Lamentations 5:1-22 ESV
[1]  Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us; look, and see our disgrace! [2]  Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners. [3] We have become orphans, fatherless; our mothers are like widows. [4] We must pay for the water we drink; the wood we get must be bought. [5]  Our pursuers are at our necks; we are weary; we are given no rest. [6] We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria, to get bread enough. [7] Our fathers sinned, and are no more; and we bear their iniquities. [8]  Slaves rule over us; there is none to deliver us from their hand. [9]  We get our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness. [10]  Our skin is hot as an oven with the burning heat of famine. [11] Women are raped in Zion, young women in the towns of Judah. [12]  Princes are hung up by their hands; no respect is shown to the elders. [13] Young men are compelled to grind at the mill, and boys stagger under loads of wood. [14]  The old men have left the city gate, the young men their music. [15]  The joy of our hearts has ceased; our dancing has been turned to mourning. [16]  The crown has fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned! [17] For this our heart has become sick, for these things our eyes have grown dim, [18] for Mount Zion which lies desolate; jackals prowl over it. [19]  But you, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures to all generations. [20]  Why do you forget us forever, why do you forsake us for so many days? [21]  Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored! Renew our days as of old— [22]  unless you have utterly rejected us, and you remain exceedingly angry with us.

Lamentations 1:1-22 ESV
[1]  How lonely sits the city that was full of people! How like a widow has she become, she who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave. [2]  She weeps bitterly in the night, with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies. [3]  Judah has gone into exile because of affliction and hard servitude; she dwells now among the nations, but finds no resting place; her pursuers have all overtaken her in the midst of her distress. [4] The roads to Zion mourn, for none come to the festival; all her gates are desolate; her priests groan; her virgins have been afflicted, and she herself suffers bitterly. [5]  Her foes have become the head; her enemies prosper, because the Lord has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; her children have gone away, captives before the foe. [6] From the daughter of Zion all her majesty has departed. Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture; they fled without strength before the pursuer. [7] Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and wandering all the precious things that were hers from days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the foe, and there was none to help her, her foes gloated over her; they mocked at her downfall. [8]  Jerusalem sinned grievously; therefore she became filthy; all who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns her face away. [9] Her uncleanness was in her skirts; she took no thought of her future; therefore her fall is terrible; she has no comforter. “O Lord, behold my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!” [10] The enemy has stretched out his hands over all her precious things; for she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, those whom you forbade to enter your congregation. [11] All her people groan as they search for bread; they trade their treasures for food to revive their strength. “Look, O Lord, and see, for I am despised.” [12] “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which was brought upon me, which the Lord inflicted on the day of his fierce anger. [13] “From on high he sent fire; into my bones he made it descend; he spread a net for my feet; he turned me back; he has left me stunned, faint all the day long. [14] “My transgressions were bound into a yoke; by his hand they were fastened together; they were set upon my neck; he caused my strength to fail; the Lord gave me into the hands of those whom I cannot withstand. [15] “The Lord rejected all my mighty men in my midst; he summoned an assembly against me to crush my young men; the Lord has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah. [16] “For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears; for a comforter is far from me, one to revive my spirit; my children are desolate, for the enemy has prevailed.” [17]  Zion stretches out her hands, but there is none to comfort her; the Lord has commanded against Jacob that his neighbors should be his foes; Jerusalem has become a filthy thing among them. [18]  “The Lord is in the right, for I have rebelled against his word; but hear, all you peoples, and see my suffering; my young women and my young men have gone into captivity. [19] “I called to my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and elders perished in the city, while they sought food to revive their strength. [20] “Look, O Lord, for I am in distress; my stomach churns; my heart is wrung within me, because I have been very rebellious. In the street the sword bereaves; in the house it is like death. [21] “They heard my groaning, yet there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it. You have brought the day you announced; now let them be as I am. [22]  “Let all their evildoing come before you, and deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my transgressions; for my groans are many, and my heart is faint.”

Jeremiah 39:1-10 ESV
[1]  In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and besieged it. [2] In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city. [3] Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers of the king of Babylon. [4] When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled, going out of the city at night by way of the king’s garden through the gate between the two walls; and they went toward the Arabah. [5] But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, at Riblah, in the land of Hamath; and he passed sentence on him. [6] The king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah at Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah. [7] He put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains to take him to Babylon. [8] The Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the house of the people, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. [9] Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried into exile to Babylon the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to him, and the people who remained. [10] Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left in the land of Judah some of the poor people who owned nothing, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

Jeremiah 31:31-40 ESV
[31]  “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a **new covenant** with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, [32] not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. [33] For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [34] And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” [35] Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord of hosts is his name: [36]  “If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.” [37] Thus says the Lord: “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the Lord.” [38]  “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when the city shall be rebuilt for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. [39] And the measuring line shall go out farther, straight to the hill Gareb, and shall then turn to Goah. [40] The whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be sacred to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever.”

Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord. [3] Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. [4] I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 17:5-10 ESV
[5] Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. [6]  He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. [7]  “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. [8]  He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” [9] **The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?** [10]  “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”  [11] Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool. [12] A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. [13] O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame; those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water.

Isaiah 53:1-12 ESV
[1]  Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? [2] For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. [3]  He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. [4]  Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. [5]  **But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities**; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. [6]  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. [7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. [8] By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? [9] And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. [10] Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. [11] Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. [12]  Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

#### He Heals the Brokenhearted

Psalm 147:1-20 ESV
[1]  Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. [2] The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. [3] He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. [4] He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. [5]  Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. [6] The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground. [7]  Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! [8] He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. [9] He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. [10] His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, [11] but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. [12] Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! [13] For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you. [14] He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. [15] He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. [16] He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes. [17] He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold? [18] He sends out his word, and melts them; **he makes his wind blow and the waters flow**. [19] He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules to Israel. [20] He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules. Praise the Lord!

[3]  Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. [4] When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. [5]  Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, [6]  who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; [7]  who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free; [8]  the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous.

[10]  The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!

#### A Song of Praise. Of David.

Psalm 145:1-21 ESV
[1]  I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. [2] Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. [3]  Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. [4]  One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. [5] On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. [6] They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. [7] They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness. [8] The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. [9] The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. [10]  All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you! [11] They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, [12] to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. [13]  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. [The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works.] [14] The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. [15] The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. [16] You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing. [17] The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. [18] **The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth**. [19] He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. [20] The Lord preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. [21] My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

#### Of David.

Psalm 144:1-15 ESV
[1] Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; [2] he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. [3] O Lord, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him? [4]  Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow. [5]  Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke! [6]  Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them! [7]  Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners, [8] whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. [9] I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you, [10] who gives victory to kings, who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword. [11] Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. [12] May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace; [13]  may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; [14] may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; may there be no cry of distress in our streets! [15]  Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! **Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!**

#### A King Will Reign in Righteousness

Isaiah 32:1-8 ESV
[1] Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. [2]  Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. [3]  Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will give attention. [4] The heart of the hasty will understand and know, and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly. [5]  The fool will no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable. [6] For the fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the Lord, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink. [7] As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil; he plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right. [8] But he who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands.
