    Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67
     

         34   And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
         35   And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and
         herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
         36   And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that
         he hath.
         37   And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the
         Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
         38   But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
         42   And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my
         way which I go:
         43   Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw
         water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
         44   And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom
         the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
         45   And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder;
         and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
         46   And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels
         drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
         47   And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son,
         whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
         48   And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham,
         which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
         49   And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the
         right hand, or to the left.
         58   And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
         59   And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
         60   And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of
         millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
         61   And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the
         servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
         62   And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
         63   And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and,
         behold, the camels were coming.
         64   And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
         65   For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant
         had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
         66   And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
         67   And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he
         loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.


    Romans 7:15-25a
     

         15   For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate,
         that do I.
         16   If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
         17   Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
         18   For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is
         present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
         19   For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
         20   Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
         21   I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
         22   For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
         23   But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and
         bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
         24   O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
         25   I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve
         the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


    Psalm 72

         1   Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
         2   He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
         3   The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
         4   He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and
         shall break in pieces the oppressor.
         5   They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all
         generations.
         6   He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the
         earth.
         7   In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the
         moon endureth.
         8   He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of
         the earth.
         9   They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick
         the dust.
         10   The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and
         Seba shall offer gifts.
         11   Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
         12   For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no
         helper.
         13   He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
         14   He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood
         be in his sight.
         15   And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall
         be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
         16   There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the
         fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of
         the earth.
         17   His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun:
         and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
         18   Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
         19   And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with
         his glory; Amen, and Amen.
         20   The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
     
     


    Psalm 45:10-17

         10   Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own
         people, and thy father's house;
         11   So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou
         him.
         12   And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the
         people shall intreat thy favour.
         13   The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
         14   She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her
         companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
         15   With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's
         palace.
         16   Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all
         the earth.
         17   I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the
         people praise thee for ever and ever.


    Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

         16   But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the
         markets, and calling unto their fellows,
         17   And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned
         unto you, and ye have not lamented.
         18   For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
         19   The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous,
         and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her
         children.
         25   At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and
         earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
         revealed them unto babes.
         26   Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
         27   All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but
         the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever
         the Son will reveal him.
         28   Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
         29   Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye
         shall find rest unto your souls.
         30   For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
