Old Testament Reading
The reading is from Isaiah 14:24-32
The LORD of hosts has sworn: "As I have planned, so shall it be,
and as I have purposed, so shall it stand, that I will break the
Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains trample him under foot; and his
yoke shall depart from them, and his burden from their shoulder."
This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth; and
this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. For the
LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is
stretched out, and who will turn it back? In the year that King Ahaz died
came this oracle: "Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you, that the rod
which smote you is broken, for from the serpent's root will come forth
an adder, and its fruit will be a flying serpent. And the
first-born of the poor will feed, and the needy lie down in safety; but I
will kill your root with famine, and your remnant I will slay. Wail,
O gate; cry, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For
smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks."
What will one answer the messengers of the nation? "The LORD has
founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge."

Old Testament Reading
The reading is from Genesis 8:21-9:7
And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his
heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the
imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again
destroy every living creature as I have done. While the earth remains,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night,
shall not cease."
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and
multiply, and fill the earth. The fear of you and the dread of you shall
be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air,
upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea;
into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives
shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you
everything. Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
For your lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning; of every beast
I will require it and of man; of every man's brother I will require
the life of man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his
blood be shed; for God made man in his own image. And you, be fruitful
and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in
it."

Old Testament Reading
The reading is from Proverbs 11:19-12:6
He who is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues
evil will die. Men of perverse mind are an abomination to the LORD,
but those of blameless ways are his delight. Be assured, an evil man
will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will be delivered.
Like a gold ring in a swine's snout is a beautiful woman without
discretion. The desire of the righteous ends only in good; the expectation
of the wicked in wrath. One man gives freely, yet grows all the
richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. A
liberal man will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on
the head of him who sells it. He who diligently seeks good seeks
favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it. He who trusts in his
riches will wither, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
He who troubles his household will inherit wind, and the fool will
be servant to the wise. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of
life, but lawlessness takes away lives. If the righteous is requited
on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner! Whoever loves
discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. A good man
obtains favor from the LORD, but a man of evil devices he condemns. A
man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous
will never be moved. A good wife is the crown of her husband, but she
who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of
the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are treacherous.
The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the
upright delivers men.
