 3And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

 53Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

 54To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.

 56According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few.

Psalm 69

 1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

 2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

 3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

 4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

 5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

 6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

 7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

 8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

 9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

 10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

 11I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

 12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

 13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

 14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

 15Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

 16Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

 17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

 18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

 19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

 20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

 21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

 22Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

 23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

 24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

 25Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

 26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

 27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

 28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

 29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

 30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

 31This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

 32The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

 33For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

 34Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

 35For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

 36The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Isaiah 16

 1Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

 2For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

 3Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

 4Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

 5And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

 6We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

 7Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

 8For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

 9Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

 10And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

 11Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.

 12And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

 13This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

 14But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.

1 Peter 4

 1Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

 2That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

 3For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

 4Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

 5Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

 6For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

 7But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

 8And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

 9Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

 10As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

 11If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

 13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

 14If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

 16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

 17For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

 18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

 19Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
