1st Scripture Reading – Jeremiah 17:5-10

5 Thus says the Lord:
Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals
and make mere flesh their strength,
whose hearts turn away from the Lord.
6 They shall be like a shrub in the desert
and shall not see when relief comes.
They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.
7 Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
8 They shall be like a tree planted by water,
sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
and it does not cease to bear fruit.
9 The heart is devious above all else;
it is perverse—
who can understand it?
10
I the Lord test the mind
and search the heart,
to give to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their doings.

2nd Scripture Reading – Luke 6:17-26

Jesus Teaches and Heals
17He came down with them and stood on a level place with a great crowd of his disciples and a
great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They
had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled with
unclean spirits were cured. 19And everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, for power
came out from him and healed all of them.
Blessings and Woes
20 Then he looked up at his disciples and said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now,
for you will be filled.
“Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame
you on account of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward
is great in heaven, for that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
24 “But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
25 “Woe to you who are full now,
for you will be hungry.
“Woe to you who are laughing now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 “Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false
prophets.
