Prokeimenon, tone 6.
The Lord reigns, / let the earth rejoice. Verse: Let the many islands rejoice.
Reading the prophecies of Isain.
Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and set them up, establish the earth and what is on it, and give breath to the people who are on it, and spirit to those who walk on it. I, the Lord God, have called you in righteousness, and I will hold your hand, and strengthen you, and give you for the covenant of the generation of Israel, for the light of the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring you out of the bonds that bind, and from the house of prison, and those who sit in darkness. I am the Lord God, this is My name, I will not give My glory to others, lower than My virtues to the graven image. Even from the beginning, behold, I have come, and a new one, which I will proclaim, and before I could tell, has appeared to you. Sing a new song to the Lord, O O Lord, glorify His name from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea and those who sail on it, the islands and those who live on them. The wilderness rejoiced, and the rulers thereof, the courtiers, and they that dwell in Kedar, they that dwell on the rocks shall rejoice, and they shall cry out from the ends of the mountains. They will give glory to God, His virtues will be proclaimed in the islands. The Lord God of hosts will come forth and destroy the army, stir up zeal, and cry out against His enemies with might. I’ll keep silent, I’ll always be silent, and I’ll be patient? I will endure, like a woman in labor, I will destroy and dry up together, I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and I will dry up all their grass, and I will make rivers into islands, and I will dry up the meadows. And I will cause the blind to walk in a way they have not seen, and I will make them walk in paths they do not know; I will make darkness for them light, and darkness to be right. These are the verbs I will create, and I will not forsake them.
Prokeimenon, tone 6.

At the 9th hour the kathisma is 11th.
ON THURSDAY FIFTH WEEKS EVENING
According to the initial verse, instead of, To the Lord, we will always mourn, kathisma 18. He quickly rivets the lamp, labor for the sake of the vigil. I cried to the Lord, let us set verses, 10.
And I sing myself, twice. Voice 8:
I self-righteously stripped myself, / with my first crime, / of the virtues of grace, / and put on this abiya / to me by Your condescension, O the Word of God. / For you did not despise me in fierce passions, / and trample me robberly along the way, / but having provided me with your all-strong power, / you vouchsafed intercession to me, O Most Merciful One.
Martyred: Martyrs of the Lord, / you sanctify every place, / and heal every ailment, / and now we pray, / that our souls may be delivered from the snares of the enemy, we pray.
Other stichera, tone 1. Similar to: All-praises of the martyr:
Nailed, O Lord, on the Cross, / Thou hast torn apart Adam’s handwriting with a Divine copy, / therefore break my bonds, O Word, / for in Your praise I will devour the sacrifice of faith, rejoicing, / in time You have now found the favorable name of fasting, / you have shown it to everyone for the salvation.
Sometimes the mercy of His lordship Moses beamed, / the glory of God in the sight, / jealous of this, my humble soul, / on the Cross, with outstretched hands for thee, for the sake of goodness, / pleasing deeds, abstinence and prayer yours, / so that you may improve Divine pleasure.
Ina stichera, tone 6. Similar to: Let us sing in Archangelic style:
We worship Your life-giving Cross, / Your immeasurable goodness to us, O Christ, is ineffable, / and having thus enlightened our souls, we sing of You unceasingly, / begging with complacency, with the joy of ending the journey more than mercy, / and to achieve Your passion, O Lord, / in the image in which you saved us.

