Psalm 119:81-88

CAPH

81 My soul [a]fainted for thy salvation: yet I wait for thy word.

82 Mine eyes fail for thy promise, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

83 For I am like a [b]bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

84 How many are the [c]days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85 The proud have [d]dug pits for me, which is not after thy Law.

86 All thy commandments are true: they persecute me falsely: [e]help me.

87 They had almost consumed [f]me upon the earth: but I forsook not thy precepts.

88 Quicken me according to thy loving kindness: so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

Jeremiah 16:14-21

14 (A)Behold therefore saith the Lord, the days come that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,

15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel [a]from the land of the North, and from all the lands where he had scattered them, and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

16 Behold, saith the Lord, I will send out many [b]fishers, and they shall fish them, and after will I send out many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the caves of the rocks.

17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have defiled my land, and have filled mine inheritance with their filthy [c]carrions and their abominations.

19 O Lord, thou art my [d]fortress, and my strength and my refuge in the day of affliction: the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the world, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited [e]lies, and vanity, wherein there was no profit.

20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

21 Behold, therefore I will this once [f]teach them: I will show them mine hand and my power, and they shall know that my Name is the Lord.

John 7:1-9

2 Christ, after his cousins were gone up to the feast of Tabernacles, 10 goeth thither privily. 12 The people’s sundry opinions of him. 14 He teacheth in the Temple. 32 The Priests command to take him. 41 Strife among the multitude about him, 47 and between the Pharisees and the officers that were sent to take him, 50 and Nicodemus.

After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, and would not walk in Judea: for the Jews sought to kill him.

Now the Jews’ (A)[a]feast of the Tabernacles was at hand.

[b]His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples may see thy works that thou doest.

For there is no man that doeth anything secretly, and he himself seeketh to be famous. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.

For as yet his [c]brethren believed not in him.

[d]Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.

The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Go ye up unto this feast: I will not go up yet unto this feast: (B)for my time is not yet fulfilled.

¶ These things he said unto them, and abode still in Galilee.
