Jeremiah 31:12-14

12They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
kand they shall be radiant lover the goodness of the Lord,
mover the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
ntheir life shall be like a watered garden,
oand they shall languish no more.
13 pThen shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
qI will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
14 rI will feast the soul of the priests with abundance,
and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,

declares the Lord.”

Matthew 22:2-14

2 t“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave ua wedding feast for his son, 3and vsent his servants
Greek bondservants; also verses 4, 6, 8, 10
to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
4 xAgain he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my ydinner, zmy oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5But aathey paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6while the rest seized his servants, abtreated them shamefully, and ackilled them. 7The king was angry, and he sent his troops and addestroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not aeworthy. 9Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10And those servants went out into the roads and afgathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there aga man who had no wedding garment. 12And he said to him, ahFriend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and aicast him into the outer darkness. In that place ajthere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14For many are akcalled, but few are alchosen.”
