The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 15: 10, 16-21

15:10	“O my mother, woe to me! Why did you conceive me, a man of strife, a man of discord to all the earth? I have not lent money at interest, nor has anyone lent money at interest to me. Yet everyone is cursing me.”
15:16	I discovered your words and I consumed them. And your word became to me as the gladness and joy of my heart. For your name has been invoked over me, O Herr, der Gott der Heerscharen.
15:17	I did not sit in the company of mockers, nor did I glorify myself before the presence of your hand. I sat alone, because you filled me with threats.
15:18	Why has my sorrow become never-ending, and why has my wound become so dire that it refuses to be cured? It has become for me like the deception of untrustworthy waters.”
15:19	Aus diesem Grund, thus says the Lord: “If you will be converted, I will convert you. And you will stand before my face. And you will separate what is precious from what is vile. You will be my mouthpiece. They will be converted to you, but you will not be converted to them.
15:20	And I will present you to this people as a strong wall of brass. And they will fight against you, and they will not prevail. Denn ich bin bei dir, so as to save you and to rescue you, sagt der Herr.
15:21	And I will free you from hand of those who are most wicked, and I will redeem you from the hand of the powerful.”

Evangelium

The Holy Gospel to Matthew 13: 44-46

13:44	Das Himmelreich ist wie ein Schatz, der in einem Acker verborgen ist. Wenn ein Mann es findet, er verbirgt es, Und, wegen seiner Freude, er geht und verkauft alles, was er hat, und er kauft dieses Feld.
13:45	Nochmal, das Himmelreich ist wie ein Kaufmann, der gute Perlen sucht.
13:46	Eine Perle von großem Wert gefunden, Er ging weg und verkaufte alles, was er hatte, und er kaufte es.
