Gospel : Matthew 13:44-46
44 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
45 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Jeremiah 15:10, 16-21
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife
and a man of contention to the whole earth!
I have not lent, neither have men lent to me;
yet everyone of them curses me.
16 Your words were found,
and I ate them.
Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart,
for I am called by your name, the LORD, God of Armies.
17 I didn't sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced;
I sat alone because of your hand;
for you have filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain perpetual,
and my wound incurable,
which refuses to be healed?
Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
19 Therefore the LORD says,
"If you return, then I will bring you again,
that you may stand before me;
and if you take out the precious from the vile,
you shall be as my mouth.
They shall return to you,
but you shall not return to them.
20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall;
and they shall fight against you,
but they shall not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you
and to deliver you," says the LORD.
21 "I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible."
