Micah 6:1-4, 6-8
Hear ye what the Lord saith: Arise, contend thou in judgment against the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.Let the mountains hear the judgment of the Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord will enter into judgment with his people, and he will plead against Israel.O my people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I molested thee? answer thou me.For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and delivered thee out of the house of slaves: and I sent before thy face Moses, and Aaron, and Mary.O my people, remember, I pray thee, what Balach the king of Moab purposed: and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Setim to Galgal, that thou mightest know the justices of the Lord.What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? wherewith shall I kneel before the high God? shall I offer holocausts unto him, and calves of a year old?
Psalm 50:5-6, 8-9, 16bc-17, 21, 23
Matthew 12:38-42
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master we would see a sign from thee.Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here.The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transfer interrupted! And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none.
