21“Have pity on me. Have pity on me, you my friends,for the hand of God has touched me.22Why do you persecute me as God,and are not satisfied with my flesh?23“Oh that my words were now written!Oh that they were inscribed in a book!24That with an iron pen and leadthey were engraved in the rock forever!25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives.In the end, he will stand upon the earth.26After my skin is destroyed,then I will see God in my flesh,27whom I, even I, will see on my side.My eyes will see, and not as a stranger.“My heart is consumed within me.

7Hear, Lord, when I cry with my voice.Have mercy also on me, and answer me.8When you said, “Seek my face,”

8my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Lord.”9Don’t hide your face from me.Don’t put your servant away in anger.You have been my help.Don’t abandon me,neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

13I am still confident of this:I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.14Wait for the Lord.Be strong, and let your heart take courage.Yes, wait for the Lord.

1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus,saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

2Jesus called a little child to himself,and set him in the middle of them3and said, “Most certainly I tell you,unless you turn and become as little children,you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,· · · verses 6–9 are not read10See that you don’t despise one of these little ones,for I tell youthat in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
