Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage,

And the people imagine a vain thing?

²  The kings of the earth set themselves,

And the rulers take counsel together,

Against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

³  Let us break their bands asunder,

And cast away their cords from us.

⁴  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:

The Lord shall ⁱhave them in derision.

⁵  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,

And vex them in his sore displeasure.

⁶  Yet have I set my king

Upon my holy hill of Zion.

⁷  I will declare the decree:

The Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;

This day have I begotten thee.

⁸  Ask of me,

And I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,

And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

⁹  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;

Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

¹⁰  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:

Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

¹¹  Serve the Lord with fear,

And rejoice with trembling.

¹²  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,

And ye perish from the way,

When his wrath is kindled but a little.

Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Ezekiel 28:1-19

The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, ² Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: ³ Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: ^4 jWith thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: ⁵ By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and ^mthine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: ⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; ⁷ Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, ^pthe terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. ⁸ They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. ⁹ Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. ¹⁰ Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

¹¹ Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ¹² Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. ¹³ Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, ^ztopaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. ¹⁴ Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. ¹⁵ Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. ¹⁶ By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. ¹⁷ Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. ¹⁸ Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. ¹⁹ All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Job 38:1-7

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

²  Who is this that darkeneth counsel

By words without knowledge?

³  Gird up now thy loins like a man;

For I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

⁴  Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Declare, if thou hast understanding.

⁵  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?

Or who hath stretched the line upon it?

⁶  Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?

Or who laid the corner stone thereof;

⁷  When the morning stars sang together,

And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
