18 My joy is gone, grief is upon me,
my heart is sick.
19 Hark, the cry of my poor people
from far and wide in the land:
Is the Lord not in Zion?
Is her King not in her?

(Why have they provoked me to anger with their images,
with their foreign idols?)
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended,
and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of my poor people I am hurt,
I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
23 Why then has the health of my poor people
not been restored?
1 O that my head were a spring of water,
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
so that I might weep day and night
for the slain of my poor people!

1 O God, the heathen have come into your land:
they have defiled your holy temple,
they have made Jerusalem a heap of stones.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants
as food to the birds of the air:
and the flesh of your faithful ones
to the wild beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood they have spilt like water
on every side of Jerusalem:
and there is none to bury them.
4 We have become a mockery to our neighbours:
the scorn and laughing−stock of those about us.
5 How long, O Lord, shall your anger be so extreme:
will your jealous fury burn like fire?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you:
on the kingdoms that have not called upon your name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob:
and made his dwelling−place a desolation.
8 Do not remember against us the sin of former times:
but let your compassion hasten to meet us,
for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, O God our saviour,
for the honour of your name:
O deliver us and expiate our sins, for your names sake.

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and thanksgivings should be made for everyone,
2 for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a
quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.
3 This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4 who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
5 For
there is one God;
there is also one mediator between God and humankind,
Christ Jesus, himself human,
6 who gave himself a ransom for allthis was attested at the right time
.
7 For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the
truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up
holy hands without anger or argument;
9 also that the women should dress themselves modestly and decently
in suitable clothing, not with their hair braided, or with gold, pearls,
or expensive clothes,
10 but with good works, as is proper for women who profess
reverence for God.

1 Then Jesus said to the disciples, There was a rich man who had a
manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was
squandering his property. 2 So he summoned him and said to him,
What is this that I hear about you? Give me an account of your
management, because you cannot be my manager any longer. 3 Then
the manager said to himself, What will I do, now that my master is
taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig,
and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have decided what to do so that, when
I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.
5 So, summoning his masters debtors one by one, he asked the first,
How much do you owe my master? 6 He answered, A hundred jugs of
olive oil. He said to him, Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it
fifty. 7 Then he asked another, And how much do you owe? He
replied, A hundred containers of wheat. He said to him, Take your
bill and make it eighty. 8 And his master commended the dishonest
manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age
are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the
children of light. 9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by
means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome
you into the eternal homes. 10 Whoever is faithful in a very little is
faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is
dishonest also in much. 11 If then you have not been faithful with the
dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12 And if
you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will
give you what is your own? 13 No slave can serve two masters; for a
slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the
one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
