Hebrews 8,

1 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
 
2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
 
3 Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
 
4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
 
5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."
 
6 But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.
 
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
 
8 But God found fault with the people and said: "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
 
9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord.
 
10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
 
11 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
 
12 For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
 
13 By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
 

Amos 2,

1 This is what the LORD says: For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. Because he burned, as if to lime, the bones of Edom"s king,
 
2 I will send fire upon Moab that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will go down in great tumult amid war cries and the blast of the trumpet.
 
3 I will destroy her ruler and kill all her officials with him," says the LORD.
 
4 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. Because they have rejected the law of the LORD and have not kept his decrees, because they have been led astray by false gods, the gods their ancestors followed,
 
5 I will send fire upon Judah that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem."
 
6 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. They sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.
 
7 They trample on the heads of the poor as upon the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed. Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name.
 
8 They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. In the house of their god they drink wine taken as fines.
 
9 "I destroyed the Amorite before them, though he was tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
 
10 "I brought you up out of Egypt, and I led you forty years in the desert to give you the land of the Amorites.
 
11 I also raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from among your young men. Is this not true, people of Israel?" declares the LORD.
 
12 "But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
 
13 "Now then, I will crush you as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.
 
14 The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life.
 
15 The archer will not stand his ground, the fleet-footed soldier will not get away, and the horseman will not save his life.
 
16 Even the bravest warriors will flee naked on that day," declares the LORD.
 

Psalm 145

1 I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.
 
2 Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
 
3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.
 
4 One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.
 
5 They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
 
6 They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.
 
7 They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
 
8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.
 
9 The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.
 
10 All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your saints will extol you.
 
11 They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,
 
12 so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
 
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.
 
14 The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. .
 
15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.
 
16 You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
 
17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.
 
18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
 
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
 
20 The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
 
21 My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.
