The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 He also told this parable to some (H)who trusted (I)in themselves that they were righteous, (J)and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men (K)went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, (L)standing by himself, prayed[a] (M)thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 (N)I fast twice a week; (O)I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, (P)standing far off, (Q)would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but (R)beat his breast, saying, ‘God, (S)be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For (T)everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2 saying,
(A)“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,
and he answered me;
(B)out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
(C)and you heard my voice.
3 (D)For you cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
(E)all your waves and your billows
passed over me.
4 (F)Then I said, ‘I am driven away
from your sight;
(G)yet I shall again look
upon your holy temple.’

for you are the Lord my God.
19 For after (C)I had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, (D)I struck my thigh;
(E)I was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 (F)Is Ephraim my dear son?
(G)Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
(H)Therefore my heart[a] yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.

19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his (B)bones,
20 so that his (C)life loathes bread,
and his appetite (D)the choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and his bones that were not seen (E)stick out.
22 His soul draws near (F)the pit,
and his life to (G)those who bring death.
23 If there be for him (H)an angel,
(I)a mediator, (J)one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is (K)right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found (L)a ransom;
25 let his flesh (M)become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man[a] (N)prays to God, and he accepts him;
he (O)sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he (P)restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men and says:
‘I (Q)sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not repaid to me.

and my life shall (T)look upon the light.’
