Version
Psalm 36:5-10

Your (A)lovingkindness, O Lord, [a]extends to the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Your (B)righteousness is like the [b]mountains of God;
Your (C)judgments are like a great deep.
O Lord, You (D)preserve man and beast.
How (E)precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men (F)take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
They (G)drink their fill of the [c]abundance of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the (H)river of Your delights.
For with You is the (I)fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

10 O continue Your lovingkindness to (J)those who know You,
And Your (K)righteousness to the upright in heart.

Jeremiah 4:1-4

Judah Threatened with Invasion

“If you will (A)return, O Israel,” declares the Lord,
Then you should return to Me.
And (B)if you will put away your detested things from My presence,
And will not waver,
And you will (C)swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’
(D)In truth, in justice and in righteousness;
Then the (E)nations will bless themselves in Him,
And (F)in Him they will glory.”

For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem,

[a](G)Break up your fallow ground,
And (H)do not sow among thorns.
(I)Circumcise yourselves to the Lord
And remove the foreskins of your heart,
Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Or else My (J)wrath will go forth like fire
And burn with (K)none to quench it,
Because of the evil of your deeds.”

Luke 11:14-23

Pharisees’ Blasphemy

14 (A)And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons (B)by (C)Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” 16 Others, [a]to test Him, (D)were demanding of Him a [b]sign from heaven. 17 (E)But He knew their thoughts and said to them, [c]Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against [d]itself falls. 18 If (F)Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by (G)Beelzebul. 19 And if I by (H)Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out demons by the (I)finger of God, then (J)the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When [e]a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are [f]undisturbed. 22 But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder. 23 (K)He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.
