The Father everlasting, &c.
Wash you, wake you clean; put away the evil of your
doings from before Mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed;
judge the fatherless; plead for the widow:
Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord;
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as
wool.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.

from the Lord through the Angel; thou shalt conceive in thy
womb, and bring forth both God and man: that thou mayest
be blessed among all women*.
Thou shalt bring forth a son, and yet abide a virgin:
thou shalt be with child, and be a mother, yet know not a
man.
That thou mayest be blessed among women.

*Reader*.—Sir, be pleased to bless us.
The only begotten Son of God, &c.
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the
land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with
the sword, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
How is the faithful city become an harlot? It was full of
judgment; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water;
thy princes are rebellious and companions of thieves: every
one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not
the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come
unto them.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 2.
*Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the

In His time shall the righteous flourish; yes, and
abundance of peace.
And he shall have pity upon the poor.

Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty
One of Israel, Ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries, and
avenge me of Mine enemies.
And I will turn My hand upon thee, and purely purge
away thy dross, and take away all thy tin;
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy
counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be
called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her courts
with righteousness.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sin-
ners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall
be consumed.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.

in that day the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the
hills shall flow with milk, saith the Lord*.

mount of cedars.
For in that day, the mountains shall drop down new wine,
and the hills shall flow with milk, saith the Lord.
