Readings for Lent and Easter
21 Have pity upon me: have [a]pity upon me, (O ye my friends) for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why do ye persecute me, as [b]God? and are not satisfied with my [c]flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were written even in a book,
24 And graven with [d]an iron pen in lead, or in stone forever!
25 For I am sure that my [e]Redeemer liveth, and he shall stand the last on the earth.
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet shall I see God [f]in my flesh.
27 Whom I myself shall see, and mine eyes shall behold, and none other for me, though my reins are consumed within me.
28 But ye said, Why is he persecuted? And there was a [g]deep matter in me.
29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for the sword will be [h]avenged of wickedness, that ye may know that there is a judgment.
