The Book of MICAH - Chapter One

THE BOOK OF MICAH

Chapter One

1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah of  Moresheth during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah – the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

2 

Hear, you peoples, all of you,

    listen, earth and all who live in it,

that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness against you,

    the Lord from his holy temple.

3 

Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling-place;

    he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.

4 

The mountains melt beneath him

    and the valleys split apart,

like wax before the fire,

    like water rushing down a slope.

5 

All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,

    because of the sins of the people of Israel.

What is Jacob’s transgression?

    Is it not Samaria?

What is Judah’s high place?

    Is it not Jerusalem?

6 

‘Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,

    a place for planting vineyards.

I will pour her stones into the valley

    and lay bare her foundations.

7 

All her idols will be broken to pieces;

    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;

    I will destroy all her images.

Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,

    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.’

8 

Because of this I will weep and wail;

    I will go about barefoot and naked.

I will howl like a jackal

    and moan like an owl.

9 

For Samaria’s plague is incurable;

    it has spread to Judah.

It has reached the very gate of my people,

    even to Jerusalem itself.

10 

Tell it not in Gath;

    weep not at all.

In Beth Ophrah

    roll in the dust.

11 

Pass by naked and in shame,

    you who live in Shaphir.

Those who live in Zaanan

    will not come out.

Beth Ezel is in mourning;

    it no longer protects you.

12 

Those who live in Maroth writhe in pain,

    waiting for relief,

because disaster has come from the Lord,

    even to the gate of Jerusalem.

13 

You who live in Lachish,

    harness fast horses to the chariot.

You are where the sin of Daughter Zion began,

    for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

14 

Therefore you will give parting gifts

    to Moresheth Gath.

The town of Akzib will prove deceptive

    to the kings of Israel.

15 

I will bring a conqueror against you

    who live in Mareshah.

The nobles of Israel

    will flee to Adullam.

16 

Shave your head in mourning

    for the children in whom you delight;

make yourself as bald as the vulture,

    for they will go from you into exile.

The Letter of Paul to the GALATIANS - Chapter Six

 

 The Letter of Paul to The

GALATIANS

Chapter Six

1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!

12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule – to the Israel of God.

17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
