who are Israelites. To them belong the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, by human descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen.

many peoples will come and say,“ Come, let us go up to the LORD’s mountain, to the temple of the God of Jacob, so he can teach us his requirements, and we can follow his standards.” For Zion will be the center for moral instruction; the LORD will issue edicts from Jerusalem.

For as I went around and observed closely your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:‘ To an unknown god.’ Therefore what you worship without knowing it, this I proclaim to you.

and repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

He proclaims his word to Jacob, his statutes and regulations to Israel.

On that day they will say to Jerusalem,“ Don’t be afraid, Zion! Your hands must not be paralyzed from panic!The LORD your God is in your midst; he is a warrior who can deliver. He takes great delight in you; he renews you by his love; he shouts for joy over you.”

Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?Actually, there are many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

Therefore, although God has overlooked such times of ignorance, he now commands all people everywhere to repent,

Our God is a God who delivers; the LORD, the sovereign Lord, can rescue from death.

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Look! Your king is coming to you: he is legitimate and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey– on a young donkey, the foal of a female donkey.

Look, God is my deliverer! I will trust in him and not fear. For the LORD gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer.”

For it is clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, yet Moses said nothing about priests in connection with that tribe.

I am bringing my deliverance near, it is not far away; I am bringing my salvation near, it does not wait. I will save Zion; I will adorn Israel with my splendor.”

So the king of Assyria ordered,“ Take back one of the priests whom you deported from there. He must settle there and teach them the requirements of the God of the land.”So one of the priests whom they had deported from Samaria went back and settled in Bethel. He taught them how to worship the LORD.But each of these nations made its own gods and put them in the shrines on the high places that the people of Samaria had made. Each nation did this in the cities where they lived.The people from Babylon made Succoth Benoth, the people from Cuth made Nergal, the people from Hamath made Ashima,the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their sons in the fire as an offering to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.At the same time they worshiped the LORD. They appointed some of their own people to serve as priests in the shrines on the high places.They were worshiping the LORD and at the same time serving their own gods in accordance with the practices of the nations from which they had been deported.To this very day they observe their earlier practices. They do not worship the LORD; they do not obey the rules, regulations, law, and commandments that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom he renamed Israel.The Lord made an agreement with them and instructed them,“ You must not worship other gods. Do not bow down to them, serve them, or offer sacrifices to them.Instead you must worship the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt by his great power and military ability; bow down to him and offer sacrifices to him.You must carefully obey at all times the rules, regulations, law, and commandments he wrote down for you. You must not worship other gods.You must never forget the agreement I made with you, and you must not worship other gods.Instead you must worship the LORD your God; then he will rescue you from the power of all your enemies.”But they pay no attention; instead they observe their earlier practices.These nations are worshiping the LORD and at the same time serving their idols; their sons and grandsons do just as their fathers have done, to this very day.

they came to Zerubbabel and the leaders and said to them,“ Let us help you build, for like you we seek your God and we have been sacrificing to him from the time of King Esarhaddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs; the nations will obey him.

But as for us, the LORD is our God and we have not rejected him. Aaron’s descendants serve as the LORD’s priests and the Levites assist them with the work.They offer burnt sacrifices to the LORD every morning and every evening, along with fragrant incense. They arrange the Bread of the Presence on a ritually clean table and light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. Certainly we are observing the LORD our God’s regulations, but you have rejected him.Now look, God is with us as our leader. His priests are ready to blow the trumpets to signal the attack against you. You Israelites, don’t fight against the LORD God of your ancestors, for you will not win!”

Cry out and shout for joy, O citizens of Zion, for the Holy One of Israel acts mightily among you!”
