Old Testament

Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
On the heights along the way,
     where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
beside the gates leading into the city,
     at the entrances, she cries aloud:
“To you, O men, I call out;
     I raise my voice to all mankind.
“The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,
     before his deeds of old;
I was appointed from eternity,
     from the beginning, before the world began.
When there were no oceans, I was given birth,
     when there were no springs abounding with water;
before the mountains were settled in place,
     before the hills, I was given birth,
before he made the earth or its fields
     or any of the dust of the world.
I was there when he set the heavens in place,
     when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
when he established the clouds above
     and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
when he gave the sea its boundary
     so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
      Then I was the craftsman at his side.
     I was filled with delight day after day,
     rejoicing always in his presence,
rejoicing in his whole world
     and delighting in mankind.
—Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31, NIV

Psalm

O LORD , our Lord,
     how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
     above the heavens.
From the lips of children and infants
     you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
     to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,
     the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
     which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
     the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
     and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
     you put everything under his feet:
all flocks and herds,
     and the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
     and the fish of the sea,
     all that swim the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord,
     how majestic is your name in all the earth!
—Psalm 8, NIV

Epistle

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
—Romans 5:1-5, NIV

Gospel

[Jesus said,] “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.”
—John 16:12-15, NIV
