\nIsa 50:5-10<\/em>
\nThe Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back. I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me. The Lord God is my helper, therefore am I not confounded: therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be confounded. He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me? let us stand together, who is my adversary? let him come near to me. Behold the Lord God is my helper: who is he that shall condemn me? Lo, they shall all be destroyed as a garment, the moth shall eat them up. Who is there among you that feareth the Lord, that heareth the voice of his servant, that hath walked in darkness, and hath no light? let him hope in the name of the Lord, and lean upon his God.<\/p>\n
\nJer 11:18-20<\/em>
\nBut thou, O Lord, hast shewn me, and I have known: then thou shewedst me their doings. And I was as a meek lamb, that is carried to be a victim: and I knew not that they had devised counsels against me, saying: Let us put wood on his bread, and cut him off from the land of the living, and let his name be remembered no more. But thou, O Lord of Sabaoth, who judgest justly, and triest the reins and hearts, let me see thy revenge on them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.<\/p>\n
\nIsa 63:1-7<\/em>
\nThus sayeth the Lord God: telleth the daughter of Sion: Behold thy Saviour cometh; behold His reward is with Him and His work before Him. Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength. I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save. Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress? I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel. For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come. I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me. And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth. I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us.<\/p>\n
\n1 Cor 11:20-32.<\/em>
\nBrethren, When you come therefore into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord’s supper. For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is My Body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of Me. In like manner also the chalice, after He had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in My Blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of Me. For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until He come. Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and the Blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself; and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the Body of the Lord. Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep. But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.<\/p>\n
\nOsee 6:1-6<\/em>
\nThus saith the Lord: In their affliction they will rise early to Me: Come, and let us return to the Lord, for He hath taken us, and He will heal us, He will strike, and He will cure us. He will revive us after two days: on the third day He will raise us up and we shall live in His sight. We shall know and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light and He will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth. What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, O Juda? Your mercy is as a morning cloud and as the dew that goeth away in the morning. For this reason have I hewed them by the Prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgements shall go forth as the light. For I desired mercy and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.<\/p>\n
\n\u2123. In the midst of two animals Thou shalt be made known: when the years shall draw nigh Thou shalt be known: when the time shall come, Thou shalt be manifested.
\n\u2123. When my soul shall be in trouble, Thou wilt remember mercy, even in Thy wrath.
\n\u2123. God will come from Libanus, and the Holy One from the shady and thickly covered mountain.
\n\u2123. His majesty covered the heavens: and the earth is full of His praise.<\/p>\n
\nResponsorium<\/em>
\nPs 139:2-10, 14<\/em>
\nDeliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
\n\u2123. Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
\n\u2123. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; the venom of asps is under their lips.
\n\u2123. Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me.
\n\u2123. Who have proposed to supplant my steps. The proud have hidden a net for me.
\n\u2123. And they have stretched out cords for a snare for my feet; they have laid for me a stumbling-block by the wayside.
\n\u2123. I said to the Lord: Thou art my God. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
\n\u2123. O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: overshadow my head in the day of battle.
\n\u2123. Give me not up from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me. Do not Thou forsake me, lest at any time they should triumph.
\n\u2123. The head of them compassing me about: the labor of their lips shall overwhelm them.
\n\u2123. But the just shall give glory to Thy Name: and the upright shall dwell with Thy countenance.<\/p>\n
