September 20th : First Reading

On wickedness and virtue

Proverbs 21 :1-6,10-13 
Like flowing water is the heart of the king in the hand of the Lord,
  who turns it where he pleases.
A man’s conduct may strike him as upright,
  the Lord, however, weighs the heart.
To act virtuously and with justice
  is more pleasing to the Lord than sacrifice.
Haughty eye, proud heart,
  lamp of the wicked, nothing but sin.
The hardworking man is thoughtful, and all is gain;
  too much haste, and all that comes of it is want.
To make a fortune with the help of a lying tongue,
  such the idle fantasy of those who look for death.
The wicked man’s soul is intent on evil,
  he looks on his neighbour with dislike.
When a mocker is punished, the ignorant man grows wiser,
  when a wise man is instructed he acquires more knowledge.
The Just One watches the house of the wicked:
  he hurls the wicked to destruction.
He who shuts his ear to the poor man’s cry
  shall himself plead and not be heard.

The Word of the Lord.
