14 “and with the sweet increase of the Sun, and with the sweet increase of the Moon,
15 “and with the top of the ancient mountains, and with the sweetness of the old hills,
16 “and with the sweetness of the Earth, and abundance, therefore. And the goodwill of Him Who dwelt in the bush shall come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.
17 “His beauty shall be like his firstborn bullock, and his horns as the horns of a unicorn. Together with them he shall strike the people to the ends of the world. These are also the tens of thousands of Ephraim. And these are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar in your tents!
19 “They shall call the people to the mountain. There they shall offer the sacrifices of righteousness. For they shall partake of the abundance of the sea, and of the treasures hid in the sand.
20 Also of Gad he said, “Blessed is he who enlarges Gad. He dwells as a lion who catches the arm with the head for his prey.

26 There is none like God, O righteous, Who rides upon the heavens for your help, and on the clouds in His Glory.

13 There were some present at the same time who told Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answered, and said to them, “Do you suppose that because they have suffered such things, these Galileans were greater sinners than all the other Galileans?
3 “I tell you no. But unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
4 “Or do you think that those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell (and it killed them) were sinners above all men living in Jerusalem?
5 “I tell you no. But unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.”
6 He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. And he came and sought fruit from it and found none.
7 “Then he said to the dresser of his vineyard, ‘Behold, for three years I have come and sought fruit from this fig tree and found none. Cut it down! Why is it wasting ground?’
8 “And he answered, and said to him, ‘Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 ‘And if it bears fruit, well. If not, then after that cut it down.’”
10 And He taught in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath Day.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And was doubled over and could not straighten up at all.
12 When Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, “Woman, you are free from your disease.”
13 And He laid His hands on her. And immediately she was made straight again. And she glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the Synagogue answered indignantly (because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath) and said to the people, “There are six days in which we ought to work! Therefore, come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day!”
15 Then the Lord answered him, and said, “Hypocrite. Does not each one of you free his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to the water?
16 “And ought not this daughter of Abraham (whom Satan has bound, lo, eighteen years) be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
17 And when He said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. But all the people rejoiced at all the excellent things that were done by Him.
18 Then He said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? Or, to what shall I compare it?
19 “It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden. And it grew and became a great tree. And the birds of the heaven made nests in its branches.”
20 And again He said, “To what shall I liken the Kingdom of God?
21 “It is like leaven. Which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour, till it all was leavened.”
65 But the LORD awakened, as one out of sleep, as a strong man who cries out after wine,
66 and drove His enemies backwards and put them to a perpetual shame.
67 Yet, He refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 But He chose the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion, which He loved.
69 And He built His Sanctuary as a high palace, like the Earth, which He established forever.
70 He also chose David, His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.
71 Even from behind the ewes with young. He brought him to feed His people in Jacob, and His inheritance in Israel.
72 So, he fed them according to the simplicity of his heart and guided them by the discretion of his hands. A Psalm committed to Asaph
25 Heaviness in the heart of man brings it down. But a good word rejoices it.
