Psalm 123

Prayer for the Lord’s Help.

A Song of Ascents.

123 To You I have (A)raised my eyes,
You who (B)are enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of (C)servants look to the hand of their master,
As the eyes of a female servant to the hand of her mistress,
So our (D)eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious to us.

3 (E)Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us,
For we have had much more than enough of (F)contempt.
4 Our soul has had much more than enough
Of the (G)scoffing of (H)those who are at ease,
And with the (I)contempt of the proud.

Jeremiah 7:27-34

27 “So you shall (A)speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will (B)not answer you. 28 And you shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that (C)did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept discipline; [a](D)trustworthiness has perished and has been eliminated from their mouth.

29 (E)Cut off [b]your hair and throw it away,
And (F)take up a song of mourning on the bare heights;
For the Lord has (G)rejected and forsaken
The generation of His wrath.’

30 For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,” declares the Lord. “They have (H)put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 31 They have (I)built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, to (J)burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I (K)did not command, and it did not come into My [c]mind.

32 “(L)Therefore, behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be called Topheth, or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter; for they will (M)bury in Topheth [d]because there is no other place. 33 The (N)dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth; and no one will frighten them away. 34 Then I will (O)eliminate from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride; for the (P)land will become a site of ruins.

Matthew 8:18-22

Discipleship Tested

18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, (A)He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. 19 (B)Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” 20 And Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but (C)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus *said to him, “(D)Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
