Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
(A)Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
    (B)your judgments are like the great deep;
    man and beast you (C)save, O Lord.

(D)How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
    The children of mankind take refuge (E)in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on (F)the abundance of your house,
    and you give them drink from (G)the river of (H)your delights.
For with you is (I)the fountain of life;
    (J)in your light do we see light.

10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who (K)know you,
    and your righteousness to (L)the upright of heart!

“If you return, O Israel,
declares the Lord,
    (A)to me you should return.
If you remove your detestable things from my presence,
    (B)and do not waver,
(C)and if you swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’
    in truth, in justice, and in righteousness,
then (D)nations shall bless themselves in him,
    (E)and in him shall they glory.”

For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:

(F)“Break up your fallow ground,
    and (G)sow not among thorns.
(H)Circumcise yourselves to the Lord;
    remove the foreskin of your hearts,
    O men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem;
(I)lest my wrath go forth like fire,
    and burn with none to quench it,
    (J)because of the evil of your deeds.”

Jesus and Beelzebul

14 (A)Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons (B)by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” 16 while others, (C)to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 (D)But he, (E)knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, (F)by whom do (G)your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by (H)the finger of God that I cast out demons, then (I)the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 (J)but when one stronger than he attacks him and (K)overcomes him, he takes away his (L)armor in which he trusted and (M)divides his spoil. 23 (N)Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
