Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
78 Hear my doctrine, O my people. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will declare high sentences of old
3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children; but to the generation to come we will show the praise of the LORD, His power also, and His wonderful works that He has done.
12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt (in the field of Zoan).
13 He divided the sea and led them through. He also made the waters to stand as a heap.
14 Also, in the daytime, He led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink, as with the great depths.
16 He also brought floods out of the stony rock, making the waters descend like the rivers.
17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, and leads you by the way that you should go.
18 “Oh, that you had listened to My Commandments! Then your peace would have been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea.
19 “Also, your seed would have been as the sand, and the fruit of your body like its gravel. His name would not have been cut off or destroyed before Me.
20 “Go out from Babel. Flee from the Chaldeans with a voice of joy! Tell and declare this. Show it forth to the end of the Earth. Say, ‘The LORD has redeemed His servant, Jacob!
21 ‘And they were not thirsty! He led them through the wilderness! He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them! For He split the rock and the water gushed out!’
11 Do not speak evil of one another, brothers. The one who speaks evil of his brother, or the one who condemns his brother, speaks evil of the Law, and condemns the Law. And if you condemn the Law, you are not an observer of the Law, but a judge.
12 There is one Lawgiver, Who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into a certain city and continue there a year and buy and sell and gain a profit.”
14 And yet, you cannot say what shall happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is but a vapor that appears for a little time and afterward vanishes away.
15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, and if we live, we will do this or that”.
16 But now you exult in your boastings. All such boasting is evil.
