Jeremiah 8:18-9:1 New International Version (NIV)
18 You who are my Comforter in
sorrow,
my heart is faint within me.
19 Listen to the cry of my people
from a land far away:
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
Is her King no longer there?”
my heart is faint within me.
19 Listen to the cry of my people
from a land far away:
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
Is her King no longer there?”
“Why have they
aroused my anger with their images,
with their worthless foreign idols?”
with their worthless foreign idols?”
20 “The harvest is past,
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved.”
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved.”
21 Since my people are crushed, I am
crushed;
I mourn, and horror grips me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no healing
for the wound of my people?
I mourn, and horror grips me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no healing
for the wound of my people?
1 Oh, that my head were a spring of
water
and my eyes a fountain of tears!
I would weep day and night
for the slain of my people.
and my eyes a fountain of tears!
I would weep day and night
for the slain of my people.
1 Timothy 2:1-7 New International Version (NIV)
Instructions
on Worship
1 I
urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and
thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may
live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a
knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is
one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This
has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And
for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the
truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
