Isaiah 35:1-10

2. The Prophecies of Isaiah Reading

Thus saith the Lord: Thirsty! Go [all] to the water; And all of you who have not money, come and buy and eat, and drink wine and fat without money and without payment. Why do you not value bread with silver, and your labor not for satiation? Hear me, and taste good things, and your soul will delight in good things. Give ear to me, and follow my ways, and hear me, and your soul shall dwell among good things; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, I will give you the holy inheritance of David, which is immutable. Behold, I have given Him as a testimony among the nations, as a ruler and ruler among the nations. Behold, the nations that do not know you will call you, and the nations that do not know you will run to you for the sake of the Lord your God and the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

Seek the Lord; and when ye find him, call upon him. But when he draws near to you, let the wicked man forsake his ways, and the wicked man his designs. And you shall turn to the Lord (your God), and you shall have mercy; and cry out, for he will soon forgive your sins. For My designs are not like your designs, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. But as heaven is separated from earth, so is my way from your ways, and your thoughts from my thought. For as if rain or snow come down from heaven, and it is not deflected from there, until it waters the earth, and it begins to bring forth and grow, and gives seed to him that sows, and bread to eat, so shall be my word, which, if it come out of my mouth, shall not return to me in vain, until it has done all that pleases me, and have fulfilled my ways and my commandments. For you will go out with joy, and in joy you will be taught: for the mountains and hills will leap and receive you with joy, and all the trees of the field will applaud with their branches. And instead of heather there will be a cypress, and instead of nettles there will be a myrtle; and it shall be in the name of the Lord, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.

Isaiah 55:1-13

3. Isaiah's Prophecies Reading

Thus says the Lord: "Draw waters with gladness from the fountains of salvation!" And you will say on that day: "Sing praise to the Lord (and) call on His name; proclaim among the nations his glorious works; remind them that his name is exalted. Sing the name of the Lord, for He hath created lofty, proclaim it in all the earth. Rejoice and be glad, ye inhabitants of Zion, for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of it.

Isaiah 12:3-6

After the 3rd parimia, the reader proclaims the prokeimenon, the same as at the Liturgy, and reads:

Apostle

Corinthians, conceived 143B

Brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant that our fathers were all under a cloud, and all passed through the sea; and all were baptized in the cloud and in the sea; and all tasted the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them. And the rock was Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:1–4

Alleluia, tone 4
