1 I will exalt you, O God my King, ♦︎
and bless your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless you ♦︎
and praise your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; ♦︎
his greatness is beyond all searching out.
4 One generation shall praise your works to another ♦︎
and declare your mighty acts.
5 They shall speak of the majesty of your glory, ♦︎
and I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
6 They shall speak of the might of your marvellous acts, ♦︎
and I will also tell of your greatness.
7 They shall pour forth the story of your abundant kindness ♦︎
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, ♦︎
long-suffering and of great goodness.

13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north,
and destroy Assyria;
and he will make Nineveh a desolation,
a dry waste like the desert.
14 Herds shall lie down in it,
every wild animal;*
the desert-owl* and the screech-owl*
shall lodge on its capitals;
the owl* shall hoot at the window,
the raven* croak on the threshold;
for its cedar-work will be laid bare.
15 Is this the exultant city
that lived secure,
that said to itself,
I am, and there is no one else?
What a desolation it has become,
a lair for wild animals!
Everyone who passes by it
hisses and shakes the fist.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God. 25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, Then who can be saved? 26But Jesus looked at them and said, For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.
27 Then Peter said in reply, Look, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have? 28Jesus said to them, Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, for my names sake, will receive a hundredfold,* and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
