Proverbs 3:33-35

New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

 33 The Lord puts a curse on the houses of sinners.

      But he blesses the homes of those who do what is right.

 34 He laughs at proud people who make fun of others.

      But he gives grace to those who are not proud.

 35 Wise people receive honor.

      But the Lord puts foolish people to shame.

Isaiah 26:9-11

New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

 9 My heart longs for you at night.

      My spirit longs for you in the morning.

   You will come and judge the earth.

      Then the people of the world will learn to do what is right.

 10 Grace is shown to sinful people.

      But they still don't learn to do what is right.

   They keep on doing evil even in a land where others are honest and fair.

      They don't have any respect for the majesty of the Lord.

 11 Lord, you have raised your hand high to punish them.

      But they don't even see it.

   Let them see how much you love your people.

      Then they will be put to shame.

      Let the fire you are saving for your enemies burn them up.

Jonah 2:7-9

New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

 7 "When my life was nearly over,

      I remembered you, Lord.

   My prayer rose up to you.

      It reached you in your holy temple in heaven.

 8 "Some people worship the worthless statues of their gods.

      They turn away from the grace

      you want to give them.

 9 But I will sacrifice a thank offering to you.

      And I will sing a song of thanks.

   I will do what I have promised.

      Lord, you are the one who saves."

They will sob over me as someone sobs over an only child who has died. They will be full of sorrow over me, just like someone who is full of sorrow over an oldest son.

 11 "At that time there will be a lot of crying in Jerusalem. It will sound like the sobs of the people at Hadad Rimmon over Josiah's death in the Valley of Megiddo.

John 1:15-17
