Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
12 Teach us to number our days, so that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13 Return (O LORD, how long?) and be pacified toward Your servants.
14 Fill us with Your mercy in the morning. So shall we rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Comfort us according to the days that You have afflicted us, according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work be seen toward Your servants, and Your Glory upon their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us and direct the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
5 Then Moses called all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, O Israel, the Ordinances and the Laws which I propose to you this day, so that you may learn them and be careful to observe them.
2 “The LORD our God made a Covenant with us in Horeb.
3 “The LORD did not only make this Covenant with our fathers, but with us. That is, all of us here alive this day.
4 “The LORD talked with you face to face on the Mount, out of the midst of the fire.
5 “At that time, I stood between the LORD and you, to declare to you the Word of the LORD. For you were afraid at the sight of the fire and did not go up on the Mount. And He said,
6 ‘I am the LORD your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7 ‘You shall have no other gods before My Face.
8 ‘You shall make no graven image for yourself, any likeness that is in Heaven above, which is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the Earth.
9 ‘You shall neither bow yourself to them, nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, even to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,
10 ‘and showing mercy to thousands of those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
11 ‘You shall not take the Name of the LORD your God in vain. For the LORD will not hold him guiltless who lifts up His Name in a frivolous way.
12 ‘Keep the Sabbath day, to sanctify it, as the LORD your God has Commanded you.
13 ‘Six days you shall labor and shall do all your work.
14 ‘But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. You shall not do any work—you or your son or your daughter or your manservant or your maid or your ox or your donkey or any of your cattle or the stranger that is within your gates—so that your manservant and your maid may rest as well as you.
15 ‘For, remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt. And the LORD your God brought you out from there by a mighty Hand and an outstretched Arm. Therefore, the LORD your God Commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
16 ‘Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has Commanded you, so that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well with you upon the land which the LORD your God gives you.
17 ‘You shall not kill.
18 ‘Nor shall you commit adultery.
19 ‘Nor shall you steal.
20 ‘Nor shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.
21 ‘Nor shall you covet your neighbor’s wife. Nor shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his manservant, his maid, his ox, his donkey or anything that your neighbor has.’
7 Therefore, as the Holy Ghost says, “Today, if you shall hear His voice,
8 “do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion on the day of temptation in the wilderness,
9 “where your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works for forty years.
10 “Therefore, I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, nor have they known My ways.’
11 “Therefore, I swear in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter into My rest.’”
12 Pay attention, brothers, lest at any time there be in any of you an evil and unfaithful heart, departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today”, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we have been made partakers of Christ, if we keep sure to the end that beginning which upholds us,
15 so long as it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
16 For some, when they heard, provoked Him to anger (though not all who came out of Egypt with Moses).
17 But with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was He not displeased with those who sinned; whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to those who disobeyed?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
