Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

111 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

² Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

³ His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

⁴ He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

⁵ He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

⁶ He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

⁷ The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

⁸ Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

⁹ He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

¹⁰ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.

³³ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴ When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a leprous plague in a house of the land of your possession,

³⁵ then he whose house it is shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me like a plague in the house;

³⁶ and the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to see the house.

³⁷ And when he looketh on the plague, and behold, the plague is in the walls of the house, greenish or reddish hollows, and their look is deeper than the surface of the wall,

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the entrance of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them out of the city, in an unclean place.

⁴¹ And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they have scraped off, out of the city in an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and they shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the house, it is a corroding leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And they shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and shall carry them forth out of the city to an unclean place.

⁴⁶ And he that goeth into the house as long as it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁷ And he that sleepeth in the house shall wash his garments, and he that eateth in the house shall wash his garments.

⁴⁸ But if the priest shall come in and look, and behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house hath been plastered, the priest shall pronounce the house clean; for the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take, to purge the house from the defilement, two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

⁵⁰ and he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water;

⁵¹ and he shall take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times;

⁵² and he shall purge the house from the defilement with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

⁵³ and he shall let the living bird loose out of the city into the open field; and he shall make atonement for the house, and it is clean.

¹³ Have an outline of sound words, which [words] thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which [are] in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted.

¹⁵ Thou knowest this, that all who [are] in Asia, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes, have turned away from me.

¹⁶ The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he has often refreshed me, and has not been ashamed of my chain;

¹⁷ but being in Rome sought me out very diligently, and found [me]—

¹⁸ the Lord grant to him to find mercy from [the] Lord in that day—and how much service he rendered in Ephesus *thou* knowest best.
