First Reading
Job 38:1, 12-21; 40:3-5
38
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
12“Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,
13that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14It is changed like clay under the seal, and it is dyed like a garment.
15From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.
16“Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.
19“Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,
20that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?
21You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!

3Then Job answered the LORD:
4“Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.”
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 139:1-3, 7-10, 13-14
1O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me!
2Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up; thou discernest my thoughts from afar.
3Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
7Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there!
9If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
13For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works! Thou knowest me right well;
Gospel
Luke 10:13-16
13“Woe to you, Choraʹzin! woe to you, Beth-saʹida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14But it shall be more tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
15And you, Caperʹna-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
16“He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
