Psalm 95

¹O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
²Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
³For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
⁴In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
⁵The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
⁶O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
⁷For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
⁸Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
⁹When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
¹⁰Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
¹¹Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Psalm 79

¹O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
²The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
³Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
⁴We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
⁵How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
⁶Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
⁸O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
¹⁰Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
¹²And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
¹³So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

42Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
²And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
³And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
⁴But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
⁵And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
⁶And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
⁷And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
⁸And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
⁹And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
¹⁰And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
¹¹We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
¹²And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
¹³And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
¹⁴And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
¹⁵Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
¹⁶Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
¹⁷And he put them all together into ward three days.
¹⁸And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
¹⁹If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
²⁰But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
²¹And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
²²And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
²³And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
²⁴And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
²⁵Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
²⁶And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
²⁹And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
³⁵And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
³⁶And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
³⁷And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
³⁸And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

¹⁷Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
¹⁸For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
¹⁹For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
²⁰When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
²¹For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
²²What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
²³For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
²⁴And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
²⁵After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
²⁶For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
²⁷Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
²⁸But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
²⁹For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
³⁰For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
³¹For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
³²But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
³³Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
³⁴And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
