI)they begged him to leave their region.

Jeremiah 9-10
English Standard Version
9 [a] (A)Oh that my head were waters,
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night
for the slain of (B)the daughter of my people!
2 [b] Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers' lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all (C)adulterers,
a company of (D)treacherous men.
3 (E)They bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong[c] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
(F)and they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 (G)Let everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every (H)brother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor (I)goes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
(J)they refuse to know me, declares the Lord.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, (K)I will refine them and (L)test them,
for what else can I do, (M)because of my people?
8 (N)Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
(O)it speaks deceitfully;
with his mouth (P)each speaks peace to his neighbor,
but in his heart (Q)he plans an ambush for him.
9 (R)Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the Lord,
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?
10 “I will take up weeping and wailing for the mountains,
and a lamentation for (S)the pastures of the wilderness,
(T)because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,
and the lowing of cattle is not heard;
(U)both the birds of the air and the beasts
have fled and are gone.
11 (V)I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
(W)a lair of jackals,
(X)and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation,
without inhabitant.”
12 (Y)Who is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined (Z)and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through? 13 And the Lord says: (AA)“Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it, 14 but (AB)have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (AC)Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them (AD)poisonous water to drink. 16 (AE)I will scatter them among the nations (AF)whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will (AG)send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
(AH)“Consider, and call for the mourning women to come;
send for the skillful women to come;
18 let them make haste (AI)and raise a wailing over us,
(AJ)that our eyes may run down with tears
and our eyelids flow with water.
19 For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
(AK)‘How we are ruined!
We are utterly shamed,
because we have left the land,
because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Hear, O women, the word of the Lord,
and let your ear receive the word of his mouth;
teach to your daughters a lament,
and each to her neighbor a dirge.
21 For death has come up into our windows;
it has entered our palaces,
(AL)cutting off the children from the streets
and the young men from the squares.
22 Speak: “Thus declares the Lord,
(AM)‘The dead bodies of men shall fall
like dung upon the open field,
(AN)like sheaves after the reaper,
and none shall gather them.’”
23 Thus says the Lord: (AO)“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24 but (AP)let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. (AQ)For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
25 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when (AR)I will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh— 26 (AS)Egypt, Judah, Edom, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and (AT)all who dwell in the desert who cut the corners of their hair, for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are (AU)uncircumcised in heart.”
Idols and the Living God
10 Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the Lord:
“Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,
3 (AV)for the customs of the peoples are vanity.[d]
(AW)A tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 (AX)They decorate it with silver and gold;
(AY)they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
5 Their idols[e] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and (AZ)they cannot speak;
(BA)they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
(BB)for they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”
6 (BC)There is none like you, O Lord;
you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 (BD)Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
For this is your due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
and in all their kingdoms
there is none like you.
8 (BE)They are both (BF)stupid and foolish;
the instruction of idols is but wood!
9 (BG)Beaten silver is brought from (BH)Tarshish,
and gold from (BI)Uphaz.
(BJ)They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
their clothing is violet and purple;
(BK)they are all the work of skilled men.
10 (BL)But the Lord is the true God;
(BM)he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say to them: (BN)“The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth (BO)shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”[f]
12 (BP)It is he who (BQ)made the earth by his power,
(BR)who established the world by his wisdom,
and (BS)by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
13 (BT)When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
(BU)and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
(BV)He makes lightning (BW)for the rain,
(BX)and he brings forth the wind (BY)from his storehouses.
14 (BZ)Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
(CA)every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
(CB)and there is no breath in them.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 Not like these is he who is (CC)the portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
(CD)and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
(CE)the Lord of hosts is his name.
17 (CF)Gather up your bundle from the ground,
O you who dwell under siege!
18 For thus says the Lord:
(CG)“Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land
at this time,
(CH)and I will bring distress on them,
that they may feel it.”
19 Woe is me because of my hurt!
(CI)My wound is grievous.
But I said, “Truly this is an affliction,
and I must bear it.”
20 (CJ)My tent is destroyed,
and all my cords are broken;
my children have gone from me,
(CK)and they are not;
there is no one to spread my tent again
and (CL)to set up my curtains.
21 (CM)For the shepherds (CN)are stupid
and do not inquire of the Lord;
therefore they have not prospered,
(CO)and all their flock is scattered.
22 A voice, a rumor! Behold, it comes!—
(CP)a great commotion out of the north country
to make (CQ)the cities of Judah a desolation,
(CR)a lair of jackals.
23 (CS)I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself,
that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 (CT)Correct me, O Lord, but in justice;
not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 (CU)Pour out your wrath on the nations that know you not,
and on the peoples that call not on your name,
(CV)for they have devoured Jacob;
they have devoured him and consumed him,
and have laid waste his habitation.

Job 5
English Standard Version
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.
12 He (K)frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He (L)catches the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
and (M)grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he (N)saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
and (O)injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold, (P)blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore (Q)despise not the discipline of the (R)Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he (S)binds up;
he (T)shatters, but his hands heal.
19 He will (U)deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no (V)evil[d] shall touch you.
20 (W)In famine he will redeem you from death,
and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be (X)hidden from the lash of the tongue,
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh,
and shall not fear (Y)the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your (Z)tent is at peace,
and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
25 You shall know also that your (AA)offspring shall be many,
and your descendants as (AB)the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in (AC)ripe old age,
like a sheaf gathered up in its season.
27 Behold, this we have (AD)searched out; it is true.
Hear, and know it for your good.”[e]
