The
fool
A
says in his heart,
"There
is no God."
They
are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there
is no one who does good.
2
The
LORD looks down from heaven
on
the sons of men
to
see if there are any who understand,
any
who seek God.
3
All
have turned aside,
they
have together become corrupt;
there
is no one who does good,
not
even one.
4
Will
evildoers never learn--
those
who devour my people as men eat bread
and
who do not call on the LORD?
5
There
they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for
God is present in the company of the righteous.
6
You
evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,

Oh,
that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When
the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,
let
Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! 1

1
We
have heard with our ears, O God;
our
fathers have told us
what
you did in their days,
in
days long ago.
2
With
your hand you drove out the nations
and
planted our fathers;
you
crushed the peoples
and
made our fathers flourish.
3
It
was not by their sword that they won the land,
nor
did their arm bring them victory;
it
was your right hand, your arm,
and
the light of your face, for you loved them.
4
You
are my King and my God,
who
decrees B
victories for Jacob.
5
Through
you we push back our enemies;
through
your name we trample our foes.
6
I
do not trust in my bow,
my
sword does not bring me victory;
7
but
you give us victory over our enemies,
you
put our adversaries to shame.
8
In
God we make our boast all day long,
and
we will praise your name forever.
Selah
9
But
now you have rejected and humbled us;
you
no longer go out with our armies.
10
You
made us retreat before the enemy,
and
our adversaries have plundered us. 2
11
You
gave us up to be devoured like sheep
and
have scattered us among the nations.
12
You
sold your people for a pittance,
gaining
nothing from their sale.
13
You
have made us a reproach to our neighbors,
the
scorn and derision of those around us.
14
You
have made us a byword among the nations;
the
peoples shake their heads at us.
15
My
disgrace is before me all day long,
and
my face is covered with shame
16
at
the taunts of those who reproach and revile me,
because
of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
17
All
this happened to us,
though
we had not forgotten you
or
been false to your covenant.
18
Our
hearts had not turned back;
our
feet had not strayed from your path.
19
But
you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals
and
covered us over with deep darkness.
20
If
we had forgotten the name of our God
or
spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21
would
not God have discovered it,
since
he knows the secrets of the heart?
22
Yet
for your sake we face death all day long;
we
are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23
Awake,
O Lord! Why do you sleep?
Rouse
yourself! Do not reject us forever. 3
24
Why
do you hide your face
and
forget our misery and oppression?
25
We
are brought down to the dust;
our
bodies cling to the ground.
26
Rise
up and help us;
redeem
us because of your unfailing love. 4

1
Why
have you rejected us forever, O God?
Why
does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2
Remember
the people you purchased of old,
the
tribe of your inheritance, whom you redeemed--
Mount
Zion, where you dwelt.
3
Turn
your steps toward these everlasting ruins,
all
this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
4
Your
foes roared in the place where you met with us;
they
set up their standards as signs.
5
They
behaved like men wielding axes
to
cut through a thicket of trees.
6
They
smashed all the carved paneling
with
their axes and hatchets.
7
They
burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they
defiled the dwelling place of your Name.
8
They
said in their hearts, "We will crush them completely!"
They
burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.
9
We
are given no miraculous signs;
no
prophets are left,
and
none of us knows how long this will be.
10
How
long will the enemy mock you, O God?
Will
the foe revile your name forever?
11
Why
do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
Take
it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!
12
But
you, O God, are my king from of old;
you
bring salvation upon the earth. 5
13
It
was you who split open the sea by your power;
you
broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
14
It
was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan
and
gave him as food to the creatures of the desert.
15
It
was you who opened up springs and streams;
you
dried up the ever flowing rivers.
16
The
day is yours, and yours also the night;
you
established the sun and moon.
17
It
was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;
you
made both summer and winter.
18
Remember
how the enemy has mocked you, O LORD,
how
foolish people have reviled your name.
19
Do
not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts;
do
not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
20
Have
regard for your covenant,
because
haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21
Do
not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace;
may
the poor and needy praise your name.
22
Rise
up, O God, and defend your cause;
remember
how fools mock you all day long.
23
Do
not ignore the clamor of your adversaries,
the
uproar of your enemies, which rises continually. 6

