Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Nun
105 Your word is a (A)lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 I have (B)sworn and I have confirmed,
To keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am exceedingly (C)afflicted;
O Yahweh, [a](D)revive me according to Your word.
108 Oh be pleased with the (E)freewill offerings of my mouth, O Yahweh,
And (F)teach me Your judgments.
109 My (G)soul is continually [b]in my hand,
Yet I do not (H)forget Your law.
110 The wicked have (I)laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not (J)wandered from Your precepts.
111 I have (K)inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the (L)joy of my heart.
112 I have (M)inclined my heart to do Your statutes
Forever, (N)to the end.
6 Go to the (A)ant, O (B)sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having (C)no chief,
Officer or ruler,
8 Prepares her food (D)in the summer
And gathers her provision in the harvest.
9 How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10 “(E)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to [a]rest”—
11 (F)Your poverty will come in like [b]a vagabond
And your want like [c]an armed man.
12 A (G)vile person, a wicked man,
Is the one who walks with a (H)perverse mouth,
13 Who (I)winks with his eyes, who [d]signals with his feet,
Who [e]points with his fingers;
14 Who with (J)perversity in his heart continually (K)devises evil,
Who [f](L)spreads contentions.
15 Therefore (M)his disaster will come suddenly;
(N)Instantly he will be broken and there will be (O)no healing.
16 There are six things which Yahweh hates,
Even seven which are an abomination [g]to Him:
17 (P)Haughty eyes, a (Q)lying tongue,
And hands that (R)shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises (S)wicked thoughts,
(T)Feet that hasten to run to evil,
19 A (U)false witness who breathes out lies,
And one who [h](V)spreads strife among brothers.
Warning Against Adultery
20 (W)My son, observe the commandment of your father
And do not abandon the [i]law of your mother;
21 (X)Bind them continually on your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
22 When you (Y)walk about, [j]they will lead you;
When you sleep, [k]they will keep watch over you;
And when you awake, [l]they will speak to you.
23 For (Z)the commandment is a lamp and the [m]law is light;
And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
I Am the Light of the World
12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “(A)I am the Light of the world; (B)he who follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “(C)You are bearing witness about Yourself; Your witness is not [a]true.” 14 Jesus answered and said to them, “(D)Even if I bear witness about Myself, My witness is [b]true, for I know (E)where I came from and where I am going; but (F)you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 (G)You judge [c]according to the flesh; (H)I am not judging anyone. 16 But even (I)if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me. 17 Even in (J)your law it has been written that the witness of (K)two men is [d]true. 18 I am He who bears witness about Myself, and (L)the Father who sent Me bears witness about Me.” 19 So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; (M)if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 20 These words He spoke in (N)the treasury, as (O)He was teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because (P)His hour had not yet come.
21 Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and (Q)you will seek Me, and (R)will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So (S)the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, since He says, ‘(T)Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 And He was saying to them, “(U)You are from below, I am from above. (V)You are of this world, (W)I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you (X)will die in your sins. For unless you believe that [e](Y)I am He, (Z)you will die in your sins.” 25 So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “[f]What have I been saying to you from the beginning? 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but (AA)He who sent Me is true; and (AB)the things which I heard from Him, these I am saying to the world.” 27 They did not know that He had been speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you (AC)lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that [g](AD)I am He, and (AE)I do nothing from Myself, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; (AF)He [h]has not left Me alone, for (AG)I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” 30 As He was speaking these things, (AH)many believed in Him.
