Ozej 14: 2- 10
| 14:2 | Izrael, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity. |
| 14:3 | Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips. |
| 14:4 | Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.” |
| 14:5 | I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them. |
| 14:6 | I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon. |
| 14:7 | His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon. |
| 14:8 | They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon. |
| 14:9 | Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me any more?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me. |
| 14:10 | Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them. |
Mark 12: 28- 34
| 12:28 | In eden od pisarjev, ki ju je slišal prepirati, se mu približala. In ko je videl, da jim je dobro odgovoril, vprašal ga je, katera je prva od vseh zapovedi. |
| 12:29 | In Jezus mu je odgovoril: »Kajti prva od vseh zapovedi je ta: 'Poslušaj, Izrael. Gospod, tvoj Bog, je en sam Bog. |
| 12:30 | In ljubil boš Gospoda, svojega Boga, iz vsega svojega srca, in iz vse svoje duše, in iz vsega svojega uma, in iz vse svoje moči. To je prva zapoved.« |
| 12:31 | Toda drugi je temu podoben: Ljubi svojega bližnjega kakor samega sebe. Ni druge zapovedi, večje od teh.« |
| 12:32 | In pisar mu je rekel: Dobro povedano, učiteljica. Povedal si resnico, da je en Bog, in ni drugega poleg njega; |
| 12:33 | in da ga je treba ljubiti iz vsega srca, in iz celotnega razumevanja, in iz cele duše, in iz vse moči. In ljubiti svojega bližnjega kot samega sebe je večje od vseh holokavstov in žrtev.« |
| 12:34 | In Jezus, ko je videl, da se je odzval modro, mu rekel, "Nisi daleč od Božjega kraljestva." In po tem, nihče si ga ni upal vprašati. |
