Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
7 For Your sake I have suffered reproach; shame has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons.
9 For the zeal of Your House has eaten me, and the rebukes of those who rebuked You have fallen upon me.
10 I wept and my soul fasted; but that was to my reproach.
11 I put on sackcloth also; and I became a proverb to them.
12 Those who sit in the gate speak of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.
13 But LORD, I make my prayer to You in an acceptable time, in the multitude of Your mercy. O God, hear me in the truth of Your salvation.
14 Deliver me out of the mire, so that I do not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Do not let the flood water drown me or let the deep swallow me up; and do not let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good! Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in trouble. Hear me quickly.
18 Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Deliver me because of my enemies.
20 When Pashhur, the son of Immer the Priest, who was appointed Governor in the House of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things,
2 then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the Prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the House of the LORD.
3 And in the morning, Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib.
4 For thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will make you to be a terror to yourself, and to all your friends. And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies. And your eyes shall behold it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babel. And he shall carry them captive into Babel and shall kill them with the sword.
5 ‘Moreover, I will deliver all the substance of this city, and all its labors, and all its precious things. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and take them away and carry them to Babel.
6 ‘And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. And you shall come to Babel. And there you shall die and shall be buried there, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.’”
53 And as He said these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to plead with Him angrily, and to provoke Him to speak of many things,
54 lying in wait for Him, seeking to catch something from His mouth by which they might accuse Him.
12 In the meantime, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trampled one another. And He began to say to His disciples first, “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 “For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed or hidden that shall not be known.
3 “Therefore, whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light. And that which you have spoken in the ear, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
