Matthew 7:1-5 ESV / 2,609 helpful votes
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with
the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye,
but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, Let me take the
speck out of your eye, when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of
your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes
he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the
one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has
welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master
that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person
esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully
convinced in his own mind.

Of David. Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!
Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help! Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers!
Say to my soul, I am your salvation! Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek after my life! Let
them be turned back and disappointed who devise evil against me! Let them be like chaff before the
wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away!

Isaiah 53:1-6 ESV / 18 helpful votes
Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For
he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty
that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by
men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was
despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we
esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he
was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his
stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 1:1-31 ESV / 17 helpful votes
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. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for
the Lord has spoken: Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me. The ox
knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not
understand. Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal
corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly
estranged. Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to
the Lord on the day when the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of
Saul. He said: I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my
God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon
the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death
encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares
of death confronted me.
