Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
52 Why do you boast of your wickedness, O man of power? The lovingkindness of God endures daily.
2 Your tongue imagines mischief, like a sharp razor that cuts deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good, lies more than to speak the truth. Selah.
4 You love all words that may destroy. O deceitful tongue!
5 So shall God destroy you forever. He shall take you and pluck you out of your tabernacle, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 Also, the righteous shall see it, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
7 “Behold the man who did not take God for His strength but trusted in the multitude of his riches and put his strength in his malice.”
8 But I shall be like a green olive tree in the House of God. I trusted in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I will always praise You because You have done this. And I will hope in Your Name because it is good before Your saints. To him who excels on Mahalath: A Psalm of David to give instruction
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel on Mount Ebal—
31 as Moses, the servant of the LORD had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses—an Altar of whole stone, over which no man had lifted an iron. And they offered Burnt Offerings unto the LORD on it and sacrificed Peace Offerings.
32 Also, he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the Law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
33 And all Israel (and their elders and officers and their judges) stood on this side of the Ark and on that side, before the Priests of the Levites (who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD), the stranger as well as he who is born in the country, half of them opposite Mount Gerizim and half of them opposite Mount Ebal, as Moses, the servant of the LORD, had commanded before, so that they should bless the children of Israel.
34 Then, afterward, he read all the Words of the Law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.
35 There was not a Word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the Congregation of Israel, the women as well as the children, and the stranger who was conversant among them.
2 Therefore, you are without excuse, O man. Whoever you are who judges! For in whatever you judge another, you judge yourself. For you who judge do the same things.
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who commit such things.
3 And do you think, O man - who judges those who do such things and yet does the same - that you shall escape the judgment of God?
4 Or do you think so little of the riches of His bountifulness and patience and long suffering, not knowing that the bountifulness of God leads you to repentance?
5 But you, because of your hardness and unrepentant heart, are laying up a treasure of wrath for yourself on the Day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God,
6 Who will reward everyone according to his works
7 (indeed, everlasting life to those who, through patience in well-doing, seek glory and honor and immortality,
8 but to those who are contentious and disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath).
9 Tribulation and anguish shall be upon the soul of every man who does evil –the Jew first and also the Greek.
10 But glory and honor and peace shall be to everyone who does good - to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
11 For there is no partiality with God.