Prokeimenon, tone 7.
Lift up the Lord our God, / and worship His footstool, for He is holy. Verse: The Lord reigns, let the people be angry.
Genesis reading.
Speech of the Lord: The cry of Sodom and Gomorra has multiplied against Me, and their sins have been great; I will come down and see if according to their cry that is coming to Me they will be accomplished; Otherwise, yes, I mean. And the men turned from there and came to Sodom; Abraham stand still more before the Lord. And Abraham approached, saying: Will you destroy the righteous with the wicked, and the righteous will be like the wicked? If there were fifty righteous women in the city, would I destroy them? Would you not spare the whole place of fifty for the sake of the righteous, if they were in it? By no means will you do according to this verb, even if you kill the righteous with the wicked, and the righteous will be like the wicked: in no way. Judge of all the earth, will you not execute judgment? The Lord said: If there be fifty righteous women in the city in Sodom, I will leave the whole city and the whole place for their sake. And Abraham answered, saying: “Now have I begun to speak to my Lord, for I am earth and ashes; If the fifty righteous women be reduced to fourty-five, would you destroy the whole city for the sake of the fourty-five? And he said: I will not destroy, if I find fourty-five there. And add another verb to Him, and say: What if the four ten will be found there? And he said: I will not destroy for the sake of fourty. And he said: What, Lord, should I say? What if there will be thirty there? And I said: I will not destroy for the sake of the thirty. And he said: Let the imam speak to the Lord, and what if the twenty will be found there? And he said: I will not destroy, if twenty are found there. And he said: What, Lord, if I speak one more time? Will ten be found there? And I said: I will not destroy for the sake of ten. The Lord departed, for He ceased speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Prokeimenon, tone 6.
Shout to the Lord / all the earth. Verse: Work for the Lord in joy.
Proverbs reading.
Accept punishment and good things will happen, but keep reproof and you will gain wisdom. He who keeps his own ways, guards his soul, but he who loves lives his life, spares his lips, before contrition comes annoyance, and before a fall, evil thoughts. It is better to be meek-hearted with humility than to share self-interest with annoying people. He who is wise in things, the finder of good things, trust in the Lord, blessed. The wise and prudent will be called evil, but there will be sweetness in words and more will be heard. The source of life is wisdom for those who have acquired it, but the punishment of the foolish is evil. The heart of the wise understands even from its lips, but in its lips it bears reason. Honeycombs, kind words, and their sweetness is the healing of the soul. The essence of the path is that those who think they are right to be with their husbands, otherwise they will end up in the depths of hell. A man in labor toils for himself, and wears out his destruction; the obstinate bears destruction in his mouth. A foolish husband digs up evil for himself, and in his mouth he treasures fire. An obstinate husband sends out evil, and the lamp of flattery burns to the evil, and separates others. A husband who is lawless seduces others and leads them on the path of evil. He who gnaws his lips, he who gnaws his lips, determines all evil, this is the furnace of evil. Old age is a crown of praise, but on the path of righteousness is found. It is better to have a long-suffering man than a strong man, and a man of understanding rather than a great farmer, and one to control anger rather than one who lays down hail. All the unrighteous go into the depths, but all the righteous come from the Lord. It is better to have bread with sweetness in the world than a house filled with many good and unrighteous sacrifices and war. A wise servant owns foolish masters, but among the brethren he will divide the property into parts. Just as silver and gold are tempted in the furnace, so is the heart chosen by the Lord. The wicked will listen to the tongue of the transgressors, but the righteous will not listen to the lips of lies. Swear at the poor, he irritates the one who created him, but rejoice over the perishing, he will not be blamed, but the merciful will have mercy. The crown of the old children is the children, and the praise of the children is their fathers. To the faithful the whole world is wealth, but to the unfaithful there is penalty. Faithful lips are unbecoming of a fool, and false lips are beneath a righteous one. The reward of grace is punishment for those who use it, and even if he turns back, he will have time. Those who harbor grudges, seek love, those who hate to hide, separate friends and family. Repression crushes the heart of a wise man, but a foolish one does not feel wounds. Every evil person will raise contradictions, but the Lord will send an unmerciful angel. A man of sense will fall into care, but evil will think of madness. Evil does not repay good for good; evil will not go out of his house. Power gives words the beginning of truth, but poverty is led by straight talk and abuse. He who judges the righteous by the unjust and the unjust by the righteous is unclean and abominable to the Lord. The fool has all the wealth he has, for the heartless cannot acquire wisdom. He who builds his house on high, seeks contrition, but he who has a keen eye for learning will fall into evil. May you have a friend at all times, and let your brothers be of help in your needs.
And the rest of the succession of the Presanctified, in which we also partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. At the meal we eat oil and drink wine, working for the sake of the vigil. In the Studite Rule, he commands to eat dry food all that week, more than others, since they are days of mourning and not holidays: in these days one must eat singing and Alleluia. On the holy mountains, Typica argues, on the holy martyr 40, on the finding of the Forerunner's head, and on Wednesday of the Veneration of the Cross, and on the Great Canon, and on Nesedalnoye, eat two stews with oil, and drink two cups of wine. This is a sign of your love from both, so that you who wish to be saved may choose what is most pleasing before God.
It is appropriate to know that if the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos happens on this day, the succession of the Great Canon is sung first, from Monday to Tuesday, that is, on Monday evening. The holiday is immutable.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Why don’t we marvel / at Your Divine Nativity, Most Honorable One? / For you did not accept the temptations of man, O All-Immaculate One, / for you gave birth to a Son in the flesh without the Father. / Previously born from the Father without a mother, / having undergone no change, / or confusion, or division, / but both beings / retaining their properties intact. / Likewise, Mother of the Virgin Lady, / Pray for the salvation of the souls / who confess Thee to the Orthodox Mother of God.
[How can we not be surprised at the birth of the God-Man from You, All-Holy One! / For having not experienced communion with a husband, O Most Immaculate One, / you gave birth to a Son in the flesh without a father, / before the ages, born of the Father without a mother, / and in no way did you experience any change, / or confusion, or division, / but the properties of each nature / preserved intact. / Therefore, Virgin Mother, Lady, / pray to Him for the salvation of the souls / of those who confess You Orthodoxy through the Theotokos.]

[Without seed from the Divine Spirit / and by the will of the Father you conceived the Son of God. / From the Father without a mother before the ages Who had a beginning, / but for our sake from You without a father Who came into existence / You carried in your womb according to the flesh / and nourished him like a baby with milk. / Therefore, do not cease to intercede / for deliverance from the troubles of our souls.]
