1For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace,and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,until her righteousness shines out like the dawn,and her salvation like a burning lamp.2The nations will see your righteousness,and all kings your glory.You will be called by a new name,which the Lord’s mouth will name.3You will also be a crown of beauty in the Lord’s hand,and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.4You will not be called Forsaken any more,nor will your land be called Desolate any more;but you will be called Hephzibah,and your land Beulah;for the Lord delights in you,and your land will be married.5For as a young man marries a virgin,so your sons will marry you.As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,so your God will rejoice over you.

1Sing to the Lord a new song!Sing to the Lord, all the earth.2Sing to the Lord!

2Bless his name!Proclaim his salvation from day to day!3Declare his glory among the nations,his marvelous works among all the peoples.

7Ascribe to the Lord, you families of nations,ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.8Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name.Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9Worship the Lord in holy array.Tremble before him, all the earth.10Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”The world is also established.It can’t be moved.He will judge the peoples with equity.

4Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.5There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.6There are various kinds of workings,but the same God who works all things in all.7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.8For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom,and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,9to another faith by the same Spirit,and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,10and to another workings of miracles,and to another prophecy,and to another discerning of spirits,to another different kinds of languages,and to another the interpretation of languages.11But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these,distributing to each one separately as he desires.

1The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee.Jesus’ mother was there.2Jesus also was invited,with his disciples, to the wedding.3When the wine ran out,Jesus’ mother said to him,“They have no wine.”

4Jesus said to her,“Woman, what does that have to do with you and me?My hour has not yet come.”

5His mother said to the servants,“Whatever he says to you, do it.”

6Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying,containing two or three metretes apiece.7Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.”So they filled them up to the brim.8He said to them, “Now draw some out,and take it to the ruler of the feast.”So they took it.9When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine,and didn’t know where it came from (but the servantswho had drawn the water knew),the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom10and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first,and when the guests have drunk freely,then that which is worse.You have kept the good wine until now!”11This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee,and revealed his glory;and his disciples believed in him.
