¹⁶ You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed. ¹⁷ You have seen their detestable things, the filthy idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, that were among them. ¹⁸ It may be that there is among you a man or woman, or a family or tribe, whose heart is already turning away from the LORD our God to serve the gods of those nations. It may be that there is among you a root sprouting poisonous and bitter growth. ¹⁹ All who hear the words of this oath and bless themselves, thinking in their hearts, "We are safe even though we go our own stubborn ways" (thus bringing disaster on moist and dry alike) - ²⁰ the LORD will be unwilling to pardon them, for the Lord's anger and passion will smoke against them. All the curses written in this book will descend on them, and the LORD will blot out their names from under heaven. ²¹ The LORD will single them out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law. ²² The next generation, your children who rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who comes from a distant country, will see the devastation of that land and the afflictions with which the LORD has afflicted it - ²³ all its soil burned out by sulfur and salt, nothing planted, nothing sprouting, unable to support any vegetation, like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD destroyed in his fierce anger - ²⁴ they and indeed all the nations will wonder, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land? What caused this great display of anger?" ²⁵ They will conclude, "It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. ²⁶ They turned and served other gods, worshiping them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them; ²⁷ so the anger of the LORD was kindled against that land, bringing on it every curse written in this book. ²⁸ The LORD uprooted them from their land in anger, fury, and great wrath, and cast them into another land, as is now the case." ²⁹ The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things belong to us and to our children forever, to observe all the words of this law.

¹ A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. ² She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pangs, in the agony of giving birth. ³ Then another portent appeared in heaven: a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. ⁴ His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born. ⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. But her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne; ⁶ and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that there she can be nourished for one thousand two hundred sixty days.

⁷ And war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, ⁸ but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. ⁹ The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world - he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

¹⁰ Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. ¹¹ But they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not cling to life even in the face of death. ¹² Rejoice then, you heavens and those who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"

²⁹After Jesus had left that place, he passed along the Sea of Galilee, and he went up the mountain, where he sat down. ³⁰Great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the mute, and many others. They put them at his feet, and he cured them, ³¹so that the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.

³²Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way." ³³The disciples said to him, "Where are we to get enough bread in the desert to feed so great a crowd?" ³⁴Jesus asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish." ³⁵Then ordering the crowd to sit down on the ground, ³⁶he took the seven loaves and the fish; and after giving thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. ³⁷And all of them ate and were filled; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. ³⁸Those who had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children. ³⁹After sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.

(1a) Del maestro de coro. Salmo, cántico.
66 (1b) Canten a Dios con alegría,
habitantes de toda la tierra;
2 canten himnos a su glorioso nombre;
cántenle gloriosas alabanzas.
3 Díganle a Dios:
«Tus obras son maravillosas.
Por tu gran poder
tus enemigos caen aterrados ante ti;
4 todo el mundo te adora
y canta himnos a tu nombre.»

5 Vengan a ver las obras de Dios,
las maravillas que ha hecho por los hombres:
6 convirtió el mar en tierra seca,
y nuestros antepasados cruzaron el río a pie;
¡alegrémonos en Dios!
7 Con su poder, gobierna para siempre;
vigila su mirada a las naciones,
para que los rebeldes
no se levanten contra él.

8 ¡Naciones, bendigan a nuestro Dios!,
¡hagan resonar himnos de alabanza!
9 Porque nos ha mantenido con vida;
no nos ha dejado caer.

10 Dios nuestro, tú nos has puesto a prueba,
¡nos has purificado como a la plata!
11 Nos has hecho caer en la red;
nos cargaste con un gran peso.
12 Dejaste que un cualquiera nos pisoteara;
hemos pasado a través de agua y fuego,
pero al fin nos has dado respiro.

13 Entraré en tu templo y te ofreceré holocaustos;
así cumpliré mis promesas,
14 las promesas que te hice
cuando me hallaba en peligro.
15 Te presentaré holocaustos de animales engordados;
te ofreceré toros y machos cabríos,
y sacrificios de carneros.

16 ¡Vengan todos ustedes,
los que tienen temor de Dios!
¡Escuchen, que voy a contarles
lo que ha hecho por mí!
17 Con mis labios y mi lengua
lo llamé y lo alabé.
18 Si yo tuviera malos pensamientos,
el Señor no me habría escuchado;
19 ¡pero él me escuchó y atendió mis oraciones!

20 ¡Bendito sea Dios,
que no rechazó mi oración
ni me negó su amor!

El Señor es mi pastor
(1a) Salmo de David.
23 (1b) El Señor es mi pastor;
nada me falta.
2 En verdes praderas me hace descansar,
a las aguas tranquilas me conduce,
3 me da nuevas fuerzas
y me lleva por caminos rectos,
haciendo honor a su nombre.

4 Aunque pase por el más oscuro de los valles,
no temeré peligro alguno,
porque tú, Señor, estás conmigo;
tu vara y tu bastón me inspiran confianza.

5 Me has preparado un banquete
ante los ojos de mis enemigos;
has vertido perfume en mi cabeza,
y has llenado mi copa a rebosar.
6 Tu bondad y tu amor me acompañan
a lo largo de mis días,
y en tu casa, oh Señor, por siempre viviré.
