Reading

The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 30: 1-2,12-15, 18-22

30:1	This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, gesot:
30:2	“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, gesot: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
30:12	For thus says the Lord: “Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious.
30:13	There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you.
30:14	All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities.
30:15	Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.
30:18	Thus says the Lord: "Kuckt, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order.
30:19	And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened.
30:20	And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them.
30:21	And their ruler will one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord?
30:22	And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

Evangelium

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 14: 22-26

14:22	An de Jesus huet seng Jünger prompt gezwongen an d'Boot ze klammen, a fir him virzegoen beim Kräizgang vum Mier, während hien d'Leit entlooss huet.
14:23	An déi vill entlooss hunn, hien ass eleng op e Bierg geklommen fir ze bieden. A wéi den Owend ukomm ass, hien war eleng do.
14:24	Awer an der Mëtt vum Mier, d'Boot gouf vun de Wellen ëmgedréint. Well de Wand war géint si.
14:25	Dann, an der véierter Nuecht Iwwerwaachung, hien ass bei hinnen komm, op d'Mier trëppelen.
14:26	A gesinn hien op d'Mier trëppelen, si goufen gestéiert, gesot: "Et muss eng Erscheinung sinn." A si hunn geruff, wéinst Angscht.
