Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
19 Remember my affliction and my mourning, the wormwood and the bitterness.
20 My soul has remembered them and is humbled in me.
21 I consider this in my heart; therefore, I have hope.
22 It is because of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed. His compassions do not fail.
23 They are renewed every morning. Great is Your faithfulness!
24 “The LORD is my portion;” says my soul, “therefore, I will hope in Him!”
25 The LORD is good to those who trust in Him, to the soul that seeks Him.
26 It is good to wait, watchfully yet silently, for the salvation of the LORD.
7 Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, and of her rebellion, all her pleasant things that she had in times past, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and no one helped her. The adversary saw her and mocked her Sabbaths.
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore, she is filthy. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness. Indeed, she sighs and turns away.
9 Her uncleanness is in her skirts. She did not remember her future, therefore she fell spectacularly. She had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction. For the enemy is proud.
10 The enemy has stretched out his hand upon all her pleasant things. For she has seen the heathen enter into her Sanctuary, whom You Commanded not to enter into Your congregation.
11 All her people sigh and seek bread. They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul. See, O LORD, and consider. For I have become vile.
12 Is it nothing to you, all you who pass this way? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow which is done to me, with which the LORD has afflicted on the day of His fierce wrath.
13 From above has He sent fire into my bones, which prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet, turned me back. He has made me desolate, daily in heaviness.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound upon His Hand. They are wrapped and come up upon my neck. He has made my strength fall. The LORD has delivered me into their hands. I am not able to rise up.
15 The LORD has tread all my valiant men in the midst of me under foot. He has called an assembly against me, to destroy my young men. The LORD has tread the winepress upon the virgin, the daughter of Judah.
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
30 And behold, two blind men, sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried, saying, “O Lord, the Son of David! Have mercy on us!”
31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace. But they cried all the more, saying, “O Lord! The Son of David! Have mercy on us!”
32 Then Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, “What would you have Me do to you?
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened!”
34 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight. And they followed Him.
