Luke 16:19–17:10

19
 
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20
 
and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21
 
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22
 
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23
 
and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24
 
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25
 
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26
 
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that
would come
from thence.

27
 
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28
 
for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29
 
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30
 
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31
 
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

17:
1
 Then said he unto the disciples,
It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe
unto him,
through whom they come!
2
 
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3
 
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4
 
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

5
 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6
 And the Lord said,
If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7
 
But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8
 
And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9
 
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10
 
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

Psalm 83:1-18

A Song
or
Psalm of Asaph.

1
 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2
 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3
 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4
 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from
being
a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5
 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6
 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7
 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8
 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9
 Do unto them as
unto
the Midianites; as
to
Sisera, as
to
Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10
 
Which
perished at En-dor: they became
as
dung for the earth.

11
 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12
 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13
 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14
 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15
 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16
 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O L
ORD
.

17
 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18
 That
men
may know that thou, whose name alone
is
JEHOVAH,
art
the most high over all the earth.

Proverbs 13:4

4
 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and
hath
nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Luke 17:11-37

Psalm 84:1-12

Proverbs 13:5-6

Joshua 11:1–12:24

1
 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard
those things,
that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2
 and to the kings that
were
on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
3
 
and to
the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and
to
the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and
to
the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
4
 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that
is
upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5
 And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

6
 And the L
ORD
said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
7
 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8
 And the L
ORD
delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
9
 And Joshua did unto them as the L
ORD
bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

10
 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
11
 And they smote all the souls that
were
therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying
them:
there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

12
 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword,
and
he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the L
ORD
commanded.
13
 But
as for
the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only;
that
did Joshua burn.
14
 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
15
 As the L
ORD
commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the L
ORD
commanded Moses.

16
 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
17
 
even
from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
18
 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19
 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all
other
they took in battle.
20
 For it was of the L
ORD
to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly,
and
that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the L
ORD
commanded Moses.

21
 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22
 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.

23
 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the L
ORD
said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

12:
1
 Now these
are
the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
2
 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon,
and
ruled from Aroer, which
is
upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok,
which is
the border of the children of Ammon;
3
 and from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain,
even
the salt sea on the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdoth-pisgah:
4
 and the coast of Og king of Bashan,
which was
of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5
 and reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

6
 Them did Moses the servant of the L
ORD
and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the L
ORD
gave it
for
a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

7
 And these
are
the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel
for
a possession according to their divisions;
8
 in the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
9
 the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which
is
beside Bethel, one;
10
 the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
11
 the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
12
 the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
13
 the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
14
 the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
15
 the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
16
 the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;
17
 the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
18
 the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;
19
 the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
20
 the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
21
 the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
22
 the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one;
23
 the king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one;
24
 the king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.
