GIMEL
17 Be beneficial to Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see the wonders of Your Law.
19 I am a stranger upon Earth. Do not hide Your Commandments from me.
20 My heart breaks for the desire of Your Judgments always.
21 You have rebuked the proud. Cursed are those who stray from Your Commandments.
22 Remove from me shame and contempt, for I have kept Your Testimonies.
23 Princes also sat and spoke against me, but Your servant meditated on Your Statutes.
24 Also Your Testimonies are my delight and my counselors.
33 Moreover, the Word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time (while he was still shut up in the court of prison) saying,
2 “Thus says the LORD its maker, the LORD Who formed it and established it. The LORD is His Name:
3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.’
4 “For thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are destroyed by the siege mounts and by the sword:
5 ‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill themselves with the dead bodies of men whom I have slain in My anger and in My wrath. For I have hidden My Face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6 ‘Behold, I will give it health and healing. For I will cure them and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 ‘And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return and will build them as at first.
8 ‘And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me. Yea, I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me, and by which they have rebelled against Me.
9 ‘And it shall be to Me a Name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the Earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them. And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the wealth that I show to this city.’
10 “Thus says the LORD: ‘Again there shall be heard in this place which you say shall be desolate, without man and without beast in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem (that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast)
11 ‘the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who shall say, “Praise the LORD of Hosts because the LORD is good! For His mercy endures forever!” and of those who offer the sacrifice of praise in the House of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at first,’ says the LORD.
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
30 And behold, two blind men, sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried, saying, “O Lord, the Son of David! Have mercy on us!”
31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace. But they cried all the more, saying, “O Lord! The Son of David! Have mercy on us!”
32 Then Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, “What would you have Me do to you?
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened!”
34 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight. And they followed Him.
