Deuteronomy 10

10:1 At that time Jehovah said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
10:2 And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
10:3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand.
10:4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Jehovah spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Jehovah gave them unto me.
10:5 And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Jehovah commanded me.
10:6 (And the children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead.
10:7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
10:8 At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
10:9 Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spake unto him.)
10:10 And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also; Jehovah would not destroy thee.
10:11 And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
10:12 And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
10:13 to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
10:14 Behold, unto Jehovah thy God belongeth heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.
10:15 Only Jehovah had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.
10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
10:17 For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward.
10:18 He doth execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loveth the sojourner, in giving him food and raiment.
10:19 Love ye therefore the sojourner; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10:20 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him shalt thou serve; and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear.
10:21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now Jehovah thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Psalm 104:1-18

104:1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:
104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
104:4 Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;
104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.
104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.
104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away
104:8 (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.
104:10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;
104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.
104:12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
104:13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,
104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, And oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.
104:16 The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
104:17 Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.
104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

Luke 7:18-35

7:18 And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
7:19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
7:20 And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
7:21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.
7:22 And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
7:23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
7:25 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
7:26 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
7:27 This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
7:28 I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
7:29 And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
7:30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
7:31 Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
7:32 They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
7:33 For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
7:35 And wisdom is justified of all her children.
