Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
7 Because (A)for Your sake I have borne reproach;
(B)Dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become (C)estranged [a]from my brothers
And a foreigner to my mother’s sons.
9 For (D)zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And (E)the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
10 When I wept (F)in my soul with fasting,
It became my reproach.
11 When I made (A)sackcloth my clothing,
I became (B)a byword to them.
12 Those who (C)dwell at the gate moan about me,
And I am (D)the drunkards’ songs.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Yahweh, (E)at an acceptable time;
O God, in the (F)abundance of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with the truth of Your salvation.
14 Deliver me from the (G)mire and do not let me sink;
May I be (H)delivered from [a]my foes and from the [b](I)deep waters.
15 May the [c](J)flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the (K)pit shut its mouth on me.
12 But (A)they will say, ‘It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the (B)stubbornness of his evil heart.’
13 “Therefore thus says Yahweh,
‘(C)Ask now among the nations,
Who ever heard the like of [a]this?
The (D)virgin of Israel
Has done a most (E)appalling thing.
14 Does the snow of Lebanon forsake the rock of the open country?
Or is the cold flowing water from a strange land ever uprooted?
15 For (F)My people have forgotten Me;
(G)They burn incense [b]to worthless gods,
And they [c]have stumbled [d]from their ways,
[e]From the (H)ancient paths,
To walk in bypaths,
Not on a (I)highway,
16 To make their land an (J)object of horror,
An object of perpetual (K)hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be [f]horrified
And (L)shake his head.
17 Like an (M)east wind I will (N)scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will [g]show them (O)My back and not My face
(P)In the day of their disaster.’”
Jesus, the Author of Salvation
5 For He did not subject to angels [a](A)the world to come, concerning which we are speaking. 6 But one has testified (B)somewhere, saying,
“(C)What is man, that You remember him?
Or the son of man, that You are concerned about him?
7 (D)You have made [b]him for a little while lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
[c]And have appointed him over the works of Your hands;
8 (E)You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now (F)we do not yet see all things subjected to him. 9 But we do see Him who was (G)made [d]for a little while lower than the angels—Jesus, (H)because of the suffering of death (I)crowned with glory and honor, so that (J)by the grace of God He might (K)taste death (L)for everyone.
