Lamedh
89 (A)Forever, Lord,
Your word stands in heaven.
90 Your (B)faithfulness continues [a]throughout generations;
You (C)established the earth, and it (D)stands.
91 They stand this day by Your (E)ordinances,
For (F)all things are Your servants.
92 If Your Law had not been my (G)delight,
Then I would have perished (H)in my misery.
93 I will (I)never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have [b](J)revived me.
94 I am Yours, (K)save me;
For I have (L)sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked (M)wait for me to destroy me;
I will diligently consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen [c]a limit to all perfection;
Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
The Scroll Is Replaced
27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had (A)burned the scroll and the words which (B)Baruch had written [a]at the dictation of Jeremiah, saying, 28 “(C)Take again another scroll and write on it all the previous words that were (D)on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned. 29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘This is what the Lord says: “You have (E)burned this scroll, saying, ‘(F)Why have you written on it [b]that the (G)king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will make mankind and animals disappear from it?’” 30 Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He shall have (H)no one to sit on the throne of David, and his (I)dead body shall be thrown out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31 I will also (J)punish him, his [c]descendants, and his servants for their wrongdoing, and I will (K)bring on them and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the people of Judah all the disaster that I have declared to them—but they did not listen.”’”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch the son of Neriah, and he (L)wrote on it at the [d]dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many [e]similar words were added to them.
Many Are Healed
38 (A)Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was (B)suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him [a]to help her. 39 And standing over her, He (C)rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and served them.
40 (D)Now while (E)the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He was (F)laying His hands on each one of them and (G)healing them. 41 Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, “You are (H)the Son of God!” And yet He was (I)rebuking them and would (J)not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the [b]Christ.
42 (K)Now when day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and they came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them. 43 But He said to them, “I must also preach the kingdom of God to the other cities, (L)because I was sent for this purpose.”
44 So He kept on preaching in the synagogues (M)of [c]Judea.
