Psalm 119:81-88

KAPF

81 My soul faints for your salvation.
    I hope in your word.
82 My eyes fail for your word.
    I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke.
    I don’t forget your statutes.
84 How many are the days of your servant?
    When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85 The proud have dug pits for me,
    contrary to your law.
86 All of your commandments are faithful.
    They persecute me wrongfully.
    Help me!
87 They had almost wiped me from the earth,
    but I didn’t forsake your precepts.
88 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness,
    so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.

Jeremiah 16:14-21

14 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that it will no more be said, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’ 15 but, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.

16 “Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says Yahweh, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. 17 For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes. 18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”

19 Yahweh, my strength, my stronghold,
    and my refuge in the day of affliction,
the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth,
    and will say,
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
    vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 Should a man make to himself gods
    which yet are no gods?”

21 “Therefore behold, I will cause them to know,
    this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might.
    Then they will know that my name is Yahweh.”

John 7:1-9

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.” For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil. You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
