Psalms 22:15

A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.

A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.

My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.

I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you will be mute, and will not be able to correct them; for they are a rebellious house.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.”

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

He took the twelve aside, and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer.

They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One will be cut off, and will have nothing. The people of the prince who come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will be with a flood, and war will be even to the end. Desolations are determined.

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.

He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word!

For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