Praise
the LORD, O my soul.
O
LORD my God, you are very great;
you
are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2
He
wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he
stretches out the heavens like a tent
3
and
lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He
makes the clouds his chariot
and
rides on the wings of the wind.
4
He
makes winds his messengers, A
flames
of fire his servants.
5
He
set the earth on its foundations;
it
can never be moved.
6
You
covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the
waters stood above the mountains.
7
But
at your rebuke the waters fled,
at
the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
8
they
flowed over the mountains,
they
went down into the valleys,
to
the place you assigned for them.
9
You
set a boundary they cannot cross;
never
again will they cover the earth.
10
He
makes springs pour water into the ravines;
it
flows between the mountains.
11
They
give water to all the beasts of the field;
the
wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12
The
birds of the air nest by the waters;
they
sing among the branches.
13
He
waters the mountains from his upper chambers;
the
earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.
14
He
makes grass grow for the cattle,
and
plants for man to cultivate--
bringing
forth food from the earth: 7
15
wine
that gladdens the heart of man,
oil
to make his face shine,
and
bread that sustains his heart.
16
The
trees of the LORD are well watered,
the
cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17
There
the birds make their nests;
the
stork has its home in the pine trees.
18
The
high mountains belong to the wild goats;
the
crags are a refuge for the coneys. B
19
The
moon marks off the seasons,
and
the sun knows when to go down.
20
You
bring darkness, it becomes night,
and
all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21
The
lions roar for their prey
and
seek their food from God.
22
The
sun rises, and they steal away;
they
return and lie down in their dens.
23
Then
man goes out to his work,
to
his labor until evening.
24
How
many are your works, O LORD!
In
wisdom you made them all;
the
earth is full of your creatures.
25
There
is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming
with creatures beyond number--
living
things both large and small.
26
There
the ships go to and fro,
and
the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there. 8
27
These
all look to you
to
give them their food at the proper time.
28
When
you give it to them,
they
gather it up;
when
you open your hand,
they
are satisfied with good things.
29
When
you hide your face,
they
are terrified;
when
you take away their breath,
they
die and return to the dust.
30
When
you send your Spirit,
they
are created,
and
you renew the face of the earth.
31
May
the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may
the LORD rejoice in his works--
32
he
who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
who
touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33
I
will sing to the LORD all my life;
I
will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34May
my meditation be pleasing to him,
as
I rejoice in the LORD.
35
But
may sinners vanish from the earth
and
the wicked be no more.
Praise
the LORD, O my soul.

