Jeremiah 5:21-22

New International Version

²¹Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,^(A)
    who have eyes^(B) but do not see,
    who have ears but do not hear:^(C)
²²Should you not fear^(D) me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble^(E) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,^(F)
    an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
    they may roar,^(G) but they cannot cross it.

John 12:23-33

New International Version

²³Jesus replied, “The hour^(A) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.^(B) ²⁴Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,^(C) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. ²⁵Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it^(D) for eternal life.^(E) ²⁶Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.^(F) My Father will honor the one who serves me.

²⁷“Now my soul is troubled,^(G) and what shall I say? ‘Father,^(H) save me from this hour’?^(I) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. ²⁸Father, glorify your name!”

Then a voice came from heaven,^(J) “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” ²⁹The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

³⁰Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit,^(K) not mine. ³¹Now is the time for judgment on this world;^(L) now the prince of this world^(M) will be driven out. ³²And I, when I am lifted up^[a] from the earth,^(N) will draw all people to myself.”^(O) ³³He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.^(P)
