Isaiah 57:15-59:21
New King James Version
15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, (A)whose name is Holy:
(B)“I dwell in the high and holy place,
(C)With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
(D)To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 (E)For I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls (F)which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of (G)his covetousness
I was angry and struck him;
(H)I hid and was angry,
(I)And he went on [a]backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, and (J)will heal him;
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to (K)his mourners.
19 “I create (L)the fruit of the lips:
Peace, peace (M)to him who is far off and to him who is near,”
Says the Lord,
“And I will heal him.”
20 (N)But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
When it cannot rest,
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 “There(O) is no peace,”
Says my God, “for the wicked.”
Fasting that Pleases God
58 “Cry aloud, [b]spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
(P)Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek Me daily,
And delight to know My ways,
As a nation that did righteousness,
And did not forsake the ordinance of their God.
They ask of Me the ordinances of justice;
They take delight in approaching God.
3 ‘Why(Q) have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and You have not seen?
Why have we (R)afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?’
“In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure,
And [c]exploit all your laborers.
4 (S)Indeed you fast for strife and debate,
And to strike with the fist of wickedness.
You will not fast as you do this day,
To make your voice heard on high.
5 Is (T)it a fast that I have chosen,
(U)A day for a man to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush,
And (V)to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Would you call this a fast,
And an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To (W)loose the bonds of wickedness,
(X)To undo the [d]heavy burdens,
(Y)To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not (Z)to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are [e]cast out;
(AA)When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from (AB)your own flesh?
8 (AC)Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
(AD)The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The [f]pointing of the finger, and (AE)speaking wickedness,
10 If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your [g]darkness shall be as the noonday.
11 The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
12 Those from among you
(AF)Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of [h]Streets to Dwell In.
13 “If (AG)you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
14 (AH)Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to (AI)ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
(AJ)The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Separated from God
59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not (AK)shortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will (AL)not hear.
3 For (AM)your hands are defiled with [i]blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.
4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in (AN)empty words and speak lies;
(AO)They conceive [j]evil and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 (AP)Their webs will not become garments,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
7 (AQ)Their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed (AR)innocent blood;
(AS)Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and (AT)destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of (AU)peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
(AV)They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
Sin Confessed
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
(AW)We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
10 (AX)We grope for the wall like the blind,
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.
11 We all growl like bears,
And (AY)moan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our (AZ)transgressions are multiplied before You,
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord,
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering (BA)from the heart words of falsehood.
14 Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
15 So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a (BB)prey.
The Redeemer of Zion
Then the Lord saw it, and [k]it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
16 (BC)He saw that there was no man,
And (BD)wondered that there was no intercessor;
(BE)Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
17 (BF)For He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
And was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 (BG)According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay,
Fury to His adversaries,
Recompense to His enemies;
The coastlands He will fully repay.
19 (BH)So shall they fear
The name of the Lord from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in (BI)like a flood,
The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
20 “The(BJ) Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”
Says the Lord.
21 “As(BK) for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.”

New International Version
Isaiah 57:15-59:21
New International Version
15 For this is what the high and exalted(A) One says—
he who lives forever,(B) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high(C) and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite(D) and lowly in spirit,(E)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.(F)
16 I will not accuse(G) them forever,
nor will I always be angry,(H)
for then they would faint away because of me—
the very people(I) I have created.
17 I was enraged by their sinful greed;(J)
I punished them, and hid(K) my face in anger,
yet they kept on in their willful ways.(L)
18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal(M) them;
I will guide(N) them and restore comfort(O) to Israel’s mourners,
19 creating praise on their lips.(P)
Peace, peace,(Q) to those far and near,”(R)
says the Lord. “And I will heal them.”
20 But the wicked(S) are like the tossing sea,(T)
which cannot rest,
whose waves cast up mire(U) and mud.
21 “There is no peace,”(V) says my God, “for the wicked.”(W)
True Fasting
58 “Shout it aloud,(X) do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.(Y)
Declare to my people their rebellion(Z)
and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.(AA)
2 For day after day they seek(AB) me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken(AC) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near(AD) them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’(AE) they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled(AF) ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’(AG)
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please(AH)
and exploit all your workers.
4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,(AI)
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard(AJ) on high.
5 Is this the kind of fast(AK) I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble(AL) themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed(AM)
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?(AN)
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting(AO) I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice(AP)
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed(AQ) free
and break every yoke?(AR)
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry(AS)
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter(AT)—
when you see the naked, to clothe(AU) them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?(AV)
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,(AW)
and your healing(AX) will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a](AY) will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.(AZ)
9 Then you will call,(BA) and the Lord will answer;(BB)
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger(BC) and malicious talk,(BD)
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,(BE)
then your light(BF) will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.(BG)
11 The Lord will guide(BH) you always;
he will satisfy your needs(BI) in a sun-scorched land(BJ)
and will strengthen(BK) your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,(BL)
like a spring(BM) whose waters never fail.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins(BN)
and will raise up the age-old foundations;(BO)
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,(BP)
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath(BQ)
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight(BR)
and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,(BS)
14 then you will find your joy(BT) in the Lord,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights(BU) of the land
and to feast on the inheritance(BV) of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(BW)
Sin, Confession and Redemption
59 Surely the arm(BX) of the Lord is not too short(BY) to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear.(BZ)
2 But your iniquities have separated(CA)
you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.(CB)
3 For your hands are stained with blood,(CC)
your fingers with guilt.(CD)
Your lips have spoken falsely,(CE)
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4 No one calls for justice;(CF)
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(CG) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(CH)
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(CI)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers(CJ)
and spin a spider’s web.(CK)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(CL)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence(CM) are in their hands.
7 Their feet rush into sin;
they are swift to shed innocent blood.(CN)
They pursue evil schemes;(CO)
acts of violence mark their ways.(CP)
8 The way of peace they do not know;(CQ)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(CR)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(CS)
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(CT)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(CU) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(CV) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(CW)
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.(CX)
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
12 For our offenses(CY) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(CZ) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(DA)
13 rebellion(DB) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(DC) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(DD)
uttering lies(DE) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(DF) is driven back,
and righteousness(DG) stands at a distance;
truth(DH) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(DI) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(DJ)
16 He saw that there was no one,(DK)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(DL)
so his own arm achieved salvation(DM) for him,
and his own righteousness(DN) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(DO)
and the helmet(DP) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(DQ) of vengeance(DR)
and wrapped himself in zeal(DS) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(DT)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(DU) their due.
19 From the west,(DV) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,(DW) they will revere his glory.(DX)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath(DY) of the Lord drives along.[b]
20 “The Redeemer(DZ) will come to Zion,(EA)
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”(EB)
declares the Lord.
21 “As for me, this is my covenant(EC) with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit,(ED) who is on you, will not depart from you,(EE) and my words that I have put in your mouth(EF) will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.

