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.”

2 Timothy 3:14-17
14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 119:9-14
9How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to thy word.
10With my whole heart I seek thee; let me not wander from thy commandments!
11I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12Blessed be thou, O LORD; teach me thy statutes!
13With my lips I declare all the ordinances of thy mouth.
14In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.
Gospel
Matthew 13:47-52
47“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind;
48when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad.
49So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,
50and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
51“Have you understood all this?” They said to him, “Yes.”
52And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”
