Deuteronomy 34

34:1 Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. Yahweh showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,
34:2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the hinder sea,
34:3 and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, to Zoar.
34:4 Yahweh said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your seed.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.”
34:5 So Moses the servant of Yahweh died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Yahweh.
34:6 He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth Peor: but no man knows of his tomb to this day.
34:7 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
34:8 The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.
34:9 Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands on him: and the children of Israel listened to him, and did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
34:10 There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face,
34:11 in all the signs and the wonders, which Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
34:12 and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses worked in the sight of all Israel.

Psalm 115:1-13

115:1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
115:2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
115:3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
115:5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
115:6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
115:7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
115:8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
115:9 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
115:13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

Luke 12:1-12

12:1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
12:2 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
12:3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
12:4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
12:5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
12:6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
12:8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
12:9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
12:10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
12:11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
