Isaiah 26:1-6
(1) In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark (2) Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter (3) The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you (4) You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever (5) For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust (6) The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent
Psalms 118:1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27
(1) Alleluia. ALEPH. Blessed are the immaculate in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord (8) I will keep your justifications. Do not utterly abandon me (9) BETH. By what does an adolescent correct his way? By keeping to your words (19) I am a sojourner on the earth. Do not hide your commandments from me (20) My soul has longed to desire your justifications at all times (21) You have rebuked the arrogant. Those who decline from your commandments are accursed (25) DALETH. My soul has adhered to the pavement. Revive me according to your word (26) I have declared my ways, and you have heeded me. Teach me your justifications (27) Instruct me in the way of your justifications, and I will be trained in your wonders
Matthew 7:21, 24-27
(21) Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven (24) Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock (25) And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock (26) And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand (27) And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.
