Proverbs 23:6-8

6
 Eat thou not the bread of
him that hath
an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

7
 For as he thinketh in his heart, so
is
he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart
is
not with thee.

8
 The morsel
which
thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

Isaiah 12:1–14:32

1
 And in that day thou [the remnant of the L
ORD
's people] shalt say, O L
ORD
, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

2
 Behold, God
is
my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the L
ORD
JEHOVAH
is
my strength and
my
song; he also is become my salvation.

3
 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4
 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the L
ORD
, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

5
 Sing unto the L
ORD
; for he hath done excellent things: this
is
known in all the earth.

6
 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great
is
the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

13:
1
 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

2
 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

3
 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger,
even
them that rejoice in my highness.

4
 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the L
ORD
of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

5
 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven,
even
the L
ORD
, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

6
 Howl ye; for the day of the L
ORD
is
at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7
 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

8
 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces
shall be as
flames.

9
 Behold, the day of the L
ORD
cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10
 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

11
 And I will punish the world for
their
evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12
 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

13
 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the L
ORD
of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

14
 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

15
 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined
unto them
shall fall by the sword.

16
 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

17
 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and
as for
gold, they shall not delight in it.

18
 
Their
bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.

19
 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20
 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

21
 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

22
 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in
their
pleasant palaces: and her time
is
near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

14:
1
 For the L
ORD
will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2
 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the L
ORD
for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

3
 And it shall come to pass in the day that the L
ORD
shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

4
 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

5
 The L
ORD
hath broken the staff of the wicked,
and
the sceptre of the rulers.

6
 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted,
and
none hindereth.

7
 The whole earth is at rest,
and
is quiet: they break forth into singing.

8
 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee,
and
the cedars of Lebanon,
saying,
Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

9
 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet
thee
at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee,
even
all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10
 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

11
 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave,
and
the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

12
 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
how
art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13
 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14
 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15
 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16
 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,
and
consider thee,
saying, Is
this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

17
 
That
made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof;
that
opened not the house of his prisoners?

18
 All the kings of the nations,
even
all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

19
 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,
and as
the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20
 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land,
and
slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21
 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

22
 For I will rise up against them, saith the L
ORD
of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the L
ORD
.

23
 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the L
ORD
of hosts.

24
 The L
ORD
of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed,
so
shall it stand:

25
 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

26
 This
is
the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this
is
the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27
 For the L
ORD
of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul
it?
and his hand
is
stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

28
 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

29
 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit
shall be
a fiery flying serpent.

30
 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

31
 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina,
art
dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none
shall be
alone in his appointed times.

32
 What shall
one
then answer the messengers of the nation? That the L
ORD
hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

2 Corinthians 13:1-14

1
 This
is
the third
time
I [Paul] am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2
 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3
 since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4
 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

5
 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6
 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

7
 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8
 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9
 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish,
even
your perfection.

10
 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

11
 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

12
 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13
 All the saints salute you.

14
 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost,
be
with you all. Amen.
