ל LAMED
89 (A)Forever, O Lord,
Your word [a]is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it [b]abides.
91 They continue this day according to (B)Your ordinances,
For all are Your servants.
92 Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have given me life.
94 I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will [c]consider Your testimonies.
96 (C)I have seen the consummation of all perfection,
But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
Jeremiah Rewrites the Scroll
27 Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words which Baruch had written [a]at the instruction of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: 28 “Take yet another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned. 29 And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have burned this scroll, saying, (A)‘Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and cause man and beast to (B)cease from here?’ ” 30 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: (C)“He shall have no one to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be (D)cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31 I will punish him, his [b]family, and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah all the doom that I have pronounced against them; but they did not heed.” ’ ”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it [c]at the instruction of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And besides, there were added to them many similar words.

38 (B)Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was [a]sick with a high fever, and they (C)made request of Him concerning her. 39 So He stood over her and (D)rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.

And He, (I)rebuking them, did not allow them to [c]speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
