Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

3 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

² Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee.

³ And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

⁴ And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!

⁵ And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

¹⁰ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.

⁵ Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

⁷ With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

⁸ Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.

⁹ Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

¹⁰ Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

¹¹ Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

¹² And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.

²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having [any]:

³⁰ and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;

³¹ and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.

¹⁴ But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,

¹⁵ and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings.

¹⁶ And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, [Simon's] brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;

¹⁸ and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.

¹⁹ And going on thence a little, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these [were] in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;

²⁰ and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.
