Luke 23:32-37

English Standard Version

³²^(A)Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. ³³^(B)And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, ^(C)one on his right and one on his left. ³⁴And Jesus said, “Father, ^(D)forgive them, ^(E)for they know not what they do.”^[a] And they cast lots ^(F)to divide his garments. ³⁵And ^(G)the people stood by, watching, ^(H)but ^(I)the rulers ^(J)scoffed at him, saying, ^(K)“He saved others; ^(L)let him save himself, ^(M)if he is ^(N)the Christ of God, ^(O)his Chosen One!” ³⁶The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and ^(P)offering him sour wine ³⁷and saying, ^(Q)“If you are ^(R)the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

Proverbs 26:17-28

English Standard Version

¹⁷Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
    is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
¹⁸Like a madman who throws ^(A)firebrands, arrows, and death
¹⁹is the man who deceives his neighbor
    and says, “I am only joking!”
²⁰For lack of wood the fire goes out,
    and where there is no ^(B)whisperer, ^(C)quarreling ceases.
²¹As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
    so is ^(D)a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
²²^(E)The words of ^(F)a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
    they go down into the inner parts of the body.
²³^(G)Like the ^(H)glaze^[a] covering an earthen vessel
    are fervent lips with an evil heart.
²⁴Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
    and harbors deceit in his heart;
²⁵^(I)when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
    for there are ^(J)seven abominations in his heart;
²⁶though his hatred be covered with deception,
    his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
²⁷^(K)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
    and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
²⁸A lying tongue hates its victims,
    and a flattering mouth works ruin.
