Gospel : Luke 10:21-24

21 In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."

22 Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."

23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn't see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn't hear them."

Isaiah 11:1-10

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2 Hear, heavens,
and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken:
"I have nourished and brought up children
and they have rebelled against me.

3 The ox knows his owner,
and the donkey his master's crib;
but Israel doesn't know.
My people don't consider."

4 Ah sinful nation,
a people loaded with iniquity,
offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken Yahweh.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They are estranged and backward.

5 Why should you be beaten more,
that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it,
but wounds, welts, and open sores.
They haven't been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.

7 Your country is desolate.
Your cities are burned with fire.
Strangers devour your land in your presence
and it is desolate,
as overthrown by strangers.

8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut in a field of melons,
like a besieged city.

9 Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant,
we would have been as Sodom.
We would have been like Gomorrah.

10 Hear Yahweh's word, you rulers of Sodom!
Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
