The Restoration of Israel
8 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“In a (B)time of favor I have answered you;
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you (C)and give you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
(D)to apportion the desolate heritages,
Isaiah 24:1-12
English Standard Version
Judgment on the Whole Earth
24 Behold, (A)the Lord will empty the earth[a] and make it desolate,
and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
2 (B)And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
(C)as with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
(D)as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 (E)The earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
(F)for the Lord has spoken this word.
4 (G)The earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.
5 The earth lies (H)defiled
under its inhabitants;
for (I)they have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore (J)a curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants (K)suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
7 (L)The wine mourns,
the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 (M)The mirth of the tambourines is stilled,
the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
the mirth of the lyre is stilled.
9 No more do they drink wine (N)with singing;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 (O)The wasted city is broken down;
(P)every house is shut up so that none can enter.
11 (Q)There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
(R)all joy has grown dark;
the gladness of the earth is banished.
12 Desolation is left in the city;
the gates are battered into ruins.

Psalm 78:60-72
English Standard Version
60 He (A)forsook his dwelling at (B)Shiloh,
the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
61 and delivered his (C)power to captivity,
his (D)glory to the hand of the foe.
62 He (E)gave his people over to the sword
and (F)vented his wrath on his heritage.
63 (G)Fire devoured their young men,
and their young women had no (H)marriage song.
64 Their (I)priests fell by the sword,
and their (J)widows made no lamentation.
65 Then the Lord (K)awoke as from sleep,
like a strong man shouting because of wine.
66 And he (L)put his adversaries to rout;
he put them to everlasting shame.
67 He rejected the tent of (M)Joseph;
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion, which he (N)loves.
69 He (O)built his sanctuary like the high heavens,
like the earth, which he has founded forever.
70 He (P)chose David his servant
and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 from (Q)following the nursing ewes he brought him
to (R)shepherd Jacob his people,
Israel his (S)inheritance.
72 With (T)upright heart he shepherded them
and (U)guided them with his skillful hand.
Psalm 60:1-3
English Standard Version
He Will Tread Down Our Foes
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Shushan Eduth. A (B)Miktam[a] of David; (C)for instruction; when he (D)strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
60 O God, (E)you have rejected us, (F)broken our defenses;
you have been angry; (G)oh, restore us.
2 You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
(H)repair its breaches, for it totters.
3 (I)You have made your people see hard things;
(J)you have given us (K)wine to drink that made us stagger.

The Death of Saul
31 (A)Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain (B)on Mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down (C)Jonathan and (D)Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 3 (E)The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was badly wounded by the archers. 4 (F)Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these (G)uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and mistreat me.” But his armor-bearer would not, (H)for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword (I)and fell upon it. 5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. 6 Thus Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, on the same day together. 7 And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those beyond the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. And the Philistines came and lived in them.
