Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Book One
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
1 Blessed is the man[a]
who (A)walks not in (B)the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in (C)the way of sinners,
nor (D)sits in (E)the seat of (F)scoffers;
2 but his (G)delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,
and on his (H)law he meditates day and night.
The Jars Filled with Wine
12 “You shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, “Every jar shall be filled with wine.”’ And they will say to you, ‘Do we not indeed know that (A)every jar will be filled with wine?’ 13 Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: (B)Behold, I will fill with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land: (C)the kings who sit on David's throne, (D)the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 14 And I will (E)dash them one against another, fathers and sons together, declares the Lord. I will not pity or spare or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.’”
Exile Threatened
15 Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
16 (F)Give glory to the Lord your God
(G)before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the twilight mountains,
and (H)while you look for light
he turns it into gloom
and makes it (I)deep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
(J)my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord's flock has been taken captive.
26 “Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you (A)who fear God, to us has been sent (B)the message of (C)this salvation. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because (D)they did not recognize him nor understand (E)the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, (F)fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 And (G)though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, (H)they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when (I)they had carried out all that was written of him, (J)they took him down from (K)the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But (L)God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days (M)he appeared to those (N)who had come up with him (O)from Galilee to Jerusalem, (P)who are now (Q)his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news (R)that what God promised to the fathers, 33 (S)this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,
(T)“‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.’
34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, (U)(V)no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,
“‘I will give you (W)the holy and sure blessings of David.’
