Jesus said to Simon: I have something to tell you. He replied: What teacher? A certain lender had two debtors. One owed five hundred shillings and the other fifty. They did not have money to pay the debt so he forgave them both. Which of them did he love the most? read more.
Simon answered: I suppose it was the one whom he forgave the most. Jesus said: Your judgment is correct. Turning to the woman, he said to Simon: See this woman? I entered into your house and you gave me no water for my feet. She watered my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. You did not kiss me. Since the time I came in she has not ceased kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil. She anointed my feet with ointment. She loved much! She has many sins and they are forgiven. When little is forgiven, little love is shown. He said to her: Your sins are forgiven!

Jesus perceived what they wanted to ask him. He said to them: You inquire among yourselves concerning what I said. A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me? Truly I tell you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. A woman in tribulation has sorrow, because her hour to give birth has come. When she delivers the child, she remembers no more anguish, because of the joy that a man is born into the world. read more.
You have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your heart will rejoice and no one can take your joy from you. You will ask me for nothing then. Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name. Until now you have not asked a single thing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full. I have spoken to you in figurative language (illustrations and proverbs). The hour comes when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language. I will tell you plainly from the Father. In that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you. It will not be necessary. The Father loves you, because you loved me, and believed that I came from the Father.

On the other hand a man may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in his bones. His very being finds food repulsive and he loathes the choicest meal. His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his bones, once hidden, now stick out. read more.
He draws near to the pit and to the messengers of death. Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him, to be gracious to him and say: 'Spare him from going down to the pit. I have found a ransom for him!' His flesh is renewed like a child's. It is restored as in the days of his youth. He prays to God and finds favor with him. He sees God's face and shouts for joy! God restores him to his righteous state.


([Prayer of Moses]) O Jehovah, you have been our refuge throughout every generation.

You, O Jehovah, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home.



Wisdom calls you! She raises her voice in the streets and marketplaces. She calls in the streets, in the opening of the gates: in the city she utters her words. She says: How long, you simple (stupid) (foolish) ones, will you love simplicity (foolishness) (stupidity)? The scoffers delight in scoffing. Fools hate knowledge! read more.
Listen when I reprove you. I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make my words known to you. I called you! I stretched out my hand to you. You paid no attention to me. You have ignored all my counsel. You accept no correction. I also will laugh at your trouble. I will mock when your fear comes. Trouble and distress will surround you like a whirlwind, like a great storm. You will ask for my help, but I will not listen. You will search, but you will not find me. You have no use for knowledge and you refuse to respect Jehovah. You rejected my advice and paid no attention when I warned you. Now you will get what you deserve for what you have done. Your own advice will make you sick. Sin and self-satisfaction bring destruction and death to stupid fools. Whoever listens to me will be secure and will be free from the fear of evil.


As for me, I would seek God's help and present my case to him. He does great things that we cannot understand and miracles that we cannot count. He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields. read more.
He sets on high the lowly people. He lifts those who mourn to safety.

You must not wrong one another. You shall respect your God. I am Jehovah your God. You must observe my statutes and keep my judgments, so as to carry them out. That way you may live securely on the land.

Do not make idols or set up statues, stone pillars, or carved stones to worship. I am Jehovah your God! Keep the religious festivals and honor the place where I am worshiped. I am Jehovah. If you live according to my laws and obey my commands, read more.
I will send you rain at the proper time. Then the land will produce crops and the trees will bear fruit. Your crops will be so plentiful that you will still be harvesting grain when it is time to pick grapes. You will still be picking grapes when it is time to plant grain. You will have all you want to eat and you will live in safety in your land.

But God says to the wicked: How dare you quote my decrees and mouth my covenant! You hate discipline. You cast (throw) my words behind you. When you see a thief, you make friends with him. You keep company with people who commit adultery. read more.
You let your mouth speak evil. Your tongue plans deceit. You sit and talk against your own brother. You slander your own mother's son. When you did these things, I remained silent. That made you think I was like you. I will argue my point with you and lay it all out for you to see. Consider this, you who do not remember God. Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to deliver. Whoever offers thanks as a sacrifice honors me. I will let everyone who continues in my way see the salvation that comes from God.
