Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Gimel
17 (A)Deal bountifully with Your slave,
That I may live and keep Your word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.
19 I am a (B)sojourner in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.
20 My soul is crushed [a](C)with longing
For Your judgments at all times.
21 You (D)rebuke the arrogant, [b]the (E)cursed,
Who (F)stray from Your commandments.
22 (G)Take away reproach and contempt from me,
For I (H)observe Your testimonies.
23 Even though (I)princes sit and talk against me,
Your slave (J)muses on Your statutes.
24 Your testimonies also are my (K)delight;
They are [c]my counselors.
Daleth
25 My (L)soul clings to the dust;
(M)Revive me (N)according to Your word.
26 I have recounted my ways, and You have answered me;
(O)Teach me Your statutes.
27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts,
So I will (P)muse on Your wondrous deeds.
28 My (Q)soul [d]weeps because of grief;
(R)Raise me up according to Your word.
29 Remove the false way from me,
And graciously grant me Your law.
30 I have chosen the faithful way;
I have [e]placed Your judgments before me.
31 I (S)cling to Your testimonies;
O Yahweh, do not put me to shame!
32 I shall run the way of Your commandments,
For You will (T)enlarge my heart.
5 Now Lord Yahweh of hosts,
The One who (A)touches the land so that it melts,
And (B)all those who inhabit it mourn,
And all of it rises up like the Nile
And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;
6 The One who builds His [a](C)upper chambers in the heavens
And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth;
The One who (D)calls for the waters of the sea
And (E)pours them out on the face of the earth;
(F)Yahweh is His name.
7 “Are you not as the sons of (G)Ethiopia to Me,
O sons of Israel?” declares Yahweh.
“Have I not brought up Israel from the land of Egypt,
And the (H)Philistines from Caphtor and the (I)Arameans from (J)Kir?
8 Behold, the (K)eyes of Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom,
And I will (L)destroy it from the face of the earth;
Nevertheless, I will (M)not totally destroy the house of Jacob,”
Declares Yahweh.
9 “For behold, I am commanding,
And I will (N)shake the house of Israel among all nations
As grain is shaken in a sieve,
But not a [b]kernel will fall to the ground.
10 All the (O)sinners of My people will die by the sword,
Those who say, ‘(P)The calamity will not overtake or confront us.’
Yahweh Will Rebuild Israel
11 “In that day I will (Q)raise up the fallen [c](R)booth of David
And wall up its (S)breaches;
I will also raise up its ruins
And rebuild it as in the (T)ancient days,
12 (U)That they may possess the remnant of (V)Edom
And all the [d]nations who are (W)called by My name,”
Declares Yahweh who does this.
13 “Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh,
“When the (X)plowman will overtake the reaper
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
When the (Y)mountains will drip [e]sweet (Z)wine
And all the hills will melt.
14 Also I will (AA)restore the [f]captivity of My people Israel,
And they will (AB)rebuild the desolated cities and live in them;
They will also (AC)plant vineyards and drink their wine
And make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will also plant them on their land,
And (AD)they will not again be uprooted from their land
Which I have given them,”
Says Yahweh your God.
Words to the Jews
41 (A)Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that (B)came down from heaven.” 42 They were saying, “(C)Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother (D)we know? How does He now say, ‘(E)I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me (F)draws him; and I will (G)raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written (H)in the prophets, ‘(I)And they shall all be (J)taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 (K)Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes (L)has eternal life. 48 (M)I am the bread of life. 49 (N)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread which (O)comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and (P)not die. 51 (Q)I am the living bread that (R)came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, (S)he will live forever; and also the bread which I will give (T)for the life of the world is (U)My flesh.”
