Psalm 85:7-13
New International Version
8 I will listen to what God the Lord says;
he promises peace(C) to his people, his faithful servants—
but let them not turn to folly.(D)
9 Surely his salvation(E) is near those who fear him,
that his glory(F) may dwell in our land.
10 Love and faithfulness(G) meet together;
righteousness(H) and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
and righteousness(I) looks down from heaven.
12 The Lord will indeed give what is good,(J)
and our land will yield(K) its harvest.
13 Righteousness goes before him
and prepares the way for his steps.
Amos 9:11-15
New International Version
Israel’s Restoration
11 “In that day
“I will restore David’s(A) fallen shelter(B)—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins(C)—
and will rebuild it as it used to be,(D)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(E)
and all the nations that bear my name,[a](F)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(G)
13 “The days are coming,”(H) declares the Lord,
“when the reaper(I) will be overtaken by the plowman(J)
and the planter by the one treading(K) grapes.
New wine(L) will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,(M)
14 and I will bring(N) my people Israel back from exile.[b](O)
“They will rebuild the ruined cities(P) and live in them.
They will plant vineyards(Q) and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(R)
15 I will plant(S) Israel in their own land,(T)
never again to be uprooted(U)
from the land I have given them,”(V)
says the Lord your God.(W)
Matthew 9:14-17
New International Version
Jesus Questioned About Fasting(A)
14 Then John’s(B) disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often,(C) but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?(D) The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.(E)
16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
