6In this mountain, the Lord of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat,a feast of choice wines,of choice meat full of marrow,of well refined choice wines.7He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the coveringthat covers all peoples,and the veil that is spread over all nations.8He has swallowed up death forever!The Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces.He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth,for the Lord has spoken it.

9It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God!We have waited for him, and he will save us!This is the Lord!We have waited for him.We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”10For the Lord’s hand will rest in this mountain.

Moab will be trodden down in his place,even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.

1The Lord is my shepherd;I shall lack nothing.2He makes me lie down in green pastures.He leads me beside still waters.3He restores my soul.

3He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for you are with me.Your rod and your staff,they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil.My cup runs over.

6Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever.

12I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound.In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry,both to abound and to be in need.13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.14However you did well that you shared in my affliction.· · · verses 15–18 are not read19My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.20Now to our Godand Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

1Jesus answeredand spoke to them again in parables, saying,2“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king,who made a wedding feast for his son,3and sent out his servants to call thosewho were invited to the wedding feast,but they would not come.4Again he sent out other servants,saying, ‘Tell those who are invited,“Behold, I have prepared my dinner.My cattle and my fatlings are killed,and all things are ready.Come to the wedding feast!”’5But they made light of it,and went their ways,one to his own farm,another to his merchandise;6and the rest grabbed his servants,treated them shamefully, and killed them.7When the king heard that,he was angry, and sent his armies,destroyed those murderers,and burned their city.

8“Then he said to his servants,‘The wedding is ready,but those who were invited weren’t worthy.9Go therefore to the intersections of the highways,and as many as you may find,invite to the wedding feast.’10Those servants went out into the highwaysand gathered together as many as they found,both bad and good.The wedding was filled with guests.

11“But when the king came in to see the guests,he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,12and he said to him,‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’He was speechless.13Then the king said to the servants,‘Bind him hand and foot,take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness.That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’14For many are called, but few chosen.”
