- If you would seriously consider my reproof,
I would pour out my thoughts to you
and make my precepts known to you. - My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a contrite and humble heart, O God,
you will not spurn. - Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.
- Let us examine and test our ways
and return to the Lord.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom. After you have suffered for a brief period, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and support you.Next verse!With image
