Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?

and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink.

They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

“Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”

Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written,
“Therefore I will give praise to You among the Gentiles,
And I will sing to Your name.”

saying,
“I will proclaim Your name to My brethren,
In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.”

Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.

And they *sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

And they *sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth.

Then He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God.

And they *sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
“Great and marvelous are Your works,
O Lord God, the Almighty;
Righteous and true are Your ways,
King of the nations!
