Psalm 36

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David.

36 The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.

He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.

Genesis 47:13-26

13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very grievous; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were exhausted through the famine.

14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

15 And when money came to an end in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread! for why should we die before thee? for [our] money is all gone.

16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if [your] money be all gone.

17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread for horses, and for flocks of sheep, and for herds of cattle, and for asses; and he fed them with bread for all their cattle that year.

18 And that year ended; and they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide [it] from my lord that since [our] money is come to an end, and the herds of cattle are in the possession of my lord, nothing is left before my lord but our bodies and our land.

19 Why should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bondmen to Pharaoh; and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.

20 And Joseph bought all the soil of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them; and the land became Pharaoh's.

21 And as for the people, he removed them into the cities, from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end of it.

22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had an assigned portion from Pharaoh, and ate their assigned portion which Pharaoh had given them; so they did not sell their land.

23 And Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow the land.

24 And it shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall give the fifth to Pharaoh, and the four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.

25 And they said, Thou hast saved us alive. Let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's bondmen.

26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, [that] the fifth should be for Pharaoh, except the land of the priests: theirs alone did not become Pharaoh's.

Mark 8:14-21

14 And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.

15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.

16 And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.

17 And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened?

18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.

20 And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

21 And he said to them, How do ye not yet understand?
