Psalm 26:1-8

Psalm 26

Of David.

1 Vindicate me,(A) Lord,
    for I have led a blameless life;(B)
I have trusted(C) in the Lord
    and have not faltered.(D)
2 Test me,(E) Lord, and try me,
    examine my heart and my mind;(F)
3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love(G)
    and have lived(H) in reliance on your faithfulness.(I)

4 I do not sit(J) with the deceitful,
    nor do I associate with hypocrites.(K)
5 I abhor(L) the assembly of evildoers
    and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence,(M)
    and go about your altar, Lord,
7 proclaiming aloud your praise(N)
    and telling of all your wonderful deeds.(O)

8 Lord, I love(P) the house where you live,
    the place where your glory dwells.(Q)

Jeremiah 15:1-9

15 Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses(A) and Samuel(B) were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people.(C) Send them away from my presence!(D) Let them go! 2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says:

“‘Those destined for death, to death;
those for the sword, to the sword;(E)
those for starvation, to starvation;(F)
those for captivity, to captivity.’(G)

3 “I will send four kinds of destroyers(H) against them,” declares the Lord, “the sword(I) to kill and the dogs(J) to drag away and the birds(K) and the wild animals to devour and destroy.(L) 4 I will make them abhorrent(M) to all the kingdoms of the earth(N) because of what Manasseh(O) son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.

5 “Who will have pity(P) on you, Jerusalem?
    Who will mourn for you?
    Who will stop to ask how you are?
6 You have rejected(Q) me,” declares the Lord.
    “You keep on backsliding.
So I will reach out(R) and destroy you;
    I am tired of holding back.(S)
7 I will winnow(T) them with a winnowing fork
    at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement(U) and destruction on my people,(V)
    for they have not changed their ways.(W)
8 I will make their widows(X) more numerous
    than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(Y)
    against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
    anguish and terror.(Z)
9 The mother of seven will grow faint(AA)
    and breathe her last.(AB)
Her sun will set while it is still day;
    she will be disgraced(AC) and humiliated.
I will put the survivors to the sword(AD)
    before their enemies,”(AE)
declares the Lord.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back(A) will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed,(B) whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth(C) and destroy by the splendor of his coming.(D) 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan(E) works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders(F) that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.(G) They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.(H) 11 For this reason God sends them(I) a powerful delusion(J) so that they will believe the lie(K) 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.(L)
