Verses:
Isaiah 48:17-19
Psalm 1:1-4, 6
Matthew 11:16-19
Isaiah 48:17-19
17 This is what
the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you what is best for you,
who directs you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention to my commands,
your peace would have been like a river,
your well-being like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants would have been like the sand,
your children like its numberless grains;
their name would never be blotted out
nor destroyed from before me.”
Psalm 1:1-6
1 Blessed is the
onewho does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the
wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the
righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
Matthew 11:16-19
16 “To what can I compare this generation?
They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 “‘We played the
pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating nor
drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came
eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend
of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
