Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
66 1 He provoketh all men to praise the Lord and to consider his works. 6 He setteth forth the power of God to affray the rebels. 10 And showeth how God hath delivered Israel from great bondage and afflictions. 13 He promiseth to give sacrifice, 16 And provoketh all men to hear what God hath done for him, and to praise his Name.
To him that excelleth. A song or Psalm.
1 Rejoice in God, [a]all ye inhabitants of the earth.
2 Sing forth the glory of his Name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be [b]in subjection unto thee.
4 All the world shall worship thee, and sing unto thee, even sing of thy Name. Selah.
5 [c]Come and behold the works of God: he is terrible in his doings toward [d]the sons of men.
6 He hath turned the sea into dry land: they passed through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth the world with his power: his eyes behold the nations: the rebellious shall not [e]exalt themselves. Selah.
8 Praise our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.
9 Which [f]holdeth our souls in life, and suffereth not our feet to slip.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us, thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
11 Thou hast brought us unto the [g]snare, and laid a strait chain upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
28 1 The false prophecy of Hananiah. 12 Jeremiah reproveth Hananiah, and prophesieth.
1 And that same year in the beginning of the [a]reign of Zedekiah King of Judah, in the [b]fourth year, and in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of [c]Gibeon, spake to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the Priests, and of all the people, and said,
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the King of Babel.
3 [d]Within two years space I will bring into this place all the vessels of the Lord’s House, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel took away from this place, and carried them into Babel.
4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim King of Judah, with all them that were carried away captive of Judah, and went into Babel, saith the Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babel.
5 Then the Prophet Jeremiah said unto the [e]Prophet Hananiah in the presence of the Priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the House of the Lord.
6 Even the Prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: the [f]Lord so do, the Lord confirm thy words which thou hast prophesied, to restore the vessels of the Lord’s house, and all that is carried captive from Babel, into this place.
7 But hear thou now this word that I will speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8 The Prophets that have been before me, and before thee in time past, [g]prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of plagues, and of pestilence.
9 And the Prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the Prophet shall come to pass, then shall the Prophet be known that the Lord hath truly sent him.
10 Then Hananiah the Prophet took the yoke from the Prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and [h]brake it.
11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, from the neck of all nations within the space of two years: and the Prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 ¶ Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the Prophet, (after that Hananiah the Prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the Prophet Jeremiah) saying,
13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, I have put a [i]yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel: for they shall serve him, and I have given him the [j]beasts of the field also.
15 Then said the Prophet Jeremiah, unto the Prophet Hananiah, Hear now Hananiah, the Lord hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will cast thee from of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebelliously against the Lord.
17 So Hananiah the Prophet [k]died the same year in the seventh month.
12 ¶ (A)[a]Now it came to pass, as he was in a certain city, behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he commanded him that he should tell it no man: but Go, saith he, and show thyself to the Priest, and offer for thy cleansing, as (B)Moses hath commanded, for a witness unto them.
15 [b]But so much more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of him of their infirmities.
16 But he kept himself apart in the wilderness, and prayed.
