Then they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground and said,“ O God, the God of the spirits of all people, will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?”

“ Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all humankind, appoint a man over the community,

This is what the true God, the LORD, says– the one who created the sky and stretched it out, the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it, the one who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live on it:

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

‘ Cursed is the one who disrespects his father and mother.’ Then all the people will say,‘ Amen!’

in whose hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all the human race.

The revelation of the word of the LORD concerning Israel: The LORD– he who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundations of the earth, who forms the human spirit within a person– says,

“ Honor your father and your mother, that you may live a long time in the land the LORD your God is giving to you.

And God will exalt you in due time, if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand

Each of you must respect his mother and his father, and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

The eye that mocks at a father and despises obeying a mother– the ravens of the valley will peck it out and the young vultures will eat it.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the life’s breath returns to God who gave it.

So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you.

If a person has a stubborn, rebellious son who pays no attention to his father or mother, and they discipline him to no avail,his father and mother must seize him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his city.They must declare to the elders of his city,“ Our son is stubborn and rebellious and pays no attention to what we say– he is a glutton and drunkard.”Then all the men of his city must stone him to death. In this way you will purge out wickedness from among you, and all Israel will hear about it and be afraid.

O sovereign master, your decrees can give men life; may years of life be restored to me. Restore my health and preserve my life.’

Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right.“ Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely,“ that it may go well with you and that you will live a long time on the earth.”Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

They have treated father and mother with contempt within you; they have oppressed the foreigner among you; they have wronged the orphan and the widow within you.

“ A son naturally honors his father and a slave respects his master. If I am your father, where is my honor? If I am your master, where is my respect? The LORD who rules over all asks you this, you priests who make light of my name! But you reply,‘ How have we made light of your name?’

So then, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne,

concerning his Son who was a descendant of David with reference to the flesh,

To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, by human descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed– cut off from Christ– for the sake of my people, my fellow countrymen,

For I will not be hostile forever or perpetually angry, for then man’s spirit would grow faint before me, the life-giving breath I created.
