Isaiah 1:11-20

English Standard Version

¹¹^(A)“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
    says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
    and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
    or of lambs, or of goats.

¹²“When you come to ^(B)appear before me,
    who has required of you
    this trampling of my courts?
¹³Bring no more vain offerings;
    incense is an abomination to me.
^(C)New moon and Sabbath and the ^(D)calling of convocations—
    I cannot endure ^(E)iniquity and ^(F)solemn assembly.
¹⁴Your ^(G)new moons and your appointed feasts
    my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
    I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵When you ^(H)spread out your hands,
    I will hide my eyes from you;
^(I)even though you make many prayers,
    I will not listen;
    ^(J)your hands are full of blood.
¹⁶^(K)Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
    remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
^(L)cease to do evil,
¹⁷    learn to do good;
^(M)seek justice,
    correct oppression;
^(N)bring justice to the fatherless,
    plead the widow's cause.

¹⁸“Come now, ^(O)let us reason^[a] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as ^(P)white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
    they shall become like wool.
¹⁹^(Q)If you are willing and obedient,
    you shall eat the good of the land;
²⁰but if you refuse and rebel,
    you shall be eaten by the sword;
    ^(R)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Sing to the Lord a New Song

149 ^(A)Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord ^(B)a new song,
    his praise in ^(C)the assembly of the godly!
²Let Israel ^(D)be glad in ^(E)his Maker;

    making melody to him with ^(H)tambourine and ^(I)lyre!

    and ^(O)two-edged swords in their hands,
⁷to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishments on the peoples,
⁸to bind their kings with ^(P)chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
⁹to execute on them the judgment ^(Q)written!
    ^(R)This is honor for all his godly ones.

2 Thessalonians 1

English Standard Version

Greeting

1 ^(A)Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving

³^(B)We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers,^[a] as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. ⁴Therefore ^(C)we ourselves boast about you ^(D)in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith ^(E)in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.

The Judgment at Christ's Coming

⁵This is ^(F)evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be ^(G)considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— ⁶since indeed God considers it ^(H)just ^(I)to repay with affliction those who afflict you, ⁷and to grant ^(J)relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when ^(K)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven ^(L)with his mighty angels ⁸^(M)in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those ^(N)who do not know God and on those who ^(O)do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. ⁹They will suffer the punishment of ^(P)eternal destruction, ^(Q)away from^[b] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, ¹⁰^(R)when he comes on ^(S)that day ^(T)to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our ^(U)testimony to you ^(V)was believed. ¹¹To this end we ^(W)always pray for you, that our God may ^(X)make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every ^(Y)work of faith by his power, ¹²so that the name of our Lord Jesus ^(Z)may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus and Zacchaeus

19 ^(A)He entered Jericho and was passing through. ²And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. ³And ^(B)he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. ⁴So he ran on ahead and climbed up into ^(C)a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. ⁵And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for ^(D)I must stay at your house today.” ⁶So he hurried and came down and ^(E)received him joyfully. ⁷And when they saw it, they all ^(F)grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” ⁸And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods ^(G)I give to the poor. And if I have ^(H)defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it ^(I)fourfold.” ⁹And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since ^(J)he also is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰For ^(K)the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
