Psalm 36:6-11
6 Lord, your mercy is in heaven, and your truth is even to the clouds. 7 Your justice is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great abyss. Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord. 8 How you have multiplied your mercy, O God! And so the sons of men will hope under the cover of your wings. 9 They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment. 10 For with you is the fountain of life; and within your light, we will see the light. 11 Extend your mercy before those who know you, and your justice to these, who are upright in heart. Jeremiah 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13 1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 2 "Go, and cry out to the ears of Jerusalem, saying: Thus says the Lord: I have remembered you, taking pity on your youth and on the charity of your betrothal, when you followed me into the desert, into a land which is not sown. 3 Israel is holy to the Lord, the first of his fruits. All those who devour him commit an offense. Evils will overwhelm them, says the Lord." 7 And I led you into the land of Carmel, so that you would eat from its fruit and from its excellence. And having entered it, you defiled my land, and you turned my inheritance into an abomination. 8 The priests have not sad: 'Where is the Lord?' And those who held the law did not know me. And the pastors betrayed me. And the prophets prophesied in Baal and followed idols. 12 Be astonished at this, O heavens, and be utterly desolate, O gates of heaven, says the Lord. 13 For my people have done two evils. They have forsaken me, the Fountain of living water, and they have dug for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that are unable to hold water.
