Luke 23:44-49
English Standard Version
The Death of Jesus
44 (A)It was now about the sixth hour,[a] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,[b] 45 while the sun's light failed. And (B)the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, (C)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, (D)into your hands I (E)commit my spirit!” And having said this (F)he breathed his last. 47 Now (G)when the centurion saw what had taken place, (H)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” 48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home (I)beating their breasts. 49 And all (J)his acquaintances and (K)the women who had followed him from Galilee (L)stood at a distance watching these things.

Proverbs 27:15-27
English Standard Version
15 (A)A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
16 to restrain her is to restrain the wind
or to grasp[a] oil in one's right hand.
17 Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another.[b]
18 (B)Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and he who (C)guards his master will be honored.
19 As in water face reflects face,
so the heart of man reflects the man.
20 (D)Sheol and Abaddon are (E)never satisfied,
and (F)never satisfied are the eyes of man.
21 (G)The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
and a man is tested by his praise.
22 (H)Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle
along with crushed grain,
yet his folly will not depart from him.
23 (I)Know well the condition of your flocks,
and (J)give attention to your herds,
24 for (K)riches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 (L)When the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 (M)the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 (N)There will be enough goats' milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
