Mattityahu 6:19-34

Mattityahu 6:19-34 TOJB2011

Do not store up for yourselves otzarot (treasures) on haaretz, where moth and rust destroy and where ganavim (thieves) break in and steal. But zahmlet aich (collect for yourselves) otzarot (treasures) in Shomayim, where neither moth nor rust destroys; neither do ganavim break in and steal. For where your otzar is, there also will be your lev. The eye is the menorah of the basar. Therefore, if your eye is unblurred, then your whole basar will be lighted. But if yours is the ayin horo, your kol is choshech; if ohr choshech, great choshech! No one is able to serve two adonim (masters). For either he will have sinah (hatred) for the one and ahavah (love) for the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve HASHEM and Mammon (Money). Therefore, I say to you, Do not have a LEV ROGEZ (anxious heart) about your life, what you might wear or what you might drink, nor for your basar, what you might put on. Is not life more than okhel (food) and basar more than malbush (clothing)? Look to the OPH HASHOMAYIM (birds of heaven), for they do not sow nor reap nor gather into storehouses, and your Av shbaShomayim feeds them. Are you yourselves not worth more than they? And who among you by a LEV ROGEZ is able to add to his life span one cubit? And why have a LEV ROGEZ (anxious heart) about malbush (clothing)? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not labor nor spin. But I say to you that not even Sh'lomo HaMelech in all his kavod (glory) was clothed as one of these. And if HASHEM thus clothes the grass of the field that exists today and tomorrow is thrown into a furnace, how much more will he clothe you, you ones of little emunah? Therefore, do not have a LEV ROGEZ, saying, What might we eat? or What might we drink? or With what might we clothe ourselves? For all these things the Goyim strive. For your Av shbaShomayim bavorn (anticipates) that you need all these things. But seek first the Malchut HASHEM and the Tzidkat HASHEM, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore, do not have a LEV ROGEZ for tomorrow, for makhar (tomorrow) will care for itself. Each day has enough tzoros of its own.
