Sirach 4:11-19
Wisdom instructs her children
and admonishes those who seek her.
He who loves her loves life;
those who seek her out win her favor.
He who holds her fast inherits glory;
wherever he dwells, the Lord bestows blessings.
Those who serve her serve the Holy One;
those who love her the Lord loves.
He who obeys her judges nations;
he who hearkens to her dwells in her inmost chambers.
If one trusts her, he will possess her;
his descendants too will inherit her.
She walks with him as a stranger,
and at first she puts him to the test;
Fear and dread she brings upon him
and tries him with her discipline;
With her precepts she puts him to the proof,
until his heart is fully with her.
Then she comes back to bring him happiness
and reveal her secrets to him.
But if he fails her, she will abandon him
and deliver him into the hands of despoilers.

Sirach 4:11-19
Wisdom teaches her children
and admonishes all who can understand her.
Those who love her love life;
those who seek her out win the LORD’s favor.
Those who hold her fast will attain glory,
and they shall abide in the blessing of the LORD.
Those who serve her serve the Holy One;
those who love her the Lord loves.

“Whoever obeys me will judge nations;
whoever listens to me will dwell in my inmost chambers.
If they remain faithful, they will possess me;
their descendants too will inherit me.

“I will walk with them in disguise,
and at first I will test them with trials.
Fear and dread I will bring upon them
and I will discipline them with my constraints.
When their hearts are fully with me,
then I will set them again on the straight path
and reveal my secrets to them.
But if they turn away from me, I will abandon them
and deliver them over to robbers.”

Sirach 51:1-4a
I give you thanks, O God of my father;
I praise you, O God my savior!
I will make known your name, refuge of my life;
you have been my helper against my adversaries.
You have saved me from death,
and kept back my body from the pit,
From the clutches of the nether world you have snatched my feet;
you have delivered me, in your great mercy
From the scourge of a slanderous tongue,
and from lips that went over to falsehood;
From the snare of those who watched for my downfall,
and from the power of those who sought my life;
From many a danger you have saved me,
from flames that hemmed me in on every side.

Sirach 51: 1-4a
I give you thanks, LORD and King,
I praise you, God my savior!
I declare your name, refuge of my life,
because you have ransomed my life from death;
You held back my body from the pit,
and delivered my foot from the power of Sheol.

You have preserved me from the scourge of the slanderous tongue,
and from the lips of those who went over to falsehood.
You were with me against those who rise up against me;
You have rescued me according to your abundant mercy
From the snare of those who look for my downfall,
and from the power of those who seek my life.

From many dangers you have saved me,
from flames that beset me on every side.

Joel 3:1-5
Then afterward I will pour out
my spirit upon all mankind.
Your sons and daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions;
Even upon the servants and the handmaids,
in those days, I will pour out my spirit.

And I will work wonders in the heavens and on the earth,
blood, fire, and columns of smoke;
The sun will be turned to darkness,
and the moon to blood,
At the coming of the Day of the Lord,
the great and terrible day.
Then everyone shall be rescued
who calls on the name of the Lord;
For on Mount Zion there shall be a remnant,
as the Lord has said,
And in Jerusalem survivors
whom the Lord shall call.

The sun will darken,
the moon turn blood-red,.
Before the day of the LORD arrives,
that great and terrible day.
Then everyone who calls upon the name of the LORD
will escape harm.
For on Mount Zion there will be a remnant,
as the LORD has said,
And in Jerusalem survivors
whom the LORD will summon.
