The Second Book of Chronicles 24: 17- 25

24:17 Dan, after Jehoiada passed away, the leaders of Judah entered and reverenced the king. And he was enticed by their obsequiousness, and so he acquiesced to them.
24:18 And they abandoned the temple of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and they served sacred groves and graven images. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of this sin.
24:19 And he sent prophets to them, so that they might return to the Lord. And though they were offering testimony, they were not willing to listen to them.
24:20 And so the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest. And he stood in the sight of the people, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God: Why have you transgressed the precept of the Lord, though it was not to your benefit, and why have you abandoned the Lord, so that he would then abandon you?”
24:21 And gathering together against him, they stoned him, beside the place of the king, in the atrium of the house of the Lord.
24:22 And king Joash did not remember the mercy with which Jehoiada, his father, had treated him; instead he put to death his son. And as he was dying, hy sei: “May the Lord see and take account.”
24:23 And when a year had turned, the army of Syria ascended against him. And they went to Judah and Jerusalem. And they put to death all the leaders of the people. And they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.
24:24 And although certainly there had arrived a very small number of Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an immense multitude. For they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. Also, against Joash they executed disgraceful judgments.
24:25 And upon departing, they left him greatly debilitated. Then his servants rose up against him, in vengeance for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest. And they killed him on his bed, and he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.

Gospel

It Hillige Evangeelje neffens Mattéus 6: 24-34

6:24 Nimmen is by steat om twa masters te tsjinjen. Want of hy sil haat hawwe foar de iene, en hâld fan de oare, of hy sil oanhâlde mei de iene, en ferachtsje de oare. Jo kinne God en rykdom net tsjinje.
6:25 En dat sis ik dy, wês net benaud oer dyn libben, wat jo ite sille, noch oer dyn lichem, oer wat jo sille drage. Is it libben net mear as iten, en it lichem mear as klean?
6:26 Tink oan de fûgels fan 'e loft, hoe't se ek net siede, noch rispje, noch sammelje yn skuorren, en dochs fiedt jimme himelske Heit harren. Binne jo net fan folle gruttere wearde as se binne?
6:27 En wa fan dy, troch te tinken, is by steat om ien jelne ta te foegjen oan syn stal?
6:28 En as foar klean, wêrom bisto eangst? Tink oan de lelies fan it fjild, hoe't se groeie; hja wurkje net noch weve.
6:29 Mar ik sis dy, dat sels Salomo net, yn al syn gloarje, wie opsteld as ien fan dizze.
6:30 Dus as God it gers fan it fjild sa beklaait, dy't hjir hjoed is, en moarn yn 'e oven smite, hoefolle mear sil er foar dy soargje, O lyts yn leauwe?
6:31 Dêrom, kieze net om eangst te wêzen, siswize: ‘Wat sille wy ite, en hwet scille wy drinke, en hwat scille wy klaaid wirde?'
6:32 Want de heidenen sykje al dizze dingen. Dochs wit jo Heit dat jo al dizze dingen nedich binne.
6:33 Dêrom, sykje earst it keninkryk fan God en syn gerjochtichheid, en al dy dingen scille jimme ek taheakke wirde.
6:34 Dêrom, wês net benaud foar moarn; want de takomstige dei sil foar himsels eangst wêze. Genôch foar de dei is syn kwea."
