Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
11 For thy [a]Name’s sake, O Lord, be merciful unto mine iniquity, for it is great.
12 What [b]man is he that feareth the Lord? him will he teach the way that he shall [c]choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at [d]ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The [e]secret of the Lord is revealed to them that fear him: and his Covenant to give them understanding.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord: for he will bring my feet out of the net.
16 Turn thy face unto me, and have mercy upon me: for I am desolate and poor.
17 The sorrows of mine heart [f]are enlarged: draw me out of my troubles.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
19 Behold mine [g]enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Keep my soul and deliver me: let me not be confounded: for I trust in thee.
13 I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it is great unto me.
14 A little city and few men in it, and a great King came against it, and compassed it about, and built forts against it.
15 And there was found therein a poor and wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, but none remembered this poor man.
16 Then said I, Better is wisdom than strength: yet the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.
17 The words of the wise are more heard in quietness, than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
18 Better is wisdom than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
31 ¶ [a]And when the Son of man cometh in his glory and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory,
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations, and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats.
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the king say to them on his right hand, Come ye [b]blessed of my father: take the inheritance of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 (A)For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I thirsted, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in unto you.
36 I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was (B)sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in unto us? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the king shall answer, and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
41 Then shall he say to them on the left hand, (C)Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I thirsted, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in unto you: I was naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, and say, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 (D)And these shall go into everlasting pain, and the righteous into life eternal.
