Proverbs 9:1-3

Isaiah 49:1-6

The Servant of the Lord

1 Listen to me, ^lO coastlands,
and give attention, you peoples ^mfrom afar.
ⁿThe Lord called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name.
2 ^oHe made my mouth like a sharp sword;
^pin the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me a polished arrow;
in his quiver he hid me away.
3 And he said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, ^qin whom I will be glorified.” ^{▼▼Or I will display my beauty}
4 ^sBut I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
and my recompense with my God.”
5 ^tAnd now the Lord says,
he ^uwho formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for ^vI am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
^wI will make you ^xas a light for the nations,
that ^ymy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

Isaiah 55:1-3

The Compassion of the Lord

1 ^z“Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
^aacome, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 ^abWhy do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
^achear, that your soul may live;
^adand I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
^aemy steadfast, sure love for ^afDavid.

Matthew 3:3

3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,

^ag“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
^ah‘Prepare ^{▼▼Or crying: Prepare in the wilderness} the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.’”

Matthew 4:17

17 ^ajFrom that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ^ak“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 28:19-20

19 ^alGo therefore and ^ammake disciples of ^anall nations, ^aobaptizing them ^apin ^{▼▼Or into} ^arthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them ^asto observe all that ^atI have commanded you. And behold, ^auI am with you always, to ^avthe end of the age.”
