25The Lord came down in the cloud,and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him,and put it on the seventy elders.When the Spirit rested on them,they prophesied, but they did so no more.26But two men remained in the camp.The name of one was Eldad,and the name of the other Medad;and the Spirit rested on them.They were of those who were written,but had not gone out to the Tent;and they prophesied in the camp.27A young man ran, and told Moses,and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”

28Joshua the son of Nun,the servant of Moses,one of his chosen men,answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”

29Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake?I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets,that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”

8The Lord’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.The Lord’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

10The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.The Lord’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

12Moreover your servant is warned by them.In keeping them there is great reward.13Who can discern his errors?Forgive me from hidden errors.

14Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.Let them not have dominion over me.Then I will be upright.I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

1Come now, you rich,weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.2Your riches are corruptedand your garments are moth-eaten.3Your gold and your silver are corroded,and their corrosion will be for a testimony against youand will eat your flesh like fire.You have laid up your treasure in the last days.4Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields,which you have kept back by fraud, cry out;and the cries of thosewho reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.5You have lived in luxury on the earth,and taken your pleasure.You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.6You have condemnedand you have murdered the righteous one.He doesn’t resist you.

38John said to him, “Teacher,we saw someonewho doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name;and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

39But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him,for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my nameand be able quickly to speak evil of me.40For whoever is not against us is on our side.41For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my namebecause you are Christ’s,most certainly I tell you,he will in no way lose his reward.

42“Whoever will cause one of these little oneswho believe in me to stumble,it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.43If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off.It is better for you to enter into life maimed,rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna,into the unquenchable fire,45If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off.It is better for you to enter into life lame,rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna,into the fire that will never be quenched—47If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out.It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye,rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,48‘where their worm doesn’t die,and the fire is not quenched.’
