Exodus 20:1-20

New International Version

The Ten Commandments^(A)

20 And God spoke^(B) all these words:^(C)

²“I am the Lord your God,^(D) who brought you out^(E) of Egypt,^(F) out of the land of slavery.^(G)

³“You shall have no other gods before^[a] me.^(H)

⁴“You shall not make for yourself an image^(I) in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. ⁵You shall not bow down to them or worship^(J) them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,^(K) punishing the children for the sin of the parents^(L) to the third and fourth generation^(M) of those who hate me, ⁶but showing love to a thousand^(N) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

⁷“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.^(O)

⁸“Remember the Sabbath^(P) day by keeping it holy. ⁹Six days you shall labor and do all your work,^(Q) ¹⁰but the seventh day is a sabbath^(R) to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. ¹¹For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,^(S) the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested^(T) on the seventh day.^(U) Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

¹²“Honor your father and your mother,^(V) so that you may live long^(W) in the land^(X) the Lord your God is giving you.

¹³“You shall not murder.^(Y)

¹⁴“You shall not commit adultery.^(Z)

¹⁵“You shall not steal.^(AA)

¹⁶“You shall not give false testimony^(AB) against your neighbor.^(AC)

¹⁷“You shall not covet^(AD) your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

¹⁸When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet^(AE) and saw the mountain in smoke,^(AF) they trembled with fear.^(AG) They stayed at a distance ¹⁹and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak^(AH) to us or we will die.”^(AI)

²⁰Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid.^(AJ) God has come to test^(AK) you, so that the fear^(AL) of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”^(AM)

Isaiah 53:5-12

New International Version

⁵But he was pierced^(A) for our transgressions,^(B)
    he was crushed^(C) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(D) that brought us peace^(E) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(F) we are healed.^(G)
⁶We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(H)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(I)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(J) of us all.

⁷He was oppressed^(K) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;^(L)
he was led like a lamb^(M) to the slaughter,^(N)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸By oppression^[a] and judgment^(O) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;^(P)
    for the transgression^(Q) of my people he was punished.^[b]
⁹He was assigned a grave with the wicked,^(R)
    and with the rich^(S) in his death,
though he had done no violence,^(T)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.^(U)

¹⁰Yet it was the Lord’s will^(V) to crush^(W) him and cause him to suffer,^(X)
    and though the Lord makes^[c] his life an offering for sin,^(Y)
he will see his offspring^(Z) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(AA) in his hand.
¹¹After he has suffered,^(AB)
    he will see the light^(AC) of life^[d] and be satisfied^[e];
by his knowledge^[f] my righteous servant^(AD) will justify^(AE) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.^(AF)
¹²Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,^[g]^(AG)
    and he will divide the spoils^(AH) with the strong,^[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,^(AI)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.^(AJ)
For he bore^(AK) the sin of many,^(AL)
    and made intercession^(AM) for the transgressors.
