neither be weary of his correction:
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;
even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. - And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:
but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.Next verse!With image