OLD
TESTAMENT:
2 KINGS 23:31 - 25:30
31
Jehoahaz
was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in
Jerusalem three months. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of
Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. 32
He
did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
33
Pharaoh
Neco put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath E
so that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a
levy of a hundred talents F
of silver and a talent
G
of gold. 34
Pharaoh
Neco made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah
and changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and
carried him off to Egypt, and there he died. 35
Jehoiakim
paid Pharaoh Neco the silver and gold he demanded. In order to do so,
he taxed the land and exacted the silver and gold from the people of
the land according to their assessments.
36
Jehoiakim
was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in
Jerusalem eleven years. His mother's name was Zebidah daughter of
Pedaiah; she was from Rumah. 37
And
he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
24
1
During
Jehoiakim's reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the land,
and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. But then he changed
his mind and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar. 2
The
LORD sent Babylonian, A
Aramean, Moabite and Ammonite raiders against him. He sent them to
destroy Judah, in accordance with the word of the LORD proclaimed by
his servants the prophets. 15
3
Surely
these things happened to Judah according to the LORD's command, in
order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of
Manasseh and all he had done, 4
including
the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with
innocent blood, and the LORD was not willing to forgive.
5
As
for the other events of Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are they
not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 6
Jehoiakim
rested with his fathers. And Jehoiachin his son succeeded him as
king.
7
The
king of Egypt did not march out from his own country again, because
the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Wadi of
Egypt to the Euphrates River.
8
Jehoiachin
was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in
Jerusalem three months. His mother's name was Nehushta daughter of
Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem. 9
He
did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father had done.
10
At
that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon advanced on
Jerusalem and laid siege to it, 11
and
Nebuchadnezzar himself came up to the city while his officers were
besieging it. 12
Jehoiachin
king of Judah, his mother, his attendants, his nobles and his
officials all surrendered to him.
In
the eighth year of the reign of the king of Babylon, he took
Jehoiachin prisoner.
13
As
the LORD had declared, Nebuchadnezzar removed all the treasures from
the temple of the LORD and from the royal palace, and took away all
the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made for the temple
of the LORD. 14
He
carried into 16
exile all Jerusalem: all the officers and fighting men, and all the
craftsmen and artisans--a total of ten thousand. Only the poorest
people of the land were left.
15
Nebuchadnezzar
took Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. He also took from Jerusalem to
Babylon the king's mother, his wives, his officials and the leading
men of the land.
16
The
king of Babylon also deported to Babylon the entire force of seven
thousand fighting men, strong and fit for war, and a thousand
craftsmen and artisans. 17
He
made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king in his place and changed his
name to Zedekiah.
18
Zedekiah
was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in
Jerusalem eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of
Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. 19
He
did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20
It
was because of the LORD's anger that all this happened to Jerusalem
and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence.
Now
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
25
1
So
in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth
month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with
his whole army. He encamped outside the city and built siege works
all around it. 2
The
city was kept under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3
By
the ninth day of the fourth A
month the famine in the city had become so severe that there was no
food for the people to eat. 4
Then
the city wall was broken through, 17
and the whole army fled at night through the gate between the two
walls near the king's garden, though the Babylonians B
were surrounding the city. They fled toward the Arabah, C
5
but
the Babylonian D
army pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All
his soldiers were separated from him and scattered, 6
and
he was captured. He was taken to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where
sentence was pronounced on him. 7
They
killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his
eyes, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.
8
On
the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial
guard, an official of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9
He
set fire to the temple of the LORD, the royal palace and all the
houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down. 10
The
whole Babylonian army, under the commander of the imperial guard,
broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11
Nebuzaradan
the commander of the guard carried into exile the people who remained
in the city, along with the rest of the populace and those who had
gone over to the king of Babylon. 12
But
the commander left behind some of the poorest people of the land to
work the vineyards and fields.
13
The
Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars, the movable stands and the
bronze Sea that were at the temple of the LORD and they carried the
bronze to Babylon.
14
They
also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes and all the
bronze articles used in the temple service. 15
The
commander of the imperial guard took 18
away the censers and sprinkling bowls--all that were made of pure
gold or silver.
16
The
bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the movable stands, which
Solomon had made for the temple of the LORD, was more than could be
weighed. 17
Each
pillar was twenty-seven feet E
high. The bronze capital on top of one pillar was four and a half
feet F
high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates of bronze all
around. The other pillar, with its network, was similar.
18
The
commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah the chief priest,
Zephaniah the priest next in rank and the three doorkeepers. 19
Of
those still in the city, he took the officer in charge of the
fighting men and five royal advisers. He also took the secretary who
was chief officer in charge of conscripting the people of the land
and sixty of his men who were found in the city. 20
Nebuzaradan
the commander took them all and brought them to the king of Babylon
at Riblah. 21
There
at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed.
So
Judah went into captivity, away from her land.
22
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,
to be over the people he had left behind in Judah. 23
When
all the army officers and their men heard that the king of Babylon
had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at
Mizpah--Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son
of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, 19
Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, and their men.
24
Gedaliah
took an oath to reassure them and their men. "Do not be afraid
of the Babylonian officials," he said. "Settle down in the
land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you."
25
In
the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of
Elishama, who was of royal blood, came with ten men and assassinated
Gedaliah and also the men of Judah and the Babylonians who were with
him at Mizpah. 26
At
this, all the people from the least to the greatest, together with
the army officers, fled to Egypt for fear of the Babylonians.
27
In
the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in
the year Evil-Merodach G
became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin from prison on the
twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. 28
He
spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of
the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29
So
Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life
ate regularly at the king's table. 30
Day
by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he
lived. 20
NEW
TESTAMENT:
ACTS 22:17 - 23:10
17
"When
I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a
trance
18
and
saw the Lord speaking. `Quick!'
he said to me. `Leave
Jerusalem immediately, because they will not accept your testimony
about me.'
19
"`Lord,'
I replied, `these men know that I went from one synagogue to another
to imprison and beat those who believe in you. 20
And
when the blood of your martyr A
Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and guarding the
clothes of those who were killing him.'
21
"Then
the Lord said to me, `Go;
I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'
"
22
The
crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their
voices and shouted, "Rid the earth of him! He's not fit to
live!"
23
As
they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust
into the air,
24
the
commander ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks. He directed
that he be flogged and questioned in order to find out why the people
were shouting at him like this. 25
As
they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion
standing there, "Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who
hasn't even been found guilty?"
26
When
the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it.
"What are you going to do?" he asked. "This man is a
Roman citizen."
27
The
commander went to Paul and asked, "Tell me, are you a Roman
citizen?"
"Yes,
I am," he answered. 21
28
Then
the commander said, "I had to pay a big price for my
citizenship."
"But
I was born a citizen," Paul replied.
29
Those
who were about to question him withdrew immediately. The commander
himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman
citizen, in chains.
30
The
next day, since the commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was
being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief
priests and all the Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul and
had him stand before them.
23
1
Paul
looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, "My brothers, I have
fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day." 2
At
this the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to
strike him on the mouth. 3
Then
Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall!
You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself
violate the law by commanding that I be struck!"
4
Those
who were standing near Paul said, "You dare to insult God's high
priest?"
5
Paul
replied, "Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high
priest; for it is written: `Do
not speak evil about the ruler of your people.'
A"
22
6
Then
Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others
Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my hope
in the resurrection of the dead." 7
When
he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the
Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8
(The
Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are
neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)
9
There
was a great uproar, and some of the teachers of the law who were
Pharisees stood up and argued vigorously. "We find nothing wrong
with this man," they said. "What if a spirit or an angel
has spoken to him?" 10
The
dispute became so violent that the commander was afraid Paul would be
torn to pieces by them. He ordered the troops to go down and take him
away from them by force and bring him into the barracks. 23

John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, F that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.G 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
