At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: A hot
wind comes from me out of the bare heights in the desert towards
my poor people, not to winnow or cleanse
a wind too strong for that. Now it is I who speak in judgement
against them.
For my people are foolish,
they do not know me;
they are stupid children,
they have no understanding.
They are skilled in doing evil,
but do not know how to do good.
I looked on the earth, and lo, it was waste and void;
and to the heavens, and they had no light.
I looked on the mountains, and lo, they were quaking,
and all the hills moved to and fro.
I looked, and lo, there was no one at all,
and all the birds of the air had fled.
I looked, and lo, the fruitful land was a desert,
and all its cities were laid in ruins
before the Lord , before his fierce anger.
For thus says the Lord : The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I
will not make a full end.
Because of this the earth shall mourn,
and the heavens above grow black;
for I have spoken, I have purposed;
I have not relented nor will I turn back.

Fools have said in their hearts There is no God:
they have all become vile and abominable in their doings,
there is not one that does good.
The Lord looked down from heaven
upon the children of Adam:
to see if there were any who would act wisely
and seek after God.
But they have all turned out of the way,
they have all alike become corrupt:
there is none that does good, no not one.
Are all the evildoers devoid of understanding:
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not pray to the Lord?
They shall be struck with terror:
for God is with the company of the righteous.
Though they frustrate the poor in their hopes:
surely the Lord is their refuge.
O that deliverance for Israel might come forth
from Zion:
when the Lord turns again the fortunes of his people,
then shall Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Saviour
and of Christ Jesus our hope, To Timothy, my loyal child in the
faith:Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus
our Lord. I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has
strengthened me, because he judged me faithful and appointed me
to his service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a
persecutor, and a man of violence. But I received mercy because I
had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord
overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinnersof whom I am the foremost. But
for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost,
Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience, making me an
example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life.
To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be
honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. I am giving you these
instructions, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies
made earlier about you, so that by following them you may fight the
good fight, having faith and a good conscience. By rejecting
conscience, certain persons have suffered shipwreck in the faith;

Now all the tax=collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to
him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying,
This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them. So he told them
this parable: Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing
one of them, does not leave the ninety=nine in the wilderness and go
after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he
lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he
calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice
with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost. Just so, I tell you,
there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than
over ninety=nine righteous people who need no repentance. Or what
woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light
a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours,
saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.
Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner who repents.
