Psalms, Chapter 25
Of David
O LORD, I set my hope on You;
my God, in You I trust; may I not be disappointed, may my enemies not exult over me.
O let none who look to You be disappointed; let the faithless be disappointed, empty-handed.
Let me know Your paths, O LORD; teach me Your ways;
guide me in Your true way and teach me, for You are God, my deliverer; it is You I look to at all times.
O LORD, be mindful of Your compassion and Your faithfulness; they are old as time.
Be not mindful of my youthful sins and transgressions; in keeping with Your faithfulness consider what is in my favor, as befits Your goodness, O LORD.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
He guides the lowly in the right path, and teaches the lowly His way.
All the LORD's paths are steadfast love for those who keep the decrees of His covenant.
As befits Your name, O LORD, pardon my iniquity though it be great.
Whoever fears the LORD, he shall be shown what path to choose.
He shall live a happy life, and his children shall inherit the land.
The counsel of the LORD is for those who fear Him; to them He makes known His covenant.
My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for He will loose my feet from the net.
Turn to me, have mercy on me, for I am alone and afflicted.
My deep distress increases; deliver me from my straits.
Look at my affliction and suffering, and forgive all my sins.
See how numerous my enemies are, and how unjustly they hate me!
Protect me and save me; let me not be disappointed, for I have sought refuge in You.
May integrity and uprightness watch over me, for I look to You.
O God, redeem Israel from all its distress

Matthew 23:13-15
NIV
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

Matthew 23:27-28
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

NIV
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices, mint, dill, and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law — justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, then the outside will be clean.

Matthew 23:29
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build temples for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘if we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of our prophets.’ So you testify against yourself that you are the descendants of those who murder the prophets. Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

Matthew 23:1-12
NIV
Then Jesus said to the crowds and his disciples: ‘The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, because they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see:
They make their phylacteries long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, because you have one instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.’

A day late but thought I would add two anyway.
Numbers 29:1: "'On the first day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. It is a day for you to sound the trumpets'"
Isaiah 1:18: "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool," highlights God's readiness for forgiveness.

Psalms 146:7-10
7 Yahweh gives justice to the oppressed, gives food to the hungry; sets prisoners free.
8 Yahweh gives sight to the blind, lifts up those who are bowed down.
9 Yahweh protects the stranger, he sustains the orphan and the widow. Yahweh loves the upright,but he frustrates the wicked.
10 Yahweh reigns for ever, your God, Zion, from age to age.

Habakkuk 1:2-3, 2:2-4
How long, Yahweh, am I to cry for help while you will not listen; to cry, 'Violence!' in your ear while you will not save?
Why do you make me see wrong-doing, why do you countenance oppression? Plundering and violence confront me, contention and discord flourish.
Then Yahweh answered me and said, 'Write the vision down, inscribe it on tablets to be easily read.
For the vision is for its appointed time, it hastens towards its end and it will not lie; although it may take some time, wait for it, for come it certainly will before too long.
'You see, anyone whose heart is not upright will succumb, but the upright will live through faithfulness.'

Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me you evildoers!’

Luke 17:11-19
Now it happened that on the way to Jerusalem He was traveling in the borderlands of Samaria and Galilee.
As He entered one of the villages, ten men suffering from a virulent skin-disease came to meet Him. They stood some way off
and called to Him, 'Jesus! Master! Take pity on us.'
When He saw them He said, 'Go and show yourselves to the priests.' Now as they were going away they were cleansed.
Finding himself cured, one of them turned back praising God at the top of his voice
and threw himself prostrate at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him. The man was a Samaritan.
This led Jesus to say, 'Were not all ten made clean? The other nine, where are they?
It seems that no one has come back to give praise to God, except this foreigner.'
And He said to the man, 'Stand up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.'

When Jesus arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met Him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.
The demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water.
Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they pleaded with Him to leave their region.
