Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 19 (24)
Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28
4:11 At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: A
hot wind comes from me out of the bare heights in the desert toward my
poor people, not to winnow or cleanse--
4:12 a wind too strong for that. Now it is I who speak in judgment against them.
4:22 "For my people are foolish, they do not know me; they are stupid
children, they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil,
but do not know how to do good."
4:23 I looked on the earth, and lo, it was waste and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light.
4:24 I looked on the mountains, and lo, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro.
4:25 I looked, and lo, there was no one at all, and all the birds of the air had fled.
4:26 I looked, and lo, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its
cities were laid in ruins before the LORD, before his fierce anger.
4:27 For thus says the LORD: The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
4:28 Because of this the earth shall mourn, and the heavens above grow
black; for I have spoken, I have purposed; I have not relented nor will
I turn back.
Exodus 32:7-14
32:7 The LORD said to Moses, "Go down at once! Your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have acted perversely;
32:8 they have been quick to turn aside from the way that I commanded
them; they have cast for themselves an image of a calf, and have
worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, O
Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!'"
32:9 The LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, how stiff-necked they are.
32:10 Now let me alone, so that my wrath may burn hot against them and
I may consume them; and of you I will make a great nation."
32:11 But Moses implored the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD, why does
your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you brought out of the
land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
32:12 Why should the Egyptians say, 'It was with evil intent that he
brought them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them
from the face of the earth'? Turn from your fierce wrath; change your
mind and do not bring disaster on your people.
32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, how you swore
to them by your own self, saying to them, 'I will multiply your
descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have
promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it
forever.'"
32:14 And the LORD changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to bring on his people.
1 Timothy 1:12-17
1:12 I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me,
because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service,
1:13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man
of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in
unbelief,
1:14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
1:15 The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the foremost.
1:16 But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the
foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience, making me an
example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life.
1:17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Luke 15:1-10
15:1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.
15:2 And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them."
15:3 So he told them this parable:
15:4 "Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them,
does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one
that is lost until he finds it?
15:5 When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices.
15:6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and
neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep
that was lost.'
15:7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no
repentance.
15:8 "Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them,
does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she
finds it?
15:9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and
neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I
had lost.'
15:10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
