Gospel : Matthew 9:32-38

32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

34 But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons."

35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed§ and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."

Hosea 8:4-7, 11-13

4 They have set up kings, but not by me.
They have made princes, and I didn't approve.
Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols,
that they may be cut off.

5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol!
My anger burns against them!
How long will it be until they are capable of purity?

6 For this is even from Israel!
The workman made it, and it is no God;
indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

7 For they sow the wind,
and they will reap the whirlwind.
He has no standing grain.
The stalk will yield no head.
If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning,
they became for him altars for sinning.

12 I wrote for him the many things of my law,
but they were regarded as a strange thing.

13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings,
they sacrifice meat and eat it,
but Yahweh doesn't accept them.
Now he will remember their iniquity,
and punish their sins.
They will return to Egypt.
