Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
37 Do not fret because of wicked men, nor be envious of evildoers.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like grass and shall wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good. Dwell in the land, and you shall assuredly be fed.
4 And delight yourself in the LORD; and He shall give you your heart’s desire.
5 Commit your way to the LORD, and trust in Him; and He shall make it so.
6 And He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noon day.
7 Wait patiently upon the LORD, and hope in Him. Do not fret over him who prospers in his way, nor over the man who executes wicked schemes.
8 Cease from anger and abandon wrath. Do not fret. It leads only to evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off; and those who wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
7 And in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah (king of Judah), Rezin, the king of Aram, came up—and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel—to Jerusalem, to fight against it. But he could not overcome it.
2 And it was told to the House of David, saying, “Aram has joined with Ephraim.” Therefore, his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved by the wind.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go forth now to meet Ahaz (you and Shear-Jashub, your son), at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the path of the fuller’s field,
4 “and say to him, ‘Take heed, and be still. Do not fear or be fainthearted because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the furious wrath of Rezin and of Aram and of Remaliah’s son.’
5 “Because Aram has taken wicked counsel against you, Ephraim and Remaliah’s son, saying,
6 ‘Let us go up against Judah. And let us wake them up and make a breach therein for ourselves and set a king in the midst thereof: the son of Tabel.’”
7 Thus says the LORD God: “It shall not stand, nor shall it be.
8 “For the head of Aram is Damascus. And the head of Damascus is Rezin. And within sixty-five years, Ephraim shall be destroyed from being a people.
9 “And the head of Ephraim is Samaria. And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you do not believe, surely you shall not be established.”
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.
