Isaiah 53:1–54:17
1O Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2We brought a report as [of] a child before him; [he is] as a root in a thirsty land: he has no form nor comeliness; and we saw him, but he had no form nor beauty. 3But his form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; [he was] a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for his face is turned from [us]: he was dishonored, and not esteemed. 4He bears our sins, and is pained for us: yet we accounted him to be in trouble, and in suffering, and in affliction. 5But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; [and] by his bruises we were healed. 6All we as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way; and the Lord gave him up for our sins. 7And he, because of his affliction, opens not his mouth: he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. 8In [his] humiliation his judgment was taken away: who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth: because of the iniquities of my people he was led to death. 9And I will give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death; for he practised no iniquity, nor craft with his mouth. 10The Lord also is pleased to purge him from his stroke. If you⌃ can give an offering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed: 11the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of his soul, to show him light, and to form [him] with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and he shall bear their sins. 12Therefore he shall inherit many, and he shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because his soul was delivered to death: and he was numbered among the transgressors; and he bore the sins of many, and was delivered because of their iniquities. Chapter 541Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said, 2Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins; 3spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4Fear not, because you have been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you were reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood. 5For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth. 6The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God. 7For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you. 8In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you. 9From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I swore to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened, 10shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it]. 11Afflicted and outcast you have not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations; 12and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones. 13And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace. 14And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you. 15Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge. 16Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you]. 17I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you⌃ shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 112:1–4(MT: 113)
MT Psalm 113 = LXX Psalm 112 (standard offset).
1(113) Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you⌃ servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord. 2Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever. 3From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised. 4The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 26:17–19
17As he that lays hold of a dog's tail, so is he that makes himself the champion of another's cause. 18As those who need correction put forth [fair] words to men, and he that first falls in with the proposal will be overthrown; 19so are all that lay wait for their own friends, and when they are revealed, say, I did it in jest.
New TestamentKing James Version
Ephesians 3:1–21
1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 13Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
