Isaiah 52.1-12

52 Awake, awake,    put on your strength, O Zion! Put on your beautiful garments,    O Jerusalem, the holy city; for the uncircumcised and the unclean    shall enter you no more. 2 Shake yourself from the dust, rise up,    O captive Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck,    O captive daughter Zion! 3 For thus says the Lord : You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money. 4 For thus says the Lord God : Long ago, my people went down into Egypt to reside there as aliens; the Assyrian, too, has oppressed them without cause. 5 Now therefore, what am I doing here, says the Lord , seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Their rulers howl, says the Lord , and continually, all day long, my name is despised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore on that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here am I.  7 How beautiful upon the mountains    are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news,    who announces salvation,    who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.’ 8 Listen! Your sentinels lift up their voices,    together they sing for joy; for in plain sight they see    the return of the Lord to Zion. 9 Break forth together into singing,    you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted his people,    he has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord has bared his holy arm    before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see    the salvation of our God.  11 Depart, depart, go out from there!    Touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of it, purify yourselves,    you who carry the vessels of the Lord . 12 For you shall not go out in haste,    and you shall not go in flight; for the Lord will go before you,    and the God of Israel will be your rearguard. 

Jude1

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James,To those who are called, who are beloved in God the Father and kept safe for Jesus Christ:2 May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance.3 Beloved, while eagerly preparing to write to you about the salvation we share, I find it necessary to write and appeal to you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. 4 For certain intruders have stolen in among you, people who long ago were designated for this condemnation as ungodly, who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.5 Now I desire to remind you, though you are fully informed, that the Lord, who once for all saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their own position, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains in deepest darkness for the judgement of the great day. 7 Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.8 Yet in the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, reject authority, and slander the glorious ones. 9 But when the archangel Michael contended with the devil and disputed about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a condemnation of slander against him, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you!’ 10 But these people slander whatever they do not understand, and they are destroyed by those things that, like irrational animals, they know by instinct. 11 Woe to them! For they go the way of Cain, and abandon themselves to Balaam’s error for the sake of gain, and perish in Korah’s rebellion. 12 These are blemishes on your love-feasts, while they feast with you without fear, feeding themselves. They are waterless clouds carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the deepest darkness has been reserved for ever.14 It was also about these that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, ‘See, the Lord is coming with tens of thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgement on all, and to convict everyone of all the deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.’ 16 These are grumblers and malcontents; they indulge their own lusts; they are bombastic in speech, flattering people to their own advantage.17 But you, beloved, must remember the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 for they said to you, ‘In the last time there will be scoffers, indulging their own ungodly lusts.’ 19 It is these worldly people, devoid of the Spirit, who are causing divisions. 20 But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; 21 keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on some who are wavering; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; and have mercy on still others with fear, hating even the tunic defiled by their bodies.24 Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand without blemish in the presence of his glory with rejoicing, 25 to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen.

Psalm 121

1     I lift up my eyes to the hills; •     from where is my help to come?2     My help comes from the Lord, •     the maker of heaven and earth.3     He will not suffer your foot to stumble; •     he who watches over you will not sleep.4     Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel •     shall neither slumber nor sleep.5     The Lord himself watches over you; •     the Lord is your shade at your right hand,6     So that the sun shall not strike you by day, •     neither the moon by night.7     The Lord shall keep you from all evil; •     it is he who shall keep your soul.8     The Lord shall keep watch over your going out    and your coming in, •     from this time forth for evermore.
