Jeremiah 14:17-22
(17) “You shall say this word to them: “‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound. (18) If I go out into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’” (19) Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay! (20) We acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you. (21) Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake. Do not disgrace the throne of your glory. Remember, and don’t break your covenant with us. (22) Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
Psalms 79:8-9,11,13
(8) Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need. (9) Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake. (11) Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death. (13) So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
Matthew 13:36-43
(36) Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.” (37) He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, (38) the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one. (39) The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (40) As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (41) The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, (42) and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (43) Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
