The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in (A)purple and fine linen and (B)who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate (C)was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with (D)what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by (E)the angels (F)to Abraham's side.[a] The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in (G)Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and (H)saw Abraham far off and Lazarus (I)at his side. 24 And he called out, (J)‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and (K)cool my tongue, for (L)I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that (M)you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.

Luke 12:16-21
English Standard Version
16 And he told them a parable, saying, (A)“The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, (B)‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my (C)barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up (D)for many years; relax, (E)eat, drink, be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, (F)‘Fool! (G)This night (H)your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, (I)whose will they be?’ 21 So is the one (J)who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

Jeremiah 48:11-12
English Standard Version
11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth
and has (A)settled on his dregs;
he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
nor has he gone into exile;
so his taste remains in him,
and his scent is not changed.
12 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I shall send to him pourers who will pour him, and empty his vessels and break his[a] jars in pieces.

Deuteronomy 32:15-44
English Standard Version
15 “But (A)Jeshurun grew fat, and (B)kicked;
(C)you grew fat, stout, and sleek;
(D)then he forsook God (E)who made him
and scoffed at (F)the Rock of his salvation.
16 (G)They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 (H)They sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to (I)new gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of (J)the Rock that bore[a] you,
and you (K)forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 (L)“The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of (M)his sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, (N)‘I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 (O)They have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger (P)with their idols.
So (Q)I will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with (R)a foolish nation.
22 For (S)a fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to (T)the depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
(U)I will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send (V)the teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of (W)things that crawl in the dust.
25 (X)Outdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 (Y)I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
(Z)I will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, (AA)“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is (AB)no understanding in them.
29 (AC)If they were wise, they would understand this;
they would (AD)discern their latter end!
30 How could (AE)one have chased a thousand,
and two have put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock (AF)had sold them,
and the Lord had given them up?
31 For (AG)their rock is not as our Rock;
(AH)our enemies are by themselves.
32 For their vine (AI)comes from the vine of Sodom
and from the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of (AJ)poison;
their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is the poison of (AK)serpents
and the cruel venom of asps.
34 “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
(AL)sealed up in my treasuries?
35 (AM)Vengeance is mine, and recompense,[b]
(AN)for the time when their foot shall slip;
for (AO)the day of their calamity is at hand,
and their doom comes swiftly.’
36 For (AP)the Lord will vindicate[c] his people
(AQ)and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
and there is none remaining, (AR)bond or free.
37 Then he will say, (AS)‘Where are their gods,
(AT)the rock in which they took refuge,
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them be your protection!
39 “‘See now that (AU)I, even I, am he,
and there is no god beside me;
(AV)I kill and I make alive;
(AW)I wound and I heal;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For (AX)I lift up my hand to heaven
and swear, As I live forever,
41 if I (AY)sharpen my flashing sword[d]
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and (AZ)my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the (BA)long-haired heads of the enemy.’
43 (BB)“Rejoice with him, O heavens;[e]
bow down to him, all gods,[f]
for he (BC)avenges the blood of his children[g]
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him[h]
and cleanses[i] his people's land.”[j]
44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and (BD)Joshua[k] the son of Nun.
