4They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish.

5Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?

6For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders' webs.

7For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall eat it.

11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.

12I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.

13They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

3The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

9Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.

10For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?

14I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.

32And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.

33And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.

34But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.

35And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.

36And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.

37Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.

38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