Philippians 1:1-26
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the [a]bishops and (A)deacons:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thankfulness and Prayer
3 (B)I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in (C)every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 (D)for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun (E)a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; 7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. 8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness (F)which are by Jesus Christ, (G)to the glory and praise of God.
Christ Is Preached
12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident (H)to the whole [b]palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 [c]The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
To Live Is Christ
19 For I know that (I)this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but (J)with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life (K)or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I [d]cannot tell. 23 [e]For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a (L)desire to depart and be with Christ, which is (M)far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, 26 that (N)your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.

To all God’s holy people(B) in Christ Jesus at Philippi,(C) together with the overseers(D) and deacons[a]:(E)
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(F)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.(G) 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray(H) with joy 5 because of your partnership(I) in the gospel from the first day(J) until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion(K) until the day of Christ Jesus.(L)
7 It is right(M) for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart(N) and, whether I am in chains(O) or defending(P) and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify(Q) how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love(R) may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,(S) 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,(T) 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness(U) that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
Paul’s Chains Advance the Gospel
12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,[b] that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[c] and to everyone else that I am in chains(V) for Christ. 14 And because of my chains,(W) most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.(X)
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.(Y) 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,(Z) not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.(AA) 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers(AB) and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ(AC) what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[d](AD) 20 I eagerly expect(AE) and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage(AF) so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body,(AG) whether by life or by death.(AH) 21 For to me, to live is Christ(AI) and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart(AJ) and be with Christ,(AK) which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

God the Rock of Salvation
71 In (A)You, O Lord, I put my trust;
Let me never be put to shame.
2 (B)Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
(C)Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
3 (D)Be my [a]strong refuge,
To which I may resort continually;
You have given the (E)commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.
4 (F)Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For You are (G)my hope, O Lord God;
You are my trust from my youth.
6 (H)By You I have been [b]upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be continually of You.
7 (I)I have become as a wonder to many,
But You are my strong refuge.
8 Let (J)my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
And those who lie in wait for my life (K)take counsel together,
11 Saying, “God has forsaken him;
Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.”
12 (L)O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, (M)make haste to help me!
13 Let them be [c]confounded and consumed
Who are adversaries of my life;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor
Who seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.
15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation all the day,
For I do not know their limits.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
17 O God, You have taught me from my (N)youth;
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
18 Now also (O)when I am old and grayheaded,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.
19 Also (P)Your righteousness, O God, is [d]very high,
You who have done great things;
(Q)O God, who is like You?
20 (R)You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
(S)Shall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 You shall increase my greatness,
And comfort me on every side.
22 Also (T)with the lute I will praise You—
And Your faithfulness, O my God!
To You I will sing with the harp,
O (U)Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
And (V)my soul, which You have redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;
For they are confounded,
For they are brought to shame
Who seek my hurt.

16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,(AH) Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught(AI) me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.(AJ)
18 Even when I am old and gray,(AK)
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power(AL) to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.(AM)
19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,(AN)
you who have done great things.(AO)
Who is like you, God?(AP)
20 Though you have made me see troubles,(AQ)
many and bitter,
you will restore(AR) my life again;
from the depths of the earth(AS)
you will again bring me up.
21 You will increase my honor(AT)
and comfort(AU) me once more.
22 I will praise you with the harp(AV)
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,(AW)
Holy One of Israel.(AX)
23 My lips will shout for joy(AY)
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered.(AZ)
24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts
all day long,(BA)
for those who wanted to harm me(BB)
have been put to shame and confusion.(BC)
