Matthew 21:33-46
33 "Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey.
34 When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce.
35 But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned.
36 Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way.
37 Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.'
38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.'
39 They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?"
41 They answered him, "He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times."
42 Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'?
43 Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.
44 ( The one who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.)"
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them.
46 And although they were attempting to arrest him, they feared the crowds, for they regarded him as a prophet.
Proverbs 10:17-32
17 A path to life is his who heeds admonition, but he who disregards reproof goes astray.
18 It is the lips of the liar that conceal hostility; but he who spreads accusations is a fool.
19 Where words are many, sin is not wanting; but he who restrains his lips does well.
20 Like choice silver is the just man's tongue; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The just man's lips nourish many, but fools die for want of sense.
22 It is the LORD'S blessing that brings wealth, and no effort can substitute for it.
23 Crime is the entertainment of the fool; so is wisdom for the man of sense.
24 What the wicked man fears will befall him, but the desire of the just will be granted.
25 When the tempest passes, the wicked man is no more; but the just man is established forever.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, is the sluggard to those who use him as a messenger.
27 The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked are brief.
28 The hope of the just brings them joy, but the expectation of the wicked comes to nought.
29 The LORD is a stronghold to him who walks honestly, but to evildoers, their downfall.
30 The just man will never be disturbed, but the wicked will not abide in the land.
31 The mouth of the just yields wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32 The lips of the just know how to please, but the mouth of the wicked, how to pervert
